Palampur Express - Mansion

Let's start with your Kannada films first. What's happening there for you?

But why Kannada films?

Doing a film in a different language must be a Herculean task. How do you manage to get the expressions and cross the language barrier?

Coming to Hindi cinema, a whole lot of young actors like you have become very choosy about the films they do. What according to you is the right film for you?

It's quite frustrating to hear 35 scripts and not sign even one. What keeps you going?

I'd be lying if I say that it's not frustrating. But I have gone through a whole lot of ups and downs. Ups for being launched by Rajshri, downs when the film didn't do well and the offers were not the right ones. But I do understand the stakes here which are huge. What keeps me going is the strength of believing in myself.

The 2008 Miss India Worldwide pageant started on February 18, 2008. The final round was held on February 23, 2008 at the Trade Route Convention Centre in Gauteng, South Africa.

Let's put our hands together for India's first miss India World wide, Shagun Sarabhai.She won the crown at Johannesburg on the 23rd OF FEB 2008 in the 17th year of the Pageant.

ANOTHER FEATHER IN OUR CAP!

Shagun Sarabhai, a 20-year-old Mumbai homeopathy student who was crowned Miss India Worldwide at a gala banquet in Johannesburg in the early hours of Sunday morning. shagun had beat contestants from 17 other countries, the panel of judges rated their talent, dress sense in Eastern and Western wear, and answers to questions. Miss India Canada, Uppeka Jain, 24, was the first princes and SabihaHussain, 21, from the host country, was crowned second princess.

Shagun was very excited and said, "If offers come my way from Bollywood, I'm going to accept them, yes, but I'm also studying medicine and I'll definitely try to blend both," the winner said.

"It was a little harder for me because I arrived a bit later, but I've always said that hard work pays off and this has proved true," said Sarabhai, whose only nervous moment on stage was when the top three were about to be announced from a shortlist of ten finalists.

"The question and answer round is when you're so nervous because you're faced with so much uncertainty about what question the judges are going to throw at you and what sort of answer you're expected to give. The other parts I was quite confident about."

Crying uncontrollably for the first few minutes after being named the winner, the new Miss India Worldwide quickly regained her composure to pose for the large media contingent as her parents who had flown in specially to support her waited in the wings.

Mum Bella, a psychologist, and dad Pratesh, a homeopath were overjoyed at their daughter's success.

Sarabhai will be taking home with her a package of prizes that includes $5,000 in cash, gold and diamond jewellery, exclusive garments and a laptop computer.

Ajay To Quit Palampur Express..

Palampur express may come to a jarring stand halt, as Palampur boy Ajay has expressed his displeasure with the way serial is shaping up, so much so that he plans to quit the show.

"No doubt it's a beautiful concept, but the story at this juncture is going nowhere," laments the actor. He further states, "I am just waiting for the new twist that will be soon introduced in the serial, as told to us by the Creatives. If I like the twist, I will continue or else, I have made up my mind."

Even though he agrees to have made ample moolah with his stint in the two-months-old serial, but as an actor he does not see the scope to explore anything beyond what he is doing right now.

After 'Let's Dance' he is awaiting another film. Apparently, he seems to be enticed by the flashy silver screen over the lush greenery of Palampur!
