The roly-poly, nose-twitching Punjabi kudi Shanno of <em> Shanno Ki Shaadi </em> on Star Plus, is simply unforgettable. So is Divya Dutta who effortlessly portrayed a traditional North Indian girl with a simple lifestyle and high values.

Rajeev Mehra, who produces <em>Shanno ki Shaadi</em> currently for Star Plus, will launch his next venture, <em>Naa Jaane Kyon</em>, on the same channel in June this year. The show, earlier tentatively titled Kasme Vaade, is scheduled to be a daily family drama. The star cast includes big names including Neena Gupta, Smita Jaykar, Vikas Bhalla, Mukul Dev, Rajender Gupta and introduces Ashima Bhalla as the lead. The cast has already shot 48 episodes.

Now get ready to watch Shilpa Saklani acting in the same show as hubby Appu... Shilpa Saklani will do a cameo shortly in Sony's prime time show <em>Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin</em>. And this is also the first time that the couple will be seen in the same frame in a TV show, barring of course, <em>Nach Baliye</em>, where the cute couple strutted their stuff and danced to the tunes of their choreographers.

Vikas Bhalla's music career may not be going anywhere, but his television graph is definitely on an upward curve. With <em>Shanno ki Shaadi</em> and <em>Kasme Vaade</em> under his belt, the hunk is also set to return to the show that he was seen in post Zee's <em>Tum Bin Jaoon Kahan, Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin</em>. Vikas, till a few months ago, played CJ, Poorab's friend, who was responsible for being caught in the clinch that cost Jassi her marriage with Armaan.

UTV's <em>Shanno Ki Shaadi</em>, in the making for nearly two years, finally sees light of day on 7 August on Star Plus at 10.30 pm. Divya Dutta plays Shanno, the simple, naive girl, whose main interest in life is making paranthas for her father’s dhaba. She is happy being the bride-in-waiting, waiting patiently for her Prince Charming.
