article'Jay with his behen

Varun Badola on Alka Kaushal A lka is six years older than me, so she has always been the dominant one in our relationship. She would always be the 'big sister' I had to look up to. When we were kids we would relish every scolding the other one would get. It was the typical broth- er-sister squabbles. But as we grew older our equations changed. She has been with me through thick and thin and she's been a strong support always. And being part of the same industry we under- stand each other well, though we have never worked together. I think just being together and caring for each other is far more important than doing anything extraordinary . Kabir Sadanand on Kunika Sadanand Lal K unika follows each and every ritual and tradi- tion religiously . She will insist on cele- brating special days like raksha bandhan and I keep arguing with her that we don't need a particular day to show our love for one another. She also makes sure that my daughter ties rakhi to her son. It's not that I don't cher- ish these days but nowadays everything has become so consumerist that the real charm is lost. The values associated with the day are non-existent.. I call it the American rakhi or the capitalist rakhi as it's sent via e-mail. On the work front, I have directed Kunika's video and while shooting she was merely an actor for me. My professional behaviour sur- prised her. Hetal Nanda on Jay Bhanushali I was expecting Jay to change drastically after he became pop- ular but he hasn't changed a bit. He makes it a point to drop by my place whenever he gets time off. He is very fond of my kids and my 2-year-old son is adores him. He has suddenly become the topic of discussion amongst my friends and at times I feel left out because they can't stop discussing him. The one thing about him that irks me the most is his eating habit. He's very fussy about the food he eats. He relishes spicy food and is particularly fond of cheese. I keep telling him to eat more healthy stuff but he just doesn't listen
