Nothing new, just love, and plenty of it followed by a trail of caste conflict, ego clash, mohalla gupshup and fight for peace. And at the centre of it is city's Yami Gautam, playing the lead, Leher Mathur in 'Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Kam'. While we hum the original number, here's a little FYI: to be launched on Colors right after Bigg Boss on December 28, this new offering from the channel plays on small town closed society, love across the road and families at war. It's set in Lucknow against the background of caste politics and class differences. Yami's love interest in the show is Gaurav Khanna who will essay the character of Abeer.

"Let me first assure you that there will no bloodshed, vamps or villains, violence or buckets of tears on the show. My character, Leher, will not be a bechari, subdued, shy girl. She will be just like me, outgoing and bold," shoots Yami, who left Chandigarh for telly-town and is totally into it now. "To tell you the truth, fame and recognition apart, it's no bed of roses. There is a lot of hardwork, that too non stop and no room for a no," she sighs. Is it better than chasing IAS dreams she once had? "Can't say, but I'm still continuing with my studies," Yami was in her first year Law in Panjab University when she was picked by the channel for Yeh Pyaar. "It came as a huge surprise for I was never focusing on a career as a actor. I must've made a passing reference to it as a kid, but that was it. When one has always been a studious academically inclined child, topper throughout, in the merit list for Law, then parents are reluctant to let you go, that too from Chandigarh to Mumbai." But as destiny would have it, Yami made the journey and started with NDTV Imagine's Aryan last year. "Only good work appeals to me, and once you are in this industry, you have to give be an open minded person with a 24/7 energy level. Fame comes and goes, but you have to go on." Seems like a year has wisened her up!
