Amitabh Bachchan was busy working on his birthday on October 11. So also Aman Verma, who shares the same birth date as the Big B. Aman was busy working in Jodhpur on his birthday on October 11. Except receiving calls from his near and dear ones, there was nothing else Aman could really do on his birthday. In fact for the past four years he has always been busy working. But he has no complaints. "Kaam hai to jahan hai," he smiles.
TIME TO SETTLE DOWN
Hussain Kuwajerwala is all set to tie the knot with his long-time girlfriend Tina in a few months. The actor has also bought a flat where he plans to move in after marriage. Hussain kept his relationship under wraps for a very long time. Probably he likes that kind of privacy when it comes to personal matters. But now it's time to declare to the world. One hopes to see the actor make grand entry now at parties with his girlfriend and not co-stars as he has been doing until now.
A NEW BEGINNING
Nausheen Alii Sardarr is starting live afresh. Her relationship with actor Vikaas Kalantri has
finally ended. After months of being unsure the couple finally decided to call it quits. Nausheen has now changed the spelling of her full name. Not just that, she has changed her cell number too. This is what we truly call turning over a new leaf.
Ekta to host winding up party for Kkusum
Kkusum completed a thousand episodes and went off air on 30 November. Not that many would have noticed.
In the last few months, there had been too many plot changes, replacements and what have you.
Obviously, then, there is no reason to have a bash to mark its end, yet we hear that Ekta Kapoor plans to hold a winding up party at her Juhu residence on 7 December.
And it isn't just the Kkusum stars who have been invited. The invitee list reads more like a celeb who's who, with stars from other Balaji serials head of the list!
Ekta Kapoor's secretary is busy in sending sms's and calling actors, we hear. Now we are curious - how many Kkusum leads will actually turn up for the party ?
The way Manasi Joshi Roy, Nausheen Ali Sardar and Shweta Kawaatra had made their exits from the show, their presence at the party is distinctly doubtful. If you see them at the party, you can assume it's an attempt to re-build relations.
As for Ekta, she loves her parties, whatever the excuse. Don't we all??
An official admission?
Karan Oberoi all but blushed when he opened the winner's envelope and found that the best actor (female) award had gone to co-artiste Mona Singh. When he read out Mona's name, he said,"This is a special award for somebody who's really special to me." Thus far the duo have been wary of expressing their emotions for each other. But when a beaming Mona hugged Karan and accepted her award, we thought they had admitted it in ways that couldn't have been possible otherwise

I f the grapevine is to be believed, Sumit ( Hussain ) is set for a phased exit from Kumkum
, the serial that made him a star. After the generation leap, Kumkum was hyped as a mature love story, but somehow the show did not go as planned. Sumit, on screen, is currently suffering from a terminal illness. Sources say that the character's death will be shown gradually. Whether this is due to some problem with Hussain or not is difficult to say and the actor refuses to take calls. As if this was not enough, Hussain's onscreen daughter Aashka ( Chahat Khanna ) is also leaving Kumkum since she is getting married next month. The production house, it seems, has already launched a massive hunt for a replacement. R emember Vinod Singh ? The first Dr Ayushmaan, who was forced to leave the serial due to problems with the production house, is upset with the way TV serials are progressing. He has decided to concentrate on ad films while waiting for the right film offers. He was busy shooting for an MRF tyre commercial when this columnist caught him on his cell phone. While Vinod has become more famous for his Close Up ad than Ayushmaan , how far that will help his big screen adventure is anybody's guess.
