Telly Gupshup - Hot hunk turns the fans on, and how!

The quirky world of television is full of stars, starry mood swings, the rat race for the stellar roles and lots more... Hot hunk turns the fans on, and how! Some guys have all the luck. The delectably handsome Sujal, aka Rajeev Khandelwal is getting more adulation than he can handle. Did you know that recently, when he was leaving Maldives in a motorboat, a bunch of middle-aged ladies, ardent fans of the hunk, started throwing their gold rings and bangles towards him in a bid to catch his eye. Real frenzy, huh? Recently, the guy was presented with an elegant kurta-mojri set by some Pakistani fans. Talk about fans transcending borders! When we asked Rajeev, he said he would 'wear it in a forthcoming episode of Kahiin To Hoga what else?' The guy has also been offered a Pakistani serial, but we hear he turned it down.Some guys just have all the luck. Building a life after Ramola Ramola Sikand, er, Sudha Chandran has stepped into the plot of Doordarshan's Ehsaas. Late night viewers will know that Kaahin Kissi Roz, that catapulted her to notoriety on Star Plus is winding up shop in a month. In Ehsaas, Sudha is said to have been cast in a role that has shades of Rekha's character from Basera. Of course, there can be no comparisons between the two artistes. But we can't help wondering how Chandran is feeling about KKR's imminent end. Sad or relieved? Could be a mixture of both! Nausheen - Nixing the mix-ups Your name can land you in a spot of bother, sometimes. But Nausheen Ali Sardar is amused, rather. Some hacks, nosing around for a scoop, tried to put two and two together and surmised that the Nausheen Ali said to be Gautam Khanduja's ex-wife is our Kkusum! Khanduja, model Nafisa Joseph's fiancé, has been in the eye of a storm after Nafisa ended her life this week. Apparently, she has been getting phone calls for interviews from journalists from Mumbai and Delhi, asking her inane questions and then grilling her about her alleged 'relationship' with Khanduja. Nausheen says she's been going blue in the face telling them she's not the same Nausheen! The lengths some reporters will go to for the sake of an exclusive!! Manasi's about-face! If you were one of those missing hot bod Manasi Varma in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii (she was shown to have departed for Bangalore), this one is for you. The leggy lass hasn't been twiddling her thumbs at home, but has been busy as a bee meeting up film producers. "They were very professional and receptive," says a glowing Manasi. And when we looked closely, we realised that the glow was a mite more than internal happiness. Manasi has been heavily into skin treatment that has completely cleared her face from all pimples, scars et al. "I am soon coming back in Kahaani... and you will notice the change," she tells us. We can't wait! Inder turns dad Inder Kumar (Mihir Virani in Ekta Kapoor's Kyunki... for some episodes after Amar Upadhyay's exit) who married 21-year old Sonal (publicist Raju Kariya's daughter) last year, has become proud papa of a baby girl. The baby was delivered by Caesarean section at Mumbai's Nanavati Hospital this week. Inder was shooting in Kolkata for a Bengali film, but rushed down to be with his wife for a while, before heading back to the sets. Maria -Arshad readying to change diapers Guess, it's stork time in Tellywood. Last week, we told you about Renuka Shahane expecting her second child in December. Next month will bring the bundle of joy to actor Arshad Circuit Warsi and Maria Gorreti, making them first time parents. Goes without saying that the couple is excited as well as nervous. They have waited quite long, haven't they? On the work front, Warsi has Kabir Kaushik's Saher and David Dhawan's flick with Salman and Sohail Khan, Sushmita Sen and Katrina Kaif. Maria was last seen co hosting Extraaa Innings on Max last year, after a stint as veejay on MTV. Can we expect her back on the small screen or will she take as long a sabbatical as Renuka? Time and the rigours of parenthood, will tell.
