If Sandeep Rajora is known for his stinginess, he has company in Ami Trivedi, the perky Kittu of SaharaOne's Kittu Sab Jaanti Hai. According to reliable sources on the sets, Ami has been spotted in a pair of worn out and torn chappals for the past one month without even getting it mended.

Another interesting story doing the rounds is she freely uses cosmetics and toiletries from her co-star's personal vanity bags to dab on herself. Considering she is playing the title role in the serial and lead actors of television industry are known to get a fairly good amount as remuneration, we find Ami's behaviour rather surprising.

Now, come on Ami, we know you are a generous gal, don't take so much
time to show it!

Best foot forward

A friend in need is a friend indeed! And Aparna Tilak amply proved this to her dear friend Shveta Salve recently while shooting for the military academy based serial, Left Right Left (SAB TV), in which she essays the role of Dr.Shalini Singhal, a jovial and fun-loving medico.

A terrorist attack was being picturised on the outdoor sets of this show, replete with a bomb explosion where everyone had to run helter-skelter and Rajeev Khandelwal was supposed to do a superman dive to save Shveta, who plays Dr. Ritu Mishra, a psychologist in the show. "In the milieu, both of us fell down and the huge kada on my right hand hurt my wrist. Fortunately it was just a ligament tear that got healed with a wrist support I wore for a few days," says Shveta, who is all excited about grooving in Sony's dance show, Jhalak Dikhla Ja. The svelte actress is used to doing her own stunts as she reveals, "For an episode in CID (Sony) I performed a 100ft jump, of course with suspensions."

When she fell, the cast and crew jokingly called out to Dr.Shalini (that is Aparna Tilak) to attend the patient. But Aparna took it seriously and quickly responded by helping out her co-star and best friend. "As soon as she saw the swelling on my wrist, she perfunctorily acted doctor on the sets and kept an ice-pack and sprayed a medication", informs Shveta. Incidentally, Aparna's husband is a doctor and so her acquired first-aid knowledge came in handy.

Now that's some sort of a remarkable deed of putting your knowledge instinctively into action!

REVEALED:Kituu's secret past

Sab nahin jaante ki Ami Trivedi was in a relationship for four years

Before Manish Goswami's show Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai went on air, Ami Trivedi (who plays Kituu in Shahara One's Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai) was dating Yogesh Pagare (known as Yogi) for nearly four years. Yogi works with Ram Gopal Varma these days.

Gujju connection
28-year-old Yogi first met Ami during her theatre days. The couple acted together in a Gujarati play called Gujju Bhaiye Gaam Gajavyu. Yogi has also acted in serials like Hip Hip Hooray, Star Best Sellers, Aahat, Rishtey and X Zone among others, but later shifted his focus to writing and direction. He was also seen in Ekta Kapoor's Kyunki Saas... as Sejal's brother-in-law. The grapevine is that he is ready with a script that Prawal Raman (Darna Mana Hai, Gayab) is supposed to direct for Ramu, and is waiting for the go-ahead signal.
Sources say, "Once Kituu... went on air, Ami started behaving differently with Yogi. Both were very serious about each other. But they don't wash their linen in public, so the reasons for their differences and the consequent split were never known."

We're not friends
When contacted, Yogi was hesitant to talk about his past. He later admitted, "Ami and I were in a relationship for more than three years. It's over now, we've gone our different ways."
As for the reason for their break-up, Yogi said, "We've both moved on in life. Let's not look back. Ami is a closed chapter in my life. I will not say that we are still good friends. We are not in touch."

On the other hand, Ami said, "Yogi and I were seeing each other. To be honest, Yogi has been the only guy in my life so far. I would not like to elaborate on what went wrong. Simply put, things didn't work out between us."

Workaholic
On the professional front, Ami is so busy with Kituu... that she cannot think of any other assignment. "I am shooting virtually thirty days in a month," says Ami, a science graduate. At one point, Ami had aspired to be a doctor. Things changed when she began doing Gujarati theatre. Her father is well-known theatre actor, Tushar Trivedi, who has been involved in Gujarati plays for over 20 years. Her brother, Karan Trivedi, is also into theatre.

Tarun Khanna, who plays a key role in Kittu Sab Janti Hain on Sahara One, and who had told to Tellychakkar.com on 24 August that he was considering quitting the show, has tendered an apology to his producer Siddhant Cinevision's Manish Goswami.

Speaking to tellychakkar.com late 25 August evening even as the unit of Kittu was celebrating 200 episodes of the show in a suburban club, Khanna said: "I am apologizing unconditionally to Mr Manish Goswami for any grief or pain I might have caused to him by talking about Kittu..."

He added that he would like to continue to be a part of Kittu should Manishji and the channel require him. He said: "Manishji has been a very dear friend I have done four projects with him .. a pilot…Kitty Party, Sarrkar and then Kittu…The relationship has been very hunky dory so far and I would like it to be that way in the future too. I respect him greatly. He is like an elder brother to me and he can be angry with me. But like an elder brother he should forgive."

Mr Goswami are you listening?
