Soon joining the bandwagon of sequels on TV is Sachin Pilgaonkar's Tu Tu Main Main. But this time around the second season will be aired on Star One and the tracks will include Sachin-Supriya's two sons, be played by Ali Asgar (Kamal of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki fame) and Swapnil Joshi (Krishna of Mahabharata fame).

"Tu Tu Main Main is one comedy show which has gelled very well with the audience in the past. Sachin has his own standard of making such shows. I would do anything for Sachin as working with him is like a paid vacation. Besides, I love doing comedies. Swapnil and myself play Supriya's sons.," chirps Ali who has earlier worked with Sachin in Star Plus' Rin Ek Do Teen and SAB's Pratishodh.

There's more good news for Ali, his wife is expecting their second child soon this month.
"We want a healthy child and have no such preferences as such. But my mother wants a baby girl," smiles the actor who has a two and a half year old son.

When contacted the producer and director of the show, Sachin Pilgaonkar says, "It's too early to talk about the show. Give me some more time and I will get back to you with more information."

The rest of the cast, namely Reema Lagoo, Supriya Pilgaonkar and Mahesh Thakur have been retained. The actors will begin shooting in October and this weekly, targeted for a primetime slot, is expected to be launched by the end of next month.

Will the sequel of Tu Tu...manage to tickle our funny bone the same way as it's original version? We hope it does!

Mumbai - a city of dreams, a city that never sleeps!

People from different parts of the country find this commercial capital a beckoning temptress of hope, and thus they choose to settle here to make a living!

Prashant Golecha speaks to few TV stars who left their hometowns and moved to Mumbai for the realization of their dreams!

Ritu Raj Singh- (hails from Delhi)

Delhi was my youth and home; I did my graduation from there. That was the time I also did Tol Mol Ke Bol (Zee) from the capital. Next, I got offers from Mumbai, so I came here and never went back! Delhi is what it is because of our government and parliament is based there. When I came here I had no contacts initially and with time I fell in love with this city. I love the experience of living near the sea. How efficiently people work here makes the Mumbai move at a faster pace. It accepts people from day one. The city pays you back for your efforts. Merit is taken care of and you get your due sooner or later.

Juhi Parmar- (hails from Jaipur)

I was born to be an actress so I was prepared for everything when I came down to Mumbai. I have been here since the last eight years and now it feels like home, though initially I felt like a stranger. There is a vast cultural gap between Mumbai and Jaipur. Life is slow and easy going in my hometown. People get up late and then go to work all the more late! Whereas here a day starts at 6 am and ends at 2 am! Mumbai is a safe city to settle, it provides far more and better opportunities than any other city and the night life rocks! It's the ultimate city of dreams, be it acting or any other field. Also people here give you space. But what is most amazing is the spirit of Mumbai, which perks you up. Look at the floods and bomb blast incidents, the city recovers very fast. Except for the sad roads and congested traffic, Mumbai is perfect!

Sandeep Rajora- (hails from Delhi)

I did my schooling in Delhi, my MBA from Pune - so you can say I grew up in different cities. Here in Mumbai, professionalism is in the air! From the time you step down from a train, from a coolie to the autowala, everyone is a pro when it comes to their personality and attitude. People here are more bothered about work and time - they strictly mean business! Comparatively Delhiites and Puneites are warmer. Mumbai is all about vigour, charisma and opportunities - where one can do whatever and whenever, and kicks me big time. What surprises me in Mumbai is that local trains are always on time! But in my opinion one can life a satisfactory and peaceful life only in a smaller city.

Nattasha Rana - (hails from Jallandhar)
Mumbai is a dream city, an ocean where one can get in abundance. Here you get ample opportunities and loads of independence. It is also the hub of entertainment as it values talent. Opportunities can knock at you're door anytime, but one needs to work hard and have the right attitude. It's a fair city, which provides equal opportunities to women in all the fields. Hard work when combines with luck it spells success here. The spirit of Mumbai is unbreakable. People are very accommodating here. Though, bad roads and traffic is surely an issue.

Aashka Goradia- (hails from Ahemdabad)

My family is still settled in Ahmedabad and I do visit them on and off. I prefer being in Mumbai as one can do a lot here and be an achiever. This city has given me a lot and I can't think of living any where else now. Here the food joints are up till 4 am but in my hometown there is no life after 10 pm. The best thing about Mumbaiites is that they are not myopic. The only hitch is that the people here can be over practical and over calculative at times. But I have also found a few genuine people who shower me with their warmth.

Once upon a time Shweta Kwaatra was pegged as Ekta Kapoor's lucky mascot. She played Esha in Sony's Kkusum and as Pallavi in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, the actor mesmerized the telly junta with her vampish charm. Who can forget her freeze frame evil act with flared nostrils, arched eyebrows, coupled with a wicked nasal laugh, as she around making life hell for Parvati bhabhi.

But later Shweta had a fallout with Ekta (on monetary issues as speculated or was it something else) and thus opted to bid adieu to the Balaji shows. Though for a long time there was a talk of Shweta coming back in Kahaani, but somehow she never did. In fact she totally stayed away from the saas bahu sagas on the small screen.

But now it seems it's patch up time for both the ladies! Our sources reveal that Shweta has been approached to play Mr. Bajaj's (Ronit Roy) new wife in Kasauti Zindagi Kay. For those uninitiated, Ronit's track has been missing in the post leap phase of the show, and news is that he will soon re-enter, bringing in a major twist in the tale.

When contacted, Shweta (who is busy with the Naach Baliye 2 rehearsals with hubby Manav Gohil) was a bit reluctant to divulge the details. But she disclosed, "Yes I have been approached for Kasauti…..and I am seriously considering the offer."

Shweta has recently made a statement in a newspaper that she is very much open to substantial roles and that her talent is being wasted sitting at home. This model turned actor has currently two shows on air - Current Bollywood on Sony Max and Sohni Mahiwal on DD1, and is looking forward to flaunt her dancing skills on NB 2.

Will Shweta reconcile with Balaji? If so, it will not only mark a good spell for her career but will also infuse a new life in the show!

There are times in all our lives, when we desire the need for divine intervention; times, when life refuses to acknowledge the seemingly obvious and decides to take refuge in a world that is far away from ours. A world that gives the body and mind the spiritual healing that it yearns for. We, at Telly Chakkar.com decided to delve deeper into the lives of our favourite stars and know a little about their lives beyond the obvious.

Veteran TV and stage actor Rituraj Singh who currently has K Street Pali Hill, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki and Ek Ladki Anjani Si on his plate, is quite a spiritual man off screen.

He religiously practices the surya namaskaar (paying respect to the Sun God at sunrise) and is a firm believer of the cosmic power and cycle of karma!

Anil Merani engages in a soul enriching conversation with this 42 year old Suryavanshi Rajput.

God is not a person but cosmic power
God pervades everywhere and is in every living being, be it humans, plants or animals.
Whatever we do or think, is all at the command of this power, but these instructions are not arbitrary. Have we ever questioned as to what power or battery is there, that gives genesis to a human being or what causes the seasons to change, what keep the planets in their orbit around the sun? All these natural phenomenas are also controlled by the cosmic power.

Karmic accounts of our previous life dictates our present
It's karma that decides what we get in our current lives. That explains why some people are born healthy while others die at birth. The world is a very unfair place to be. One sees injustice all around and are helpless about it. I believe that our karmic account either allows us to learn from our mistakes or condemns us if we repeat them. This could be the reason why human beings never learn from history and keep committing the same blunders over and over again while there are people who reach great heights despite all odds.

There is divine purpose for whatever happens
Be it good for bad, everything happens for a reason, which is meant for our well being. Actually I started believing in this theory because of my own experience. When I was young, two drastic events occurred which changed my perspective. It forced me to admit that there are things which are beyond human control.

My faith in surya namaskaar
I worship the Sun God every morning. This pooja was taught to me by a person from my past life in my dream. Whenever I practice this ritual for about 10 seconds I feel uplifted, as if I am on top of the world. It lightens my day and brings equilibrium in my life. So, I try not to overreact or go to any extremes in any given situation. I don't feel too happy by positive events or saddened by bad incidents.

Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki is following Kyunki's footsteps and is getting ready for yet another leap. This decision allegedly was taken after Ekta Kapoor felt that the shows Nach Baliye and Betiyan could pose as serious threats to her serial. Although everyone is talking about the leap, no one wants to admit it in print yet.

"It's better if you ask the creative heads. They are the right people to answer your queries,'' says actress Tina Parekh who plays Shruti when quizzed about the leap. Actress Achint Kaur too feigned ignorance. "We haven't been informed about it yet and I am not sure about the news, so I can't comment on it. It would be better if you get in touch with the production house", she said. This is exactly how the Kahin to Hoga gang acted when they were first asked about their leap, which will take place in the coming months.

So we decided to get in touch with the people who work behind the scenes. "I am not handling the show. So I don't know anything about it. You have to ask the creative head Meetu," said Balaji chief creative head Nivedita Basu. "I can't make any comments about a leap. I will have to consult Ekta before I make any comments,'' said Meetu. The lady seemed too scared to confirm things without getting the green signal from her boss.

Ekta Kapoor on the other hand was unavailable for comment. Rumour has it that Ekta is all set to revamp the show, but is still uncertain about the track. Moreover the non-moving story of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki can get interesting only by taking a leap. There is no other rational twist and turn left for the soap to explore.
