Comic centennial
SAB TV’s effort to be seen as an all-comedy channel is paying off. One of it’s most popular comedies, Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah has completed 100 episodes. The famous comic duo of Jethalal played by Dilip Joshi and Dayaben played by Disha Vakani along with their family and friends of Gokuldham Co-op Housing Society were present for the celebrations on television’s largest outdoor sets. The icing on the cake was the presence of the original Taarak Mehta, who’d come in from Ahmedabad especially for the event. The popular Gujarati columnist stayed true to the title of his acclaimed column and the spin-off show by wearing his glasses upside down.

Comeback vamp
Television's favorite vamp, Kamya Punjabi is back on Zee TV’s Dulhann as Sindoora. But the twist in the tale is that Sindoora has lost her sanity this time post her confrontation with Amar and Divya and will be seen decaying in the prison when the character resurfaces. The look she has been given is wild and untamed, very unlike what Kamya is in real life. Kamya is super excited and looks really promising in her new avatar. The channel and the production house took months to freeze on this look as it was very important for Sindoora’s character to look convincing. Now if only these telly actors would put as much work in the acting department as they do in the looks department.

As for the rest of us who’d rather not risk our necks, we’ll sit and thrill at home.
