Nausheen

She is the original Kkusum -- she has a grace and charm that can put even her worst detractors on the backfoot!

Our sources tell us that Nausheen Ali Sardar is all set to stage a comeback to television in a yet to be titled venture by Akshay Anand which will air early next year. Although the actress refuses to comment on the show, we know from a credible source that the show will have Dharmesh Vyas and Akshay Anand in pivotal roles.

"Well, I have only shot the pilot as of now and nothing has been finalised as yet. I won't be able to talk about it till January," says Nausheen, who sounds relaxed and happy, giggling at every given opportunity.

"This rest has helped me a lot -- I have lost weight and am totally refreshed. I needed this break to rejuvinate myself," points out Nausheen.

"I have taken a break and it was fun. I went to Simla and learnt dancing and singing. Now , I am going to Malaysia for AXN's Fear Factor," says the actress.

When we asked her about the show that made her popular, she says -- "The media said that I refused the show because I wanted more money! What rubbish....I had asked for the same amount that I was getting when I left, but due to the fact that they had shifted the show to 7:30 pm there were budget cuts! But I had to stick to what I wanted. But if I look back, Kkusum is one show that I can do all over again!" says Nausheen.

Nausheen plays Esha in her film, Do Dilon ke Khel Mein, which will be ready for release in March 2006!
