One tight slap!!!

Those who have been following Saath Phere on Zee TV must be aware that Samar, played by Mazher Syedd, had been dutifully obeying his wife, the vampish Kaveri (Anchal Trivedi), for quite sometime. But the recent episode saw a major twist in the tale! It so happened that Samar (Mazher) becomes cognizant of the fact that it's his own wife, Kaveri, who is the master mind behind the troubles his family has been enduring. Thus, he loses his cool and finally the henpecked husband takes a stand against her; result - one tight slap on her face! This smacking scene was canned on 7/11, the unfortunate day of bomb blasts. Panic had already set in, yet the team had to wrap up the crucial episode. But the response after the telecast was worth the effort. "My fans told me that it was a long due slap. Though I slapped in air, the viewers actually thought that it was for real," says Mazher, who has also done a cameo of a don in Yes Boss (SAB TV). Just be careful Mazher! For the sake of authenticity, you might just land in a soup. (Remember how Gauri Pradhan accused Akashdeep Saigal for actually twisting her arm for a scene in Kyunki…) Of stage shows and press ads!! Remember Shweta Agarwal? The overweight bespectacled girl Nikki of Dekho Magar Pyaar Se who seems to have completely gone out of circulation post the show. It seems the model turned actor has been taking time off for comparing stage shows all over the world (America and Europe) besides taking up press ads. "I went for a world tour titled Rockstars with the biggies of Bollywood which lasted for a good two months. I never thought, I could be a good host and the tour has been a fabulous experience. It's a different medium as one requires to interact with the crowd. One has to be alert on stage and there's no script," points out Shweta who is willing to take up television only if she is convinced about the role or else is looking forward to signing films. Here's one actor who doesn't believe in looking at scripts pyaar se. Gourav's hilly b'day It's raining birthdays! After Sandeep Rajora and Riva Bubber, it's aapna Gourav Chanana of Rishton Ki Dorr fame who turned a year older on 15 July. Instead of hosting a plush bash for his friends, this light eyed actor chose the hills. Yes, the venue in question was not Mumbai but Matheran where he ganged up with select friends. "I have turned 28 and I chose to chill out with my friends in Matheran as it was a welcome break from the hectic Mumbai life. The mobile network there was sad, so I couldn't get through people calling me, but I got many wishes via sms", says Gourav. We wish him a belated happy birthday and hope that all his wishes come true…..and also hope that his single status changes till his next birthday! Aamna's private b'day bash with Rajeev These days our tellystars love to throw lavish b'day parties. Last two weeks, we've seen the likes of Nausheen Ali Sardar to Sandeep Rajora to Sooraj Thapar….. soak in a lot of masti on their birthdays'. But there are a few people, like apni ravishing Aamna Shariff, who prefer a private affair! This pretty actress of Kahiin To Hoga fame turned 28 this year on 16 July. But she chose to stay back at home and kept it a low key celebration on 15 July. Giving her company were her parents, a few relatives and no prizes for guessing….her ex co-star Rajeev Khandelwal! This so called 'good friend' presented the ravishing birthday girl an exquisite bouquet! Rajeev surely knows the sure shot way to a girl's heart! What we would like to know from Aamna is what else did she receive from Rajeev ….besides flowers?
