KITTY TROUBLE
Aamna Sharif is in mourning these days… Not for anybody we know but for her pet feline who passed away some days back (God bless her soul!). Aamna had been rather troubled off late with her cat getting lonely as she aged, that Aamna even sought out a perfect companion for her. The new kitty couple mated for a bit in her room, following which her darling pet suddenly & tragically just jumped out of the window… and died! Looks as if the mating session was a wee bit more than she could handle… we’re still talking about the cat, of course!

SHOW ME THE RING…
…says Karishma Tanna. When GR8! wrote about Nikhil Arya being spotted at a local shopping mall, buying a diamond ring on Valentine’s Day, Karishma called up GR8! “You know I was quite amused that you guys wrote about him buying a ring for me and I was looking forward to a gift…but the problem is I didn’t get any ring,” quips Karishma. “Where is the ring?” she enquires. Perhaps that’s a query you should be directing at Nikhil… He’s the only one who can tell which fingers are playing with that band.

PAYING GUEST
Guess who’s residing as a paying guest in Asif Sheikh’s home? None other than his co-star Miillee a.k.a. Mona Wasu. She has rented out accommodation which Asif’s wife owns and she has been living in extremely close quarters with them for quite a while now. In fact, it’s the very same flat that Asif had once rented & lived in, some years ago when he had just arrived in Mumbai & was a struggling actor.

CHERRY BERI
Did anyone see “Aap Ki Adaalat” on India TV, featuring Rajat Sharma sweetly & lovingly cross-examining the “duniya ki jaani-maani, mushhoor fashion designer” Ritu Beri…?

All coy in the witness box of his courtroom (constantly yanking up the sides of her persistently descending, cherry-red, back-less, shoulder-less, fancy designer halter-neck top), she toyed with the elated Rajat… pretending to smack him for the naughty things he said… eyes & mouth wide open in disbelief at every disclosure he doled out about her life… followed by the incessant giggles of a school girl… followed by a “how do you know all this?’

At times she appeared heart-broken… as he revealed accusations being hurled at her by her industry-waalas, as well as by some of the media. She was flabbergasted when she heard that most of her co-designers don’t really like her… and she almost fell off her chair on hearing the kind of whispers which do the rounds of our metro-high-society; that most people believe she is all-hype and no substance…!

Rajat inquired about her brand-new-allegiance to the Lakme gang in Mumbai, as opposed to the FDCI gang in Dilli… Ms Beri says it’s only because of her longing for supporting & promoting fresh talent… Hmmm… the rumour mills in Delhi allege otherwise… Word has it that she hasn’t paid her dues to the FDCI since 3 years now… so, essentially she was pretty much shown the door… Arrey, how come Rajat ji didn’t know this…!?!

Finally, they discussed her latest venture – her precious memoirs – the Rupees One Lakh, Limited Edition book, “Firefly”… Rajat was curious as to why she had named it such… she explained it was about her life… she is like the fly that is constantly attracted to a flame (challenges in life)… and then eventually gets burned by the flame… Waah Ustaad… Rajat ji was floored!

BUT… and somebody please correct me if I’m wrong…isn’t this parwaana she’s talking about actually a moth which gets attracted to the flame… isn’t the firefly really a beetle with a belly that glows at night, what we desis know as the jugnu…???

Whatever… and who cares, I guess… Firefly was made to sound like some national bestseller on the day of its launch and like Rajat ji, many other desperately-seeking-content media just lapped up all she doled out… hats off to her & to our gullible media!

And, why has the book been priced at a Lakh…? She says because those who really want to know about her life will buy it for that price! Well, this is one thing I feel she’s been pretty clever about… Whether priced for a rupee or for a lakh… exactly the same number of copies will sell – So, good thinking Ms Beri! And, we’ll all look forward to receiving the copies that remain with you as Diwali gifts this year!!

GET WELL SOON, ALL
Call them bizarre twists of fate or whatever, but there appear to be loads of accidents taking place with our twinkle-twinkle-TV-stars. First Sharad Kelkar (of Saat Phere fame) falls on a glass table and hurts his hand, after that Tasneem Sheikh plummets down the stairs at home and injures her leg and then Maninee De slips on the sets of Sarrkkar and tears a ligament in her leg… While the first two are recovered and back in action, we heard poor Maninee is yet to wholly pick up from where she left off… Here’s wishing her a sincere ‘Get Well Soon.’
