It was a scary day as well as night for Anuj even at the hotel. "The hotel staff was really good and helpful to everyone - even those who were not hotel guests. Since the hotel building had got cracks - they were not letting anyone access the rooms and we all stayed in the tennis court of the hotel all night. They provided us with food, water and quilts. It was really a wonderful gesture from the hotel even at such crucial time.

Although, none of us could sleep even for a minute entire night and it was the fear of earthquake which was the bigger problem than tremors. And this fear grows in your head.For once, I got scared even when luggage trolley moved and started running thinking it is an aftershock, seeing me run, some 10-15 more people started running too."

And if the night wasn't peaceful, Anuj had a major problem boarding the flight to come back to India. At the airport next day early morning, he learnt his flight had been cancelled and the next one was in the night. "So, I decided to board the one which was Indian Air Force (IAF) res cue flight. Getting 40 kgs of luggage back from the airlines' crew was a big problem but thankfully, I got it back. But, to board the IAF flight required me to spend over six hours in the queue with over 3,000 people.Although, the major disappointment was that there wasn't a proper co-ordination between the Indian Embassy officials at Kathmandu and Indian Air Force, the Air Force guys were more than willing to help.

However they were bound due to legal procedures -and couldn't help us board the flights. It was too much time consuming. I kept on requesting the captain who refused to take me in. Suddenly when the engine roared, he called me in. I was so relieved to get that seat to come back home! And even in the flight, I was lucky to have a co-passenger, who gave me some water and split a cookie into half to share it with me."

They may appear compatible on screen, but all is not hunky-dory between Divyanka Tripathi and Karan Patel, who play the lead in TV show Ye Hai Mohabbatein. Just when things seemed fine between the two after overcoming their initial issues, Karan's problem with sticking to the clock has offended Divyanka again. So miffed was the actress after he turned up late for two days in a row that she told the production house that she would now leave her home only when Karan reaches the set.


Says an eyewitness, "For a 9 am call-time, Karan reported at 12 and so Divyanka came at around 12.45. The first shot was canned at 4 pm as the actor chose to sleep in his room. The drama didn't end there. When Karan learnt about Divyanka's decision to report on the set only after he arrived, he refused to step out of his vanity van, thereby, disrupting the shoot. The production house even deployed two officials to resolve their differences, but the actors kept blaming each other. However, the two actors eventually kissed and made up."

Both Divyanka and Karan chose not to respond to our text message.
