Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai, STAR Plus The story continues with Ranvir finding out the truth of his grandfather's death, with Sadhana's help. Our source says, "Ranvir is upbeat, and is delving deeper into the truth behind his grandfather's death. At the same time, the Ragini-Ranvir storyline will also be developed. In the meantime, Malti bhabhi will also create some drama which will be interesting to watch."

Bidaai completes 400 episodes

Bidaai completes 400 episodes and two years today, on August 14, and the team found a special way to celebrate the occasion.

Angad Hasija, who plays Alekh, says it was Rajan Shahi's idea to celebrate the show's success. "It's a different kind of celebration. All unit members are going to get gifts. The cast usually celebrates by going out and partying, but these people who work so hard do not get any appreciation. So, this time, we are going to give all of them different gifts like a silver coin or CD player, one by one."

Angad believes that it is always good to remember these people's efforts. "They work really hard. At least we actors get a chance to rest in our makeup vans, but people like the light men, spot boys and everyone work for 24 hours. They never get any recognition or fame, so it is important to make them feel special at least on one day." The cast and crew will also cut a cake with the unit members.

As for the show, Angad says, "There are lots of interesting high points which will come soon. The person responsible for Aleph's condition will be revealed, and Ragini and Sadhna's story will also see some twists."

Angad has enjoyed his past year on the show and says, "I still remember my first day. When I was giving my first shot, Alokji and Vibhaji were watching me, and I was nervous in front of such senior actors. Now, people have started recognising me and compliment me, which feels nice."

Hema Malini: She has worked in shows and even tried direction, but it was fun to see her play herself as a guest judge in a dance competition held in Bidaai. We'd love to see her do more of such roles. It would be also great to watch her perform, instead of just judging.

Bidaai rocks its fourth century!

Producer Rajan Shahi says, "The show has completed four hundred episodes. "The cast distributed the gifts to the crew, thanked the unit of Bidaai for all the support. Bidaai is my first production and is close to my heart"

Producer Rajan Shahi's daughter Ishika was seen bonding with Sara Khan and she is a regular viewer of the show. Avinash Wadhawan and Seema Kapoor were seen interacting with the crewmembers very enthusiastically.

Kinshuk Mahajan playing Ranveer says, "The serial has turned four hundred, but we feel very young at heart". Parul Chauhan adds, "Bidaai has given me name and fame and I am thankful to Rajan Shahi as well as Star Plus for giving me the role of Ragini."

Angad Hasija says, "Bidaai is a landmark show and I enjoy acting for it. I am sure it will continue to be successful for many years"

The cast and crew to celebrate the occasion cut a big chocolate cake.

Sara Khan ka encounter with Bollywood Khan!

A person close to Sara revealed, "Sara was very excited to meet Salman Khan and she has managed to get some time off from her shoot of the show Bidaai and will be heading towards RK Studio for the shoot with Mr. Khan."

The actress has appeared on a reality show with Shah Rukh Khan before. "She and Parul did appear with SRK on the show Paanchvi Paas and had a gala time. This time Sara is going alone without Parul, and she doesn't even have the company of her boyfriend Ali Merchant," chirps the source.

"Ali is too busy shooting and rehearsing for his dance with Karishma Tanna on Colors for the Ganesha Utsav special. It's a known fact that Ali is a big fan of Salman and wanted to attend the shoot, but due to his prior commitments he could not do the same," adds the source.

We tried contacting Sara and Ali, but the duo was not available for comments.

It is sure going to be a dhamaka when the two khans meet!

"I Haven't Really Thought Of A Relationship With Nishant Yet"

We all want to be loved and have a happy, long-lasting relationship with a person we care about. But it isn't always that easy to figure out who the right person is. Even though it is said that love is blind and connections happen instantly, sometimes, one truly needs more surety than just meeting their new love and walking around with a smile you simply can't get rid of.

And maybe that is what is happening with Parul Chauhan, our very own Ragini from Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai and Nishant Bhatt, Shilpa Shukla's choreographer from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

According to sources, Parul and Nishant have been seeing each other since a while now. Yes, you read right. Parul is supposedly dating Nishant and not her choreographer Deepak, who she was linked with during Jhalak... The question on everyone's lips right now is, are the two really a couple? Or is it just another mere story that gossip mongers have twisted? To get the real dope behind this buzz, we decided to speak to the people concerned.

When we question Parul about her new liaison, she patiently hears us out and is surprisingly quite forthcoming about the entire situation. Says Parul, "I know Nishant for a year now and we got a chance to get closer during Jhalak… Both Nishant and I used to rehearse simultaneously for Jhalak… and that's how Shilpa, Deepak, Nishant and I became such good friends. We are close friends right now and there's nothing more to it."

But according to the grapevine, she is said to be looking for something serious with Nishant. How true is that? "Well," she pauses for a few seconds before answering that. "I haven't really thought of a relationship with Nishant yet. However, for me, it's better if everything starts with friendship. Right now we are good friends. I can share anything with him, say anything to him and when both of us get a chance we even hang out together. If I need a suggestion, I take it from him and vice versa. Our friendship is really strong that way."

Parul has apparently even been spotted getting cozy with Nishant at a few suburban coffee shops. What does she have to say about that? "Yes, I do go for coffee with him because when I am free I like meeting my friends and he is a good friend. But we've never gotten cozy there. We're good friends and we even go shopping together. Nishant buys what I like and I buy what he likes but that's that," she says sounding intensely alarmed.

Considering she comes from a very conservative background, how do her parents react to her friendship with Nishant? "My parents have never stopped me from doing anything," says Parul, coming into her own again. "They've never stopped me from making friends because my parents have always trusted me. In fact, my mom has even come to the set and seen me laugh and joke around with Nishant and everybody, so there's no problem there. At present, Nishant and I are close friends and if something concrete does materialize between us, I am not going to hide it," she ends categorically.

It's quite evident that there is something between the two. Perhaps they are at a stage where they're still figuring each other out. And maybe they want to be completely convinced about one another before coming out in the open about their affair. Whatever their reasons for keeping it mum might be, we just hope this relationship is able to last the test of time in an industry where nothing is permanent.

Sara Khan: She is fair and skinny, so doesn't have to worry about the right colour or even about Indian or western clothes. However, since she has to wear ethnic outfits on the show, we have seen her a lot in varying shades of gold. In this snap, the gold-coloured looks good.

Parul Chauhan: She really needs a good stylist. Certain colours suit her complexion better than others; this golden-yellow outfit was not the right choice.
