Riding the band wagon

Wearing funky headbands seems to be the latest fad in tellyville. Both Vikram Acharya and Rohit Roy were spotted sporting colourful headbands at parties last week. Rohit's obsession with T-shirts is a known thing, but this seems to be something else! And this is not all, the guy seems to have traded the age old cigarettes for the more sophisticated (?*?) cigars! The band (on the head!), the funky T-shirts (on the bod!) and a cigar (in the mouth) -- maketh man a fashion icon? Hmmm. Gauri's Bong lingo! Ever wondered how Gauri Pradhan perfected her Bong diction in Star One's Special Squad? The lady who plays forensic expert Deepika Ghosh on the thriller, doesn't really speak a word of Bangla. Then how does she manage to mouth those casual Bangla terms and phrases with nonchalance? Well, we recently found out that all the homework is done for her by a co-star who chooses not to talk about it. The pucca Maharashtrian lass is taking lessons from this Bong co-star, who writes down the words she has to speak, in Devnagri script! No wonder then, that she hardly shows any sign of an accent! Great team work, we say! Anvesha's locks in trouble? It's difficult to keep up with one's image...no one knows this more than the bindaas babe, Priya Wal, who almost lost the red streak in her hair during the 26 July deluge! "It's fading...I have to redo it...," laments the gal, who has taken tellydom by storm with her no nonsense attitude! Priya, who plays Anvesha in the teen show, Remix is very popular among the kids for her whacky sense of dressing and her eccentric ways! Surely, Ashi without the tell patent red locks, will not be the brat we know! Is Irrfan Khan's tryst with television over? Not many know that Kya Kahen, the show hosted by Irrfan Khan on Zoom has ended. It is now airing reruns. So, for this thinking man's actor, television no longer holds any interest. The show is having a repeat telecast of episodes. “My only concern during the show was that we should not mislead the audience in any way, as the theme was supernatural. I am open to more anchoring offers but I don't want to do any soaps as I want to concentrate on films,” says Irrfan. Irrfan Khan has come a long way from his Banegi Apni Baat days! He is doing films like Deadline opposite Konkona Sen and Yu Hota Toh opposite Ayesha Takia. We wish him all the best. We will wait to see more of him on tv as and when he decides to do television.

With Nach Baliye, coming in the same slot of Bluff Master, Vinod has not been shooting for the show. Instead Vinod has been channeling his energies into feature films. Vinod has two films up his sleeve; shooting for one he claims is going to commence from 15 September and the other one from January 2006. But wait, shhh… all is still secret, so don't go tell anyone!
