Down but not out
Reportedly Vikram Massey, aka Shyam, of Balika Vadhu got thrashed by his father and Suguna’s family for deciding to marry a widow. The people who were thrashing him got so excited that they got a bit violent and only stopped when the director started shouting ‘cut’.

We love a man who doesn’t cringe at being beaten to a pulp.

ON the latest episode of Taran Adarsh’s B Biz, Adhyayan Suman blew the lid off his relationship with Kangana Ranaut. “We had an intense relationship but I decided to end it,” said Adhyayan. “For Kangana, work was always a priority. Even after Raaz 2, people said I owed my success to the fact that I was dating a bigger star.” Do we detect a hint of bitterness here? Or just plain chauvinism?.

Telly bliss
HEAVEN, it seems, has nothing more to do with marriages. They’re all being made on television. All it took Bhopal’s Neejaj Parashar to get launched into the world of marital bliss was to be featured on Star Vivaah, India’s first matrimonial show.

If money can’t buy love, television, it seems, can.
