Barun Sobti set to romance Suzanna Mukherjee in Kolkata

The newcomer's innocent smile prompted director Mitali Ghoshal to cast her opposite the TV heartthrob

The cat is out of the bag. BarunSobti fans, who have long been speculating who their fave hero would romance on the big screen, can now rest their case. Newcomer SuzannaMukherjee has bagged the role in MitaliGhoshal's 22 Yards. The girl will start shooting from August 20 in Kolkata. 

"She plays a Bengali girl, Shonali, who is a sports

journalist. Though I auditioned a lot of girls, what struck me about Suzanna was her innocent smile," said Mitali.

Suzanna was earlier part of Bolly flick TutiyaDil and her projects on the small screen include Roadies, Roomie and Emotional Atyachaar. "Till the second round of the auditions, I didn't know about Barun. After hearing about him, I looked up the net and saw episodes ofIssPyaarKoKyaNaamDoon? He came across as very good-looking. Also, everybody in my family watches TV and knew who he was. I metBarun for a few workshops in Mumbai and liked his work. As a person, he is very simple. Despite being so popular, he isn't fussy," she said.

Though born to a Bengali father and a Ukrainian mother, Suzanna is nervous about playing a Bengali girl. "The character is very different from what I am in real life," said Suzanna.

Avinash and Shrenu in Iss Pyaar Ko...Season 2?

Lovebirds Rubina Dilaik and Avinash Sachdeva seem to be charting the same course professionally as well.
While Rubina was seen in the second season of Punarvivaah --- Ek Nayi Umeed, boyfriend Avinash is all set to feature in the second season of popular telly show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? on Star Plus.
He will be paired with Shrenu Parikh, last seen inByaah Hamaari Bahoo Ka. The first season of the show, featuring Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani, had become quite popular along with the lead pair. But after Barun quit, it ended immediately.
Says a source, "Season one was popular, so it is only logical to cash in on the brand. The new season, which will launch soon, will have the same title with a tag line --- Ek Baar Phir." Barun Sobti, popularly known as Arnav, said, "Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon was one show that was loved by one and all, I was lucky to be a part of the show and have very fond memories of the year and a half that I shot for it. I hope the second season does well."

Barun Sobti reveals his birthday plans

Barun Sobti, who became a small screen sensation and created a frenzy as Arnav Singh Raizada in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, reveals his birthday plans.

Barun will be shooting in Kolkata from August 18 for the second schedule of his Bolly movie 22 Yards. We asked him if that meant that he would celebrate his birthday (August 21) in Kolkata, he said, "No I am taking off for two days from the schedule. We haven't planned anything, but I and my wife Pashmeen might go somewhere for a quiet, small trip. The location is still undecided."

When told that his birthday was trending on Twitter (10 days before the actual day) courtesy his huge female followers, he said, "I am just thankful to them. I have not been seen on the screen for a long time now. I am glad that people have kept me in their mind. I hope to surprise them with the kind of work I am doing."

Well Barun, here's wishing you a very happy birthday in advance!

Shaleen-Daljeet expecting their first child

Actress Daljeet Kaur has been missing from the tube for a while now. Wonder why? The actress, who tied the knot with Shaleen Bhanot (her co-actor in Kulvaddhu) on December 9, 2009, is expecting their first child. The baby is due the same month this year.

Says Daljeet, "I couldn't have asked for a better timing; everyone's really excited. We have been doing up our house and are shopping for babies' items in blue and pink. While Shaleen wants a girl, I wish to have a son. But the bottomline is, we are both praying for a healthy baby."

The actress says she is in no hurry to return to acting. "I had almost signed up for a show, but things didn't materialise and, the next month, I conceived. Maybe, that was God's intervention. I want to enjoy motherhood and there is no hurry to return to acting," says she.

Drashti gets a "Pretty Admirer" on Jhalak!

Who says two actresses can’t be friends? Drashti Dhami and Sanaya Irani, two of television’s hottest and most popular actresses, recently proved that actresses, atleast those on television, can cheer each other on and want each other to succeed. 

In the coming ‘Item’ week of Jhalak, Sanaya Irani will grace the Jhalak sets to check out the action on the sets and cheer on her friend Drashti. Though there are other TV stars like Sidharth Shukla, Karanvir Bohra and Sana Saeed (she has worked in 2 shows on TV), Sanaya will be seen singling out Drashti and cheering her on. 

Sanaya Irani will witness Drashti’s ‘item’ performance on the song ‘Tumse Mili Nazar’, and along with the judges, she’ll definitely be impressed by Drashti’s killer moves. With all the dancing going on around her, we can imagine how difficult for Sanaya to resist shaking a leg, and so the Jhalak stage will see the two reigning divas of television shake a leg together. 

This is not the first time that Sanaya has come to the Jhalak stage. Remember the Grand Premiere night of Jhalak when Sanaya danced with Manish on ‘Tumse Milke Dil Ka Hai Jo Haal’, and then broke his heart by announcing that Kapil was his co-anchor, and not her? Looks like she really enjoyed her experience the last time around, and this was what brought her back to the Jhalak stage, this time in Drashti’s support.

After Vivian DSena and his real life Madhubala Vahbbiz Dorabjee, now it’s time for Drashti to get more support from telly land, this time in the form of Sanaya. So even thought it would be great to see Sanaya support Drashti, the other contestants better watch out!
