NOW

THEN

Riteish Deshmukh

Aapla Riteish, one of the last few clean-shaven guys around, is extinct. Say Hi! to the all-new fuzzy-haired Riteish, who looks quite unseemly with all that facial hair.

Dare we say, he's looking quite shabby with that new look.

Come on Riteish, humour us and get to work with that razor you've kept locked up somewhere.

Neha se Nehaa tak

Nehaa Mehtaa

Joining the ranks of her fellow telly actors is Mamta's (Zee) Neha Mehta.

Previously spelling her name with a single A, the actress has now added two extra alphabets to her name.

A certain astrologer told her that adding an A to her name would get her loads of fame, success and money.

So now Neha is known as Nehaa Mehtaa. Here's hoping adding an A takes her to the A-list of actors on the small screen.

Shady characters

Zayed Khan

The Fight Club cast with their caps and matching shades, aren't a motley bunch you'd miss easily.

While Sohail Khan uses his head to promote the film, (rem his Fight Club topi?) These guys prefer their shades.

We love our shades too but indoors? A bit much, don't you think?

Eijaz is awestruck

Eijaz Khan

Not many know that Eijaz Khan (Kavya of Kavyanjali) has a nickname. While some call him Eiju, most of his co-stars and those who know him well refer to him as 'strucks'.

Now that's definitely a first time that we heard of such an uncommon nickname. Wonder how he got it ? Apparently one day Eijaz went out shopping with a friend who was with another lady friend.

The actor known for his chivalrousness when it comes to the girls, made the lady so comfortable throughout the shopping, that she apparently was awestruck by his behaviour. From that day onwards Eijaz started being called strucks on Kavyanjali's sets. We wonder how come it never struck us that Khan could be such a gentleman?

Abhijeet turns the write corner

Abhijeet Sawant and Sonu Nigam

The book 'Aapka Abhijeet' by Abhijeet Sawant was launched in two languages English and Hindi, a couple of days ago at a leading bookstore.

Sonu Nigam, who has been one of the major influences in Abhijeet's life, launched the book. He said, "This book is an inspiration for many others like Abhijeet."

The sensitively written Aapka Abhijeet brings to life a lonely childhood spent in a passion for cricket. It's rife with humour; the family's annual TV ritual of watching beaming merit toppers of the board exams, his parents' fantastic academic expectations from a son who falls ill at the very mention of exams, and many such anecdotes. Idol first, and an author now, what next, Abhijeet?

Q. What would you call Harry Baweja if you see him in soiled clothes?

A. 'Dirty' Harry.
