Hum Paanch team at war!

Theirs is the oldest family on television. Everyone knows the fabulous rapport shared off-screen by the Hum Paanch team. The 'sisters' bonded when the show first went on air and despite a five-year gap, the trio of Rakhi Tandon, Bhairavi Raichura and Vandana Pathak continued their friendship.

Naturally, they rejoiced when the second season of Hum Paanch bought them together on screen again. Everything was going hunky dory until Phusti (Choti of Hum Paanch) stepped into the original Choti, Priyanka Mehra's shoes. Unfortunately, Phusti was a complete stranger among them, who failed to connect with the trio. "Initially I couldn't understand their sense of humour," says Phusti. "I know that it takes a little time for an outsider to get to know a group of friends and bond with them. However, there were times when I did feel left out as I couldn't understand their style of communication."

Phusti claims that now communication is improving between the on-screen sisters. "This is the fourth schedule and there is a lot of improvement," she says. "We've started understanding each other better. Rakhi, Vandana and Bhairavi have known each for a long time. Obviously it took them some time for them to open up to someone who has only known them for four months."

Industry insiders, however, insist that a cold war is going on between Phusti and the three girls. Apparently it started when Rakhi's hand nudged Pushti, during a scene. An angry Pushti recated by shouting at Rakhi. She calmed down when Rakhi too shouted back that she hadn't touched her purposely, that it was just an accident. "I don't wish to talk about things that happens between actors on the sets," says Rakhi Tandon. However the actress admits that it'll take some time for them to include Pushti in their gang.

Rakhi's on-screen sister and best pal Bhairavi Raichura is more forthcoming about the issue. "Phusti is a nice girl. If she feels left out with us, I don't blame her," she says. "As a gang, we do not like anyone intruding in our privacy. We have our secrets and problems that we do not wish to share with an outsider."

The third prankster Vandana Phathak too feels the same. "Pushti is sweet but hasn't become our friend as yet," she says. "It'll take some time for her to win our trust. If she wants us to be friendly to her she has to learn to lay off and not force herself into our group."

Getting into the inner circle can be quite a pain: Pushti
