THEY are hep and happening. Queens of the soap and role models to millions of young girls. Over the past more than a year, the small picture tube has been virtually invaded by a new set of young ladies who are setting new fashion styles and social trends.
- These young new divas have not just elbowed out the well-known ones but have made them look like the generation past. Much of the credit must go to, who else? Ekta Kapoor, who has introduced a slew of new ladies who have cast a spell on the Indian audience. Stars who were nobodies till a year or so ago but are top of the pops today.
- The good wife is always in a designer saree, complete with sindoor and mangalsutra. But the fiance can wear jeans and a sleeveless or noodles top. At least that is what the small screen seems to be preaching.
1.Shweta Tiwari
She is leading the band is who has attained heady stardom with her role in Kasautii Zindagi Kay. I would say she is bold, good looking ,tall and has immense screen presence. She can dance well and act too and her dialogue deliverance is quite spontaneous. She has all qualities for the leading heroine in Hindi films.
2. Prachi Desai
If purity needed a synonym in today’s Indian television industry, Prachi Desai would be the top challenger. The 17-year-old actress did wonders with her portrayal of Bani in Kasamh Se and is the undisputed number one actress of 2007. Not only did she elevate the character to a new level, but she also became one of the most popular faces in the industry. Desai is Ekta Kapoor’s latest blue-eyed-girl and there is a lot more expected from her in the years to come.
3. Divyanaga
She is a beauty, pretty and lovely in herself, although I am not watching any of her serials but in between when IÂ see her in Saas Bahu aur Sajish, I have become a fan of her. Recently she won best actress award. She embodies innocence in her looks.
4.Pravina
I dont know her off screen name, but she does a fabulous job in Baa Bahu aur Baby. Rcently her character has been killed in the serial, hope she will get resurrection soon. She is witty and her screen presence is immense and colossal.
5.Lubna
She is the Hema Malini look alike of Baa Bahu aur baby. Somehow even when she does overacting, it is not irritating and the way she portrays the character as the eldest bahu she is marvellous.
6.Richa Gujarati
She used to be the bahu of Babhi, recently has character has been given to somebody else. I always used to feel this girl has immense potential, and that has been materialised, it is learnt that she has signed a film with Abjieet Sawant, the Indian Idol. She performs has role quite candidly.
7.Panchi Vohra
She became a bahu very recently in kayamat, but from the very beginning, I had predicted that she will be the Rani Mukherjee of TV and that has really happened. She is sober, beautiful and with no ommps. Very simple and very innocent.
8.Pallavi
This dark girl fares well in Karam Apna Apna. She fully justifies with her role as a daughter from a lower middle class family , but now a bahu of a very rich family.
9.Sangeeta Ghosh
This lady has vivacious screen presence and recently we saw her in Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand which won her a instant fame.
10.Kavita Nagpal
She plays Rakesh Bedis wife in Office Office. Although she is very plump and old enough for the role she play, but still I like the way she enacts her role. She is simply superb.
Readers now you give your choice of bahus in the TV and let us see which bahu wins the most of the vote.

He won gallantry award from Pandit Jawarhal Lal Nehru at the age of 14, but now at the age of 64, he lives the life of an unsung hero in the by-lanes of Chandi Chowk, Old Delhi, India
- An icon at the age of 14 and an insignificant person at 64. This is Harish Chander Mehra, the first gallantry award winner who now lives unsung in the bylanes of Katra Neel in Chandni Chowk.
- The honour was bestowed on him in 1958 by then Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, whose life he had saved. Still then, the awards are now given to children annually on Indian Republic Day and they pass through Rajpath, near India Gate, sitting on an elephant.
- The reminiscences are stamped in Mehra’s heart and the pain of having been elapsed once the short dalliance with famous person’s status died.
- Recollecting the incident Mehra quoted “On October 2, 1957 evening, during the Ram Lila celebrations in Old Delhi’s Ramlila Ground, Nehru along with his daughter, Indira Gandhi and some foreign delegates was watching the fireworks that preceded the function. Suddenly, some sparks fell on the tent in which they were sitting and it caught fire.”
- The congested place had people running haphazardly to accumulate their lives. Mehra, then a boy scout, was standing at the entrance hall of the pergola. He entered the flaming tent and ran near Nehru and instantaneously pulled him in the direction of the dais. In a fraction of seconds, he climbed on to one of the poles, pulled out the scouts’ knife and cut off the burning tent. In the scuffle, Mehra’s hands got rigorously blistered and he gone unconscious.
- Mehra was presented with a certificate on the nexdt morning by Minister Jagjivanram. After three months, while studying in Class 8, his Principal, Tej Bhan Sethi entered the classroom and took the dazed child to the string of media persons and photographers waiting for him on the school grounds.
- In the same year,The following year, a special programme was organised to honour Mehra and he was presented the Gallantry Award by Nehru at Teen Murti Bhawan.
“Nehru had said that I needed no introduction, as he was himself an eyewitness to the whole account. He said it would be better if we could have more children of undoubted courage,” says the shuddering Mehra.
- Newspapers published Mehra’s profiles and interviews. A documentary film was made followed by an invitation to participate in the Republic Day parade held on January 26, 1959. A civilian boy was made to lead the parade for the first time. Five years later, due to economic crisis, Mehra had to quit studies. He took up a job as Lower Divisions Clerk in Union Public Service Commission.
- After few years he was transferred to the Controller of Publications with no incentive and promotion. He retired from there on February 27, 2004.Apart from the populace in close proximity to him, no one ever since remembered Mehra. Every year, Mehra sits with his three sons and four grandchildren to gaze at the Republic Day parade on TV. The award winning children surpass all the way through Rajpath, memoirs draw closer once again for Mr Mehra.

Security cameras caught a strange case of child abuse in a car wash bay at the Magical Car Wash in Orlando. They show a woman spraying a toddler with a high pressure hose while another woman watches. The footage shows the toddler attempt to run away, but she is grabbed and pinned to the wall as she is prayed on the legs, back and even her face. The manager of the car wash didn’t see the abuse until she watched the footage, but she did hear the little girl crying after the incident. She alas heard the woman state, “You’re going to learn to respect me. You don’t treat me bad. You don’t mistreat me; I’m your mother.” Footage also shows the girl being stripped naked, while the two women grabbed a towel and put her back in the car. Once investigators locate the women, they said the mother will likely face child abuse charges.
While I certainly agree that this hose would not be sufficient to do permanent harm to the kid’s skin, it is still certainly strong enough to cause a very high level of pain at that range, much more than a child that age should endure. Children feel pain much more intensely than adults do.

Serial kisser Emran Hashmi reported to have got infuriated on the stages of Star Plus Chotte Ustad. While he has giving performance along with the host and the contests of the show, a lady from the viewers gallery came up on the stage and kissed him. Although everybody in the first instance enjoyed on what was really happening, but the Judge of the show Pritam got enraged and asked the lady who is she really? But there seemed to be no rejoinder on the lady’s expression and she unrelentingly sat on her seat chewing a gum. Can’t forecast anything, as to whether the scene had taken place routinely or the lady was remunerated to do the action for attainment of TRP for the show. The episode will be telecasted on Saturday the 1st March, 2008.
Kazauti Zindaki Ki, Star Plus has finally bid good bye, after running over 7 years, the last episode to be telecast on 28th February,2008. The main leading characters, i.e. Anuraj Basu, Prerna and Komilika are dead and Mr Bajaj has gone mad in the love of Prerna. Prem’s originsl wife Palchim is also dead and he is back with his first love Devki. So with that, the long exaggerated and melodramatic KZK has gone with the wind.
The characters Kumkum and Sumit of serial Kumkum in Star Plus is also dead and they will appear as another character in the reincarnation later. So with that the love scenes flanked by Kumkum and Sumit will also be halted.
The host of weekly show Kaho Na Yaar He in Star Plus is changed from Karn Patel to Aditya Narayan. This is likely to improve the TRP of the show as Aditya has much screen presence than the earlier host Karen.

If tax figures are to be believed, King Khan is a bigger king of the marketing world too.
 
A major share of his advance tax money has gone into paying for his income from endorsing a swerve of products and other sources, which is a whopping amount of Rs.270 million. Sources in the advertising agency for which the superstar has worked divulged that his income from endorsements fetches him Rs.1.5 billion ($38 million) a year, the highest for any Indian advertising “model”.
Amitabh Bachchan does more endorsement that King Khan, but his annual endorsements do not cross Rs.1.2 billion.
King Khan will continue to hold this position for more years as he has a strong threshold in the Bollywood compared to many others stars as there is no one yet who can opponent his magnetism.
In the current fiscal, his earnings from this source may go a little above Rs.1.5 billion as he has been made brand ambassador of more products - and more are waiting, the sources added. His movie does not fetch him more than 50-60 million per film.
A big large piece of his income from outside Bollywood in the current year also accrued from hosting STAR Plus’ “Kaun Banega Crorepati” quiz series for which he received Rs.10 million per episode.
King Khan received a profit of Rs. 400 million on his home production Om Shanthi Om when he sold the right to Eros International for whopping Rs. 750 million whereas his original expenditure was only Rs. 350 million. Rs. 50 million was the fees which he gave himself for working as hero in that movie, which is not included in the profit of accounts.
King Khan does not augment his fees unlike his contenders. It is implicit that he is not avaricious on this part. Even though his latest movie OSO is a super duper hit, he does not intend to increase his fees. That’s the star excellence he has, and that’s why he is victorious.
“Shah Rukh chooses his movies carefully. First, the subject matter must appeal to him and, if it does, his opting to star in the movie would largely depend on the credibility and antecedents of the producer and the director,â€said an executive of the star’s production banner, Red Chillies Production.
In disparity, Shah Rukh behaves like a ’star’ when he shoots for TV commercials. There he refuses to negotiation on anything, particularly on his price. “Why should I compromise? TV commercials are what they are – commercials, laments the Badshah
“Had the industry not put me in a position where I am today, would the companies have chosen me to be their brand ambassadors?” he asks.
Is King Khan, then, robbing Peter to pay Paul? As one advertising agency executive put it: “He is, but his breaking and entering seem like a communal deal.”Â

When you Watch TV Online does it make sense? It seems that more and more people are watching they’re TV online. If they’re not doing it front of they’re computer they have an Apple TV or TIVO box which they are pulling content off the Internet instead of the airwaves. This trend has a demand that even the broadcast networks are responding to. TV networks are now allowing you to watch your favorite TV shows on the web with short commercials. Apple has come out with Apple TV which lets you download video content from the iTunes stores and other internet sources. YouTube generates short videos that are watched by millions of viewers a day. The entire landscape of what is “TV” has been turned on it’s head.
