Instead of counting candles, Or tallying the years, Contemplate your blessings now As your birthday nears Jaanvi Sangwan (who has been in shows like <em>Geet Hui Sabse Parayi, Hum Ladkiya Nahin Hungama Hai, Kairi Rishta Khatta Meetha, CID and Aahat</em>) and Rohitash Gaud (best known for his role of Mukundi Lal Gupta, in the SAB TV sitcom <em>Lapataganj – Sharad Joshi Ki Kahaniyon Ka Pata</em>) are celebrating their birthdays today (on 24 March 2013).

Hum Aapke Hai In-Laws, a humorous show on SAB TV, is all about the blessings and lessons, suggestions and tensions we get from our in-laws. The show, which depicts the life of in-laws and their kids, has <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/i-thought-lapataganj-would-shut-down-three-months-says-rohitash>Rohitash Gaud</a> playing the role of Roshan Lal Grover, father of the male protagonist while Shreya plays his wife. The male and female protagonists are played by Karan V Grover and Pooja Pihal respectively. The show is set in the backdrop of the hills of Dehradun.

It is the band baaja baarat season on SAB TV. There was a big hype around <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/dance-masti-magic-during-gadhaprasads-wedding>Gadhaprasad</a>’s wedding with Nagin in Chidiya Ghar. Now, the channel will churn out another wedding, rather a punar vivah (re-marriage) sequence between Indumati (<a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/celeb-watch/what-sucheta-khanna-watching-small-screen>Sucheta Khanna</a>) and Mukundi Lal (<a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/rohitash-gaud-kicked-play-choorma-bhopali>Rohitash Gaud</a>) in <em>Lapataganj</em>.

Who is not aware of the genius Kishore Kumar, whose birthday we celebrate today. Born as Abhas Kumar Ganguly on 4 August, 1929 in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, Kishore Kumar was the youngest among the three siblings after Ashok Kumar and Anoop Kumar. He was not only a master crooner, but he was an actor, a lyricist, composer, producer, director, screenwriter and scriptwriter all rolled into one.

Garima Productions’ <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/muslim-family-join-lapataganj>Lapataganj</a> on SAB TV is loved by the masses of not only in this country but across the globe. The show recently introduced a new Muslim family to spread the idea of secularism.

Ashwini Dheer’s <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/deven-bhojani-might-do-cameo-lapataganj>Lapataganj</a> on SAB TV is treading on the road to success. Recently, the rib-tickler completed 500 episodes and <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/interviews/rajkumar-hirani-has-told-me-he-will-offer-me-significant-role-someday-rohitash-gaur>Rohitash Gaud</a>, who plays the character of Mukundi Lal Gupta, is super kicked about it. “<em>Mein bahut khush hun</em>. I never thought that the show will ever touch the landmark of 500 episodes. It is encouraging as well surprising,” says Rohitash.

15 October was a dreadful day for the cast and crew of Ashwini Dhir's <a href="http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/abbas-biji-pandey-returns-lapataganj/"><em>Lapataganj - Sharad Joshi Ki Kahaniyon Ka Pata,</em></a> a comedy series on SAB. The mighty hand of the Bombay Municipal Corporation came down upon the very lavish set of the show in Malwani, as workers went about demolishing it.
