She has sold over 65 consumer products but she is no saleswoman. She has treated several patients but she is not a doctor. She has operated upon patients but she is not a surgeon. In reel life two of her colleagues were in love with her and she was in a serious dilemma over which one to choose. However, for her real life partner she chose Arjun Punj, her co-actor of Sanjivani, who played the bad guy. The sweet, charming and beautiful doctor of the hit medical series is enjoying her role of a good-bad bahu in Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka. But more than that she is having a gala time anchoring Jet Set Go, a unique reality show. "It's really great and exciting," gushes the beautiful and charming Gurdip Kohli. "The concept is unique. For a change there is no script. I just have to be myself, pick up a contestant with a valid passport and take him to the airport. The experience is quite in contrast with studio shootings, make-up touches and memorising dialogues. I am on the streets, shouting, screaming and trying to find the right contestant. It's quite a tough job running around, more demanding and physically straining." It may be strenuous but it's worth the trouble because the anchor that reaches the airport first with maximum contestants will win a grand bumper prize in the end. "It is rewarding too," smiles Gurdip who didn't have to struggle for roles when she decided to transit from modelling to acting.

Spicy pav bhaji is my favourite rasta food'

Merawallah Mumbai Gurdeep Kohli, TV actor ROTI My favourite rasta food is: Pav bhaji (from anywhere where they serve spicy food). My favourite restaurant is: Don Giovanni (Juhu). My favourite nightspot is: Squeeze (Khar). The most expensive meal I've had was at: The Zodiac Grill. The most value for money food is at: Urban Tadka (Versova). KAPDA I shop mostly at: I pick up stuff when I am travelling abroad. My favourite rasta shopping area is: I hate shopping from the road. My favourite designers are: Ritu Kumar - I love the heavy embroidery work on Indian outfits. They are simply awesome. I adore her Punjabi touch to Indian clothes. The sale I never miss is: I never get the time to shop when there's a sale on. My most expensive purchase is: Diamond jewellery. My cheapest purchase is: Osho chappals. MAKAAN My favourite place in Mumbai is: My home where I grew up. Heritage structures should be: Maintained. We should not litter them and learn to value the structures. The one place that holds fondest memories for me is: My college - the JJ Institute of Applied Arts. The most aesthetic structure in Mumbai is: The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. Mumbai's biggest eyesore is: Juhu beach. I remember as a kid we used to frequent the place so often. It's really annoying to see the beach that was once so beautiful now full of litter. No one bothers to maintain it either.

Fancy Parvati bhabi for a neighbour?

If the answer is yes, then Palm Court Apartments in Malad is where you need to find a flat in. The building has the maximum number of flats owned by television stars. Reena Thapar-Kapoor spoke to some of its starry residents to find out just what it feels like to live next door to the people you work with

• Swetta Keswani (15th floor)
The other day I spotted Gauri Pradhan and Hiten Tejwani standing in the parking area. I've still not moved in but I make frequent trips there as I'm in the process of giving final touches to the interiors. Otherwise I do drop by to meet Saakshi Tanwar and Ali Asgar who've been colleagues and friends.

• Nikhil Arya (14th floor)
I've been living in Palm Court since six months now. A lot of other celebrities live in the vicinity but the only one I invariably run into is Pracheen Chauhan. Apart from him, I sometimes spot Ali Asgar zooming about in his car.

• Hiten Tejwani (10th floor)
We haven't shifted in yet. But we do bump into our colleagues off and on. I think it's great to live around people who you know well. I'm sure it's going to be great living in Palm Court. In fact,both Gauri and I are looking forward to it.

• Gaurav Chopra (5th floor)
I think our complex is the place for actors as it has all amenities. I haven't seen Hiten at all. Just yesterday I saw Swetta and waved out to her. I do meet Pracheen and Nikhil. Since I'm not a Balaji actor I don't mingle around much in those circles.

• Ali Asgar (4th floor)
I was the first from the TV fraternity to buy and move in Palm Court. The idea was to be away from the work atmosphere after I'm back home. But now with so many other actors moving in the same complex, this has become like Bandra of TV industry... The only person I run into often is Parvati bhabi... i.e. Saakshi Tanwar.

• Pracheen Chauhan (3rd floor)
I think all actors living in the complex are extremely busy with their respective work. But on and off we do spot each other. Nikhil Arya and Gaurav Chopra are the two I often meet. In fact, we do hang around together as and when we find the time.


Other actors in the building
• Juhi Parmar
• Ashish patil (Balaji director)
• Saakshi Tanwar

Swetta Keswani

Nikhil Arya

Hiten Tejwani

Sharad Kelkar, better known as Nahar from Saath Phere – Saloni Ka Safar or Rudr from Sindoor Tere Naam Ka has proven to be a big hit on television. Apart from acting, he is very good at judo and basketball too. A fitness freak, he plans to open a well-equipped gym in future. Currently riding a career high with two hit serials under his belt, the actor opens up and talks about his roles, future career prospects and love life too. Q How did Saath Phere — Saloni Ka Safar happen? My good friend Shweta Kawatra tipped me off about the auditions for Nahar Singh's role in Saath Phere. Actually, I signed on Saaht Phere a month before Sindoor, but started shooting for the latter much earlier. Q If you had come across a dusky plain Jane in real life, would you have fallen in love with her like your onscreen character Nahar does with Saloni? It's true that Saloni isn't conventionally beautiful, but how does that affect love, which is blind. A man may ogle at several beautiful women around him, but his heart will finally fall for someone who is on the same wavelength as him. There should be chemistry between the two as well. Q Do you identify with Nahar from Saath Phere and Rudr from Sindoor Tere Naam Ka in real life? I feel my whole personality, height and build gels with Nahar who is an aristocratic Rajasthani. Besides, I play a married man who loves his wife, it's the same in real life too as I really love my wife Kirti Gaikwad. As far as Rudr is concerned, initially I was a bit apprehensive about playing a villain. But with gradual twists and turns generated into the plot, my character transformed into a positive person. What fascinates me most about him is his angry young man image. Plus, playing hubby to my wife Kirti in the serial has been an added advantage. Q Is it true that the previous episodes of Sindoor were scripted along the lines of Amitabh Bachchan's rebellious character in the Bollywood blockbuster Trishul? To some extent yes, as Rudr too like Big B in the film was born an illegitimate child, who later on goes to take revenge, only to realise that it's entirely his loss. But that track is now over. Q You always said that Kirti has been your sole guiding force in the industry. Comment. Kirti is senior to me in the industry and she has literally taught me how to mouth my dialogues and correct my expressions in front of the camera. In fact, she grades my work. And right now I've progressed from the nominal 1 to 5 out of 10!

Your stand on reservation
I have personally suffered a lot during my college days. I have done my Arts, but even there we had around six seats reserved for OBC students. I think what's happening with the doctors, is really sad. I am totally against reserving seats in medical colleges.

Do you support the agitating students?
Yes, I totally am for their cause. In fact, during my college days, the professors used to be more partial to the reserved class students, and we would be called the 'moneybags'. But the government in our country is too caught up in its own mess to address this issue.

Your say on the police assault
It was a terrible sight to see them beat up budding doctors. How can they physically assault such young boys and girls? It's totally condemnable.

Stepping into the doctors' shoes
I, too, would have gone on the streets and held protest marches

When stars blow a fuse

They're known to throw temper tantrums, though not always without reason. Some of our television actors tell us what has made them fly off the handle lately

Gurdeep kohli
I'm a true Punjab di kudi, and so I fly off the handle at the smallest instigation. I once lost my entire make-up kit because of the negligence of a unit hand. My instant reaction was to scream my lungs out at him. But I later felt bad because he was a middle-aged man.

Cezanne Khan
I once saw a cabbie having an altercation with a girl on the road. He was getting overly aggressive and she looked like she needed help. I intervened, and tried to bail her out, but the matter escalated into a brawl. I don't generally lose my temper but the cabbie actually pushed me and we got into a fist fight.

Tasneem sheikh
Afew months ago, I realised that I was being stalked. A weird man was following me around. I tried to ignore him for a day but when I saw him again the next day I yelled at him on the street. He ran away immediately. One normally tends to get scared in such scenarios, and this gives the opponent the upper hand. But I feel offence is the best form of defence.

Ekta kapoor
I'm famous for my temper. Although, I must say that with age and experience I have sobered down. I am a perfectionist and I want things to happen just so, and if they don't, I lose my cool. Flinging mobile phones at people was a regular affair with me before. It was my way venting my irritation. But not anymore.

Vikas Bhalla
A drunken driver was messing around with me on the road, and threatening to bang into my car. I tried to avoid him but it reached a point when I had to stop my car, pull him out and teach him a lesson. Despite my beating him up, he didn't react as he knew he was at fault. Drinking and driving is a crime, not just a hazard.

Mona singh
A credit card executive, who looked positively dubious, was troubling me endlessly. He kept visiting my house for days until I decided to taken serious action. I asked the security guards of my complex to hand him over to the cops. As expected, he turned out to be a conman.

Aashka goradia
I saw a street woman beat a small boy mercilessly on the streets. I was so angry that, on an impulse, I went and pulled her away by her plait. My sole intention was to free the boy from her. Trust me, I don't regret my reaction to date.

I am Dr Juhi's sister, says 15-year-old girl

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------


Poonam Nagendra Rai
Television actress Gurdeep Kohli — better known as Dr Juhi of Sanjeevani — was busy shooting this afternoon when she received a call that upset her schedule.

The caller, a lady constable who told Kohli that a 15-year-old girl, claiming to be the actress's sister, was being held at Bandra police station.

Poonam Nagendra Rai, apparently a Delhi resident, was found roaming the streets of Bandra, speaking to strangers. The bewildered teenager kept repeating, "Mujhe akela chhod kar Dr Juhi didi chali gayi… mujhe uske paas le chalo."

But when the confused actress visited Bandra police station yesterday, Poonam was not allowed to meet her. "I was frightened when the police called me. Apparently, the cops thought she resembled me. Maybe that's why she tried to pass off as my sister," said Kohli.

Kohli said the teenager claimed to have lived with her in a bungalow for seven years. "The truth is I live in an apartment and have two elder sisters," said Kohli. "I was told that Poonam said I had bought the clothes she was wearing. She added that I had gone back on my promise of getting her roles in TV serials," she added.

"I don't know if I should meet the girl or just ignore her. I was initially worried just for myself, but now I'm more worried about the girl. She could be mentally disturbed," said Kohli.

Winning Moves: Sharad Kelkar

National award-winning actor and a man of many roles, Sharad Kelkar, is capitalising on his chemistry with the camera Originally a Gwalior guy, Sharad Kelkar, is a Grasim Mr India finalist; an MBA in marketing and now, the undisputed hunk factor of two Zee serials - Sindoor and Saat Phere. His journey into showbiz began with advertising. A small cameo in the offbeat National Award-winning Marathi film, Uttarayan, whetted his appetite and he started doing the rounds of production houses. A cop's role in Akrosh, a few episodes in Bhabhi and Sharad's television innings was off to a good start. Along the way he met and married TV actor, Kirti Gaekwad. The twosome continues their romance as an on-screen couple in Sindoor. With him doing two dailies and the missus doing three, quality time together is a premium.

Sharad-Kirti going the Hiten-Gauri way!

"Wherever you go, I'll follow," this one's adage that has been doing the rounds in relation to real life couple, Hiten and Gauri, but it seems that another TV couple has taken over the distinction - Sharad Kelkar and Kirti Gaekwad now star in two shows together and they make no bones about the fact that they are enjoying their stint as Zee's golden couple. No one can deny that the handsome actor and the petite actress make an awesome pair and both their shows, Sinndoor and Saat Phere are both top shows on Zee TV. Kirti's recent entry in Saat Phere saw the couple again playing husband and wife....like in Sinndoor and in the former, Kirti's introduction was at quite a dramatic moment with the show poised on an interesting point! Although the 25 May episode said that Kirti's character's dead, a little bird tells us that she will be part of the show for some time to come! We are sure that the couple will have a great time enjoying each other's company!
