Telly Gupshup - Mandira roots for Sachin

The quirky world of television is full of stars, starry mood swings, the rat race for the stellar roles and lots more... Mandira roots for Sachin Mandira Bedi is shocked that India's ace batsman Sachin Tendulkar is being criticised for offeringhis bat and gloves for auction to generate funds for Oscar entry Shwaas. "Sachin has done no wrong. At least he has allowed his bat and gloves to be auctioned. Why is the Marathi film industry or the Hindi film industry not doing something? Why blame a cricketer? Just because he is famous and a Maharashtrian? Celebs do come up for a cause which they believe in. I too recently took part in World Disabled Day and World AIDS Day causes," she says. Anil to direct Amrita Ekta Kapoor's trusted lietanant Anil V Kumar is at it, once again. Majorly responsible for putting Kkusum on track after it had gone haywire, for revamping Kahiin To Hoga when it failed to live up to Ekta's expectations in the pre-production stages, taking Kahiin To Hoga to its pinnacle, now handling Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi - the technical expert has now been entrusted to direct Amrita Singh in Kul. No prizes for guessing that Anil would be moving on from Kitni Mast.... The rest of the Kul cast is yet to be finalised, though. The Rajeev story continues.. Rajeev Khandelwal is back from the Maldives on Tuesday morning. The actor says he was completely bowled over by the euphoria he has generated yet again in the island country. Like last time when he visited, this time too he has returned, loaded with gifts from fans. And hey! They clicked about 1500 pictures with him! Apart from a privately organised show, Rajeev even shook a leg for a music video with Sonia (local star) while he was there. Talk of mixing business with pleasure! Ekta's rendezvous The Queen of Soaps too needs a respite once in a while. So, tucking away those trophies she has been winning in the last few days, Ekta Kapoor took a break for 3 - 4 days and chilled out with her friends. And guess which place she chose! Pune. Expect the celebrities to reach where they're least expected to.
