Prachi Desai Prachi Desai I wouldn't want to get married on Valentine's Day, as it would be a complete waste! Instead, I would choose a date closer to V-day so that I have more than just one day to celebrate. Rakshanda Khan Rakshanda Khan I wouldn't really wait for Valentine's Day. I think the day I get married to my man will be the most special day of my life. Why wait till February 14 to do that? Shveta Salve Shveta Salve I have no problems with others getting married on Valentine's Day as I think it's a great day to tie the knot. But personally, I wouldn't wait for a specific day to come to get married. Riva Bubber Riva Bubber I would love to get married on V-day. I think the idea is quite romantic! Kushal Punjabi Kushal Punjabi Well, it is the day of love, so I would definitely love to settle down with that special someone on Valentine's Day. Eijaz Khan Eijaz Khan I think we should ban Valentine's Day. We don't need phirangs to tell us which day to profess love to one another.

Valentine's Day is a day of and for lovers - an occasion when affection, love, care, fondness….is openly exhibited. But what about those individuals who harbour reverse feelings for someone, who just can't get along with each other?

Let's have look at those television celebs who simply aren't eligible to go on a date on V-Day!

Shweta Tiwari - Ronit Roy:

This hit on screen jodi, in spite of being associated with each other since donkey's years for Kasautii…., have mostly made news for their squabbles off screen. Shweta and Ronit have locked horns on many an issues. For instance, during a holi scene Roy stuffed her mouth and ears with gulal and a vexed Shweta pushed him. There have also been times when she was made to wait for hours till Ronit rehearsed. And so all the credit goes to their acting skills due to which this duo can conceal their real life not-so-happening chemistry.

Rajeev Khandelwal - Ekta Kapoor

He was the best thing to have happened to Balaji Telefilms almost three years back. And the effect was vice-versa. Overnight Rajeev became a sensation and his show Kahin To Hoga enjoyed a good spell at the TRPs. But then, started the constant clashes due to his interference with the script, especially the way his character was shaping up. But Ekta being Ekta, did not budge and showed Rajeev the door. Result: Casualty to his stardom and the show's ratings! Now with Rajeev trying to get into her camp by giving statements, "I don't mind working with Ekta", you never know if his status of being Ekta's blue-eyed-boy will be retrieved.

Eijaz Khan - Sanjeeda

Known for his reserved temperament, Eijaz shared cold vibes with his co-actor Sanjeeda during the days of Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka. He's even stormed out of the sets when Sanjeeda got officious during his rehearsals. In fact, Khan went on record to quote, "I wouldn't like to comment on unimportant people and unimportant issues." But now as the only link (Nimmo) that bonded them is no longer in being, Eijaz and Sanjeeda are breathing easy.

Aamna Shariff - Gurpreet Singh

Imagine being accused of ruining someone's career! Yes, gossip mills have been churning tales that Gurpreet (Sujal - Part 2 of Kahin To Hoga) impeached his co-star Aamna with this blame. On the other hand, insiders believe that Aamna couldn't stand him for replacing Rajeev (her original Sujal). So fireworks were bound to happen. But now as its curtains for this long running show, we doubt if we'll ever get to see this pairing on screen again!

Bobby Darling - Salil Ankola

Now this is a casting coup of sorts. If one has been following Sony's Bigg Boss, it can be recalled how Bobby was snubbed by the handsome Ankola for his gender. Not only was this 'woman trapped in the man's body' royally ignored by Salil, Bobby was also hurled with sarcastic remarks! And what happened next was the very obvious melodrama by Bobby which didn't last long as Salil soon had to leave BB due to his contractual commitments. One wonders, if his stay had been prolonged, this friction would have definitely set the BB's house on fire!

Catch Captain Rajveer crack the code tonight!

The serial Left Right Left portrays the pre-NDA Academy set-up that lays the foundation of truth, honesty and solidarity amongst the cadets and prepares these youngsters to dawn the responsibility of future armed forces. Words like betrayal, deception and treason are forbidden at the Kanchenjunga Military Academy. But when a spy enters the academy in disguise, things are pretty different. He wins the trust of all and then betrays them, thus betraying his motherland. Speaking about his role in this serial, protagonist, Rajeev Khandelwal states, "This is very different from the romantic roles I've played earlier. Though I come from an army background, I've done my fair share of homework. It helps me deliver better on the sets and gives my character that extra edge."
Going by the storyline, Captain Rajveer visits KMA on a secret mission to uncover the identity of the spy. Suspects like Huda, Naina and Ali are under the scanner. Suddenly, Colonel Shakti Chandra pays a surprise visit to the academy. Satisfied with the security measures adapted by Captain Rajveer, he leaves for the Head Office. Later Capt. Rajveer receives a phone call from the Col. Shakti Chandra about the activity that has been spotted in the nuclear trigger room. Meanwhile Rajveer has also misplaced the swipe card that will lead him to the trigger room, or the spy may have stolen it!
Discussing the concept of the show, producer-director, Tony and Deeya Singh quote, "The uniqueness of the show is — it depicts real life situations faced in the pre-NDA Academy. Spies and agents are bound to find their way through in a place where national security is topmost priority. But the determination to fight such anti social elements like these only gives a boost to the patriotic feeling. We wanted to portray a similar situation in reel life."
Priya Mishra, Programming Head, SAB, shares, "Left Right Left has always had a storyline with a lot of twists and turns and had managed to capture the interest of the audience for the same reasons. The suspense built around the plot to uncover the spy will get the audience thinking. Rather, the excitement only soars as we come closer towards solving the mystery of the spy."
Aired on Mondays, catch the spy being revealed today on Left Right Left at 9.30 pm on SAB.

WHO IS IT? Is it Priyanka Bassi or Shveta Salve, wonders Rajeev Khandelwal

V-day, celeb style

Celebrities too shy away from attaching the Valentine tag to their celebrations. But it may not have anything to do with the Sena wrath. Some just do not like to be seen as someone who believes in Valentine's Day celebrations, while few others want to keep the identity of their dates under wraps.

Heartthrob of the millions, TV actor Rajeev Khandelwal, currently seen as Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat in Left Right Left, will have no dearth of admirers but he does not have anyone special to romance with. "Honestly I am not a very V-day kind of guy. Even when I was dating someone (won't disclose name) I did not do anything overtly special, except for giving her flowers. But I have no issues with others celebrating the day. For me, it's like any other day. Rajeev will spend the day replying to his fan mails.

His co star Arjun Bijlani (Alekh in Left Right Left) said he would be working and later take his mother out for dinner; hard to believe on the last one. He has no dearth of female fans gunning for him though. "They write sweet messages to me. And I am really touched by their words. But I do not have any specific plan for the V-day, as I am not seeing anyone," he replies shyly.
