Salman's 10 Ka Dum is a hit, gets an extension

Salman's 10 Ka Dum is a hit, gets an extension
Salman Khan’s 10 Ka Dum has truly turned out to be more popular in its second season. It is a never before achieved feat by any big Bollywood star till date on Indian television, and for this, the show has been aptly gifted with a special extension.It is learnt that Salman has been told to shoot for 13 more episodes, which will be divided across 13 more weeks, naturally. Sony Entertainment Television has got a new resuscitation of sorts with this reality game show, with their other shows flagging in popularity. They were surprised to see huge demand and especially for the recently shown non- celebrity episodes. However, the unanimous opinion by one and all is that- its Salman’s charisma that is winning the hearts of the participants and the audiences alike. One can recall, Salman reduced his fee for the second season of the show, taking into consideration the ongoing recession period, but despite that he seems to be giving value for money to the makers and his fans.

Will Rakhi Ka Swayamvar be stayed?

Will Rakhi Ka Swayamvar be stayed?
By Subhash K JhaA Jaipur court on Tuesday ordered the filing of a criminal case of copyright violation against Rakhi Sawant, Ravi Kissan and four others associated with the reality show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, putting a big question mark on the live wedding telecast on August 2.But Samir Nair CEO of NDTV Imagine seems unperturbed. “We’re telecasting the marriage deferred- live (minutes after actual shooting) and we don’t anticipate any trouble. This guy from Jaipur (Gaurav Tiwari) filed a case against us in a district court. They passed an order against him. Then he moved to the High Court. His case was dismissed from there. Now he has filed a criminal case against us. Our legal team is looking into it as we speak. Strange that the case has gone from civil to criminal. This guy runs a portal and claims he owns the word swayamvar. It’s like me claiming I own the word Ramayan or Mahabharat. There’s shadi-com. So we can’t do soap with the word shaadi?”

Arbaaz and Malaika's nanny shocker in London

Arbaaz and Malaika's nanny shocker in London
Arbaaz Khan and Malaika had recently visited London for holidays along with their son Arhaan. They had also taken along their son’s nanny Jackin Fernandes, who had been working them for over a year. They had employed her through an agency and she came highly recommended as she had worked as a maid before with an Indian family in Russia with no complaints. But little did the celebrity couple know about this nanny’s personal agenda on their London trip.“Ever since she joined us she worked efficiently and patiently with Arhaan, his previous nanny had to leave the job because of health reasons, I always felt whether my son would ever be able to adjust to his new nanny, as his previous one was there since he was 4 months old.But to our surprise Arhaan had taken well to her and she loved taking care of him as well. This new nanny’s name is Jackin Fernandes and she hails from Belgaum in Karnataka, she’s married has a 6 year old daughter.Her husband Raymond Fernandes works as a welder cum fabricator in Dubai since last 10 years. Jackin, in the last one year has travelled with us to a number of places including Dubai and Singapore. This time we took her along with us to London too, we began to trust her completely, only for her to shatter all our faith and trust in her in one second.” Arbaaz recalls in his blog update.He continues, “Just two days before Malaika was returning, Jackin was with the kids in a nearby park, she was also entrusted with the apartment keys. That day she left for the apartment on the pretext of getting a jacket for my son Arhaan, as it had got a bit nippy but dint return.Malaika kept calling the phone she was given but there was no answer. When Malaika went to the apartment to check, there was nobody there, Jackin’s phone was lying on the ground and she was nowhere in sight. Malaika panicked. She noticed Jackin’s suitcase was also not there; her passport had been kept with us safely in another bag under lock and key. When she opened the bag she saw Jackin’s passport missing, it soon became evident that Jackin had left. There were valuables and some money too lying in the bag but she stole nothing, all she wanted to do is get away and she had meticulously planned it. My maid is not the first one to vanish in London, apparently even Karisma Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and recently Juhi Chawla also faced a similar situation, each of these maids left without a trace. It obviously seems to be modus operandi of these people to use the opportunity to believe they have a better life in a foreign country, but at what risk. Since Jackin was given a visa because we sponsored her visit, we had to inform the police of the happening. Unfortunately this illegal immigrant situation is rampant in London. We have provided all the necessary details to the authorities, if she ever gets tracked down she will surely be deported, but I guess not before she has worked there long enough and made the money she desired. She was a good worker and took great care of Arhaan as long as she was there.”“Though Malaika and me are upset with what happened we still wish her well and hope she’s safe and happy where ever she is.” Arbaaz concludes.

But finally I’m going home. I can’t wait. I’m tired of living out of suitcases.”Bipasha’s boyfriend John, currently shooting in London will have to wait more for his home to be ready. His family home on Bandra Bandstand has been under renovation for some months now, with no sign of completion yet. Now with John in London until September the work may take longer. “But I’m not worried. My brother is an architect and he’s taking good care of the renovation work,” says John from London with a false bravado.However now that his better half’s home is done John intends to fly back from London periodically to check out the progress with his home. “I’m thinking of coming down for one day every weekend, if that’s possible.
