I want to slap Rohit Verma: Tanaaz

Popular TV actress Tanaaz Currim, the latest contestant to be evicted out of reality show "Bigg Boss 3" is so angry with co-participant, fashion designer Rohit Verma, that she wants to "go back and slap him".
"Rohit has enraged me so much with his attitude and backbiting on the show that I really want to go back and slap him for ruining my name," Tanaaz, who was evicted on Friday, told reporters over phone from Mumbai.

While Verma, Tanaaz and her husband Bakhtiyaar, who too is on the show, were good friends in the initial episodes, they didn`t gel well later on.

"I am amazed to know what all he (Verma) said behind our backs. What is he? Who is he? He says he is a well-known fashion designer, but he should see what he`s wearing. I`ll be obliged to know another person who wears Rohit Verma creations other than Rohit himself," said Tanaaz.

"There is not one thing to like about him. What can I like about him?," she added.

The actress, known for her light-hearted performances in shows like "Zaban Sambhal Ke" and films like "Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai" and "Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon", was evicted from the show on Friday. She was nominated along with Bakhtiyaar.

Now she wants to go back to the show as a wildcard entry "to put people in their places".

"I am hopeful about re-entering the show through a wildcard entry so that I can teach them a lesson. They really need to be put in their places," she said.

According to Tanaaz, every person should "experience the show at least once - but just once".

Tanaaz had arguments and a difference of opinion because of her outspoken ways with many people on the show. But she doesn`t feel it has harmed her public image in any way.

"The show has shown me as a stronger person - the way I am. Till now, everyone knew of Tanaaz as the bubbly girl who likes a lot of comedy, but this show proved that I`m not just about comedy - I have a heart, a soul, a mind. And I am quite well-settled with it all.

"I also think that`s what made people jealous. They were scared I will win and that`s why there was so much backbiting," she added.

Now that she is out, she plans to make up for her lost time with her one and a half-year-old son Zeus and also go on a crash diet to lose weight.

She hopes that her husband Bakhtiyaar stays on the show and that "he wins".

I Want to adopt a girl: Rajeev Khandelwal

Television heartthrob Rajeev Khandelwal, who wowed critics and audiences in Aamir, has a new woman in his life and says he would love to father a baby girl whenever he settles down in life.

"I love families and kids. I would love to be a father and carry my daughter on my shoulders when I go for work. I love baby girls," Rajeev, who is returning to the small screen as a reality show host, said.

Currently he is doing his bit to fulfil his desire by sponsoring a girl child.

"If given a choice, I would love to adopt a girl. But it's a great feeling to even sponsor and support a girl child - it's as good as being a father to her," he said in the interview.

Rajeev, who was earlier in a relationship with actress Aamna Shariff, his co-star on hit daily soap Kahiin Toh Hoga, admits that he now has someone special in his life.

"Yes, I am seeing someone right now. But she is not from the industry," he said, refusing to reveal her name.

He, however, stressed that marriage was not on the cards for him any time soon.

"I've always intended to settle down with every girl I have dated in my life. But I have left it (marriage) on life. Whenever life pushes me into that direction, I will do it," he said.

Rajeev said he decided to make a comeback on the small screen to host the new reality show Sach Ka Saamna because it dealt with emotions of everyday life and presented people who could own up to the truth fearlessly.

Sach Ka Saamna, the Indian version of internationally known show Moment of Truth, will reward contestants for their courage to speak the truth about their personal lives on national television. The format and the content of the show is what drew Rajeev to the show.

"I could relate to the questions asked in the show. They are somewhere related to every person's life. That was one reason I agreed to the show besides the fact that it applauds those who can own up to the truth not fearing the consequences," he said.

Apart from the show Rajeev has a few Bollywood projects lined up too - British filmmaker John Owen's Peter Gaya Kaam Se and Saurabh Narang's Return Gift.

Rajeev had won the hearts of many women during his first stint on TV and the list only got longer after he entered Bollywood. The actor says he absolutely loves the adulation he receives from his female fans, though it is "difficult to stay grounded" at all times.

"There are lots of women who make me feel special. But I have always known it's not for me but for the characters I play. It's not that I'm a great looker, a great speaker or a great actor - but somehow I'm told that you are liked by the fairer sex and it gives me joy.

"I love it when any woman looks at me, smiles and I know it is genuine. It feels good. Imagine 10 women looking at you when you go in the lift - it becomes very difficult for me to stay grounded in such situations," Rajeev said.

In fact his fans have given him so much love by way of gifts that the actor didn't have to buy a single

object to decorate his living room.

"My house is loaded. My living room has been done up by my fans. It's like an Archies Gallery - full of teddy bears, souvenirs and statues of gods. Though I don't believe in god, my house has about 85 statues of Ganesha. People have been extremely kind to me," he said.

Uttaran kids to leave the Show

Child actors of popular television shows may have caught the fancy of many a viewer, but one may not get to see the cute kids of Uttaran or the naughty little boy playing Lord Krishna any more as they are now set to grow up on screen.

Two prime-time hits will take a generational leap in the coming weeks. This will see the exit of child actors Sparsh Khanchandani and Ishita Panchal, who play Ichcha and Tapasya in Uttaran, and Krishna Bhatia, who essays the role of the little Krishna in Jai Shri Krishna.

It might come as a disappointment to regular viewers, but the representatives say there is a good reason behind the move.

"There are too many 'me-too' imitations of what you call the juvenile formula. We feel confident enough now to let our two popular serials take a generation leap without affecting their popularity," said Rajesh Kamat, CEO of the television channel.

However, the kids in Balika Vadhu remain unchanged, although the actors Avika Gor and Avinash Mukherjee, playing the child-couple Anandi and Jagdish, are growing up right in front of viewers' eyes.

There was talk of the two Balika Vadhu kids departing from the plot when in recent months the focus of the serial shifted to the adult actors. But now the little twosome will be back at the plot's fulcrum.

Said Kamat: "The reason why less of Anandi and Jadgish was being shown in recent episodes is because both the actors playing the two characters were busy with their exams. It'd have been very ironical if after addressing child literacy so forcefully in the serial, our own lead players didn't get time off for their studies. Exams over, Avika and Avinash will be back full force."
