Elesh ParujanwalaThats what Mumbai Mirror claims. Rakhi Sawant is finally getting married to Elesh Parujanwala on the show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar.

At this stage, there are three finalists – Manas Katyal, Chitiz Jain and Elesh Parujanwala. Elesh is 30 year old Gujrati  businessman based in Toronto. Runs family business and wants to get into entertainment industry in Mumbai.  Seems like a perfect match. Rakhi will get deep pocketwala NRI and Elesh will find a getaway for his bollywood aspirations! If nothing, Nach Baliye guys will surely call up the pair.

BTW, there have been few other rumours doing the rounds. First, She will not marry anyone. The finalist will be offered big money and will be asked to choose between Rakhi Sawant or money. He will go for the cash.

Second, Rakhi’s ex-boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi will turn up at the show, do some drama and she will finally end up with him. With Rakhi, anything is possible. You never know!

Whats’s next ? Rakhi Ka Honeymoon and Rakhi Ka Divorce!

Manas KatyalNo. You must! Manas Katyal ? One of the finalists of Rakhi Ka Sawayvar on NDTV Imgaine. The show that will baffle many generations of sociologists for sure. And Rakhi Sawant surely deserves the Lifetime Achievement Acting Award for this show. Because nobody can fake it better than her. And she also can’t do better than this. You have to watch the videos. With background music from bollwood. It doesn’t get funnier than this. Swayamvar moves to Delhi now. We are hooked and how!

And don’t miss the quote of the year – Item girl bahu hai, bahu item girl nahi hai!

Rakhi SawantLike us, if you are quite  vella and scratching your head wondering WTF is going to happen to Rakhi Sawant after the show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, we got some fresh goss.

According to Buzz18’s Juicy Mausi, Rakhi Sawant will remain single even after the Swayamvar. It seems there is no clause in the contract which states that she HAS to marry someone at the end of the show.

Rakhi Ka Swayamvar is getting quite lot of balls, oops, eyeballs for obvious reasons and generating good buzz. Also, because of the show, NDTV Imagine has moved from No. 5 potition to No.4, replacing Sony.

In the finale, the contestants will be asked to choose between a large sum of money and Rakhi Sawant. And when they do, Rakhi will throw a fit and walk away! ROFL! Marega…jiyega….shaadi karega….TRP ke liye kuch bhi karega!

Bollywoodpopat also reports the same. According to the report, some astro-numerologist Sandhiya Mehta (kaun hai yeh ?), the show is all fake, only good publicty for Rakhi Sawant and great TRP idea for NDTV Imagine.

Wooohoo…we never Imgine-d that we will write so much about Rakhi Sawant!

BTW, if you are still vella and bored, watch this hilarious video. Its a must watch!

NDTV IndiaBecause he/she surely doesn’t understand any shit about entertainment news. Saw the Monday bulletin (13th July- 23:00) of Mumbai Central on NDTV India. The central theme – We copy reality show formats like we plagiarise hollywood films. Its the same story on big and small screen. Dude, its not! One is with proper license and the other is just copy-paste.

The big mistake – 90% reality shows on Indian television are NOT plagiarised. The format is owned by some foreign production house and its shot here with proper license. Its NOT copy-paste job as the scene is with our films and as NDTV India made it to be. Someone needs to tell this to the editor of Mumbai Central. Because the anchor Mayuri Dongre repeated the same lines some two hundred times in just 15 minutes. Yeh bhi churaya hua hai…isme bhi desi tadka laga hai bus…..hamara show kab aayega….kab hamara sar uncha hoga ?

 Can someone explain it to me what and how is the logic of having sar ooncha ? These reality shows are popular in many countries across the world and its the same process everywhere. Someone designs the show, owns it, gives license to other parties and makes money. From Kaun Banega Crorepati ( Who wants to be millionaire) to Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao ( I’m a Celebrity…Get me out of here), every show is done after paying the license fees. Many times even the production house which owns the rights to the show are also involved in producing the show in other countries. So whatever NDTV India showed today at 23:00 pm on Mumbai Central, it was factually all wrong.

When it comes to entertainment news, they suck big time. The other day, a voiceover said Anurag Basu is the director of Black Friday! Anurag Basu ??!! Can’t they make out the difference between Anurag Basu and Anurag Kashyap ? And how it gets passed ? One person writes it, someone checks it, third person does the voiceover and finally a fourth one approves it. How come no one notices it ? Huh!

Hope the moron of Mumbai Central is listening! Otherwise, at this rate, NDTV India will soon become INDIA TV. 

Sony TvIn the GEC segment, if there is one channel whose performance have been consistent, its Sony TV.  It makes space for every new channel and moves one position down. Nobody bothers, no heads roll and it has been going on like this since last few years.

In the last few weeks, Sony has moved to No. 5 position. Courtesy Rakhi Sawant. 1st-2nd is shared between Colors and Zee Tv. Star Plus is at no. 3, NDTV Imagine has move to No. 4 and Sony is at No. 5. For more numbers, click here.

Recently Sony revamped its programming with shows like Bhaskar Bharti, Ladies Special, Palampur Express and Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega but the result was the same. Tonite it launches the reality show Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao, the desi version of I’m  a Celebrity…Get me out of Here!

But the big question is…Will it save Sony ? We will get to know tonite. The promos of the show make it look like a fake jungle with tacky production. Its easy to guess that they have shot the promos here. Hopefully the show will look much better.

The format is simple. Survivor meets The Big Boss. 10 celebrities. Malaysia’s Taman Negara National Park. 2 months of adventure. Whoever survives, wins it.

The 10 contestants are Shweta Tiwari (actress), Marc Robinson (model), Aman Verma (actor. host), Akashdeep Sehgal (actor), Anaida (singer), Chetan Hansraj (actor), Ishq Bector (singer), Mona Vasu (actress), Palak (roadies finalist) and Fiza Mohammed (headline hunter. courtesy Chand – A love story). Mini Mathur and Yudi will host the show.

The show goes on air tonite at 22:00 pm.  And every monday to thursday. On fridays, at 9pm. Here is the promo of the show

Luv KhannaAbout half a million (ok..make it lil less) readers are reading our blog everyday looking for some Luv Khanna! We are completely clueless about this Mr Luv or Lust Khanna and so decided to google more about him.

Luv Khanna is 26 year old model & engineer from Delhi. And the reason why people are looking for him is because he is on Rakhi Ka Swayamvar. The tv show on NDTV Imagine. Or its a game show ? Or new season of laughter challenge ? Yeh, think so. Is it for real ? Or scripted ? Whatever. And he is considered to be a strong contender. Those of you who are dying to see more of this Luv Khanna, check out the video. Its a must watch. Don’t miss the last bit. Kalyug ka Ram. We are ROFL!

To know more about the other insane grooms who want to marry Rakhi Sawant for whatever reasons, click here. Pics, asl & profession.

Sometime back it was….fuharein…..baucharein…nazarein….kuch boondein chura lo na……featuring Sushma Reddy….we had the Limca jingle in non-stop loop. After that it was a long dry season. Finally we have discovered two new jingles and are hooked on to it. Check them out. We are going mad googling who wrote & composed the jingles. So far no clue. If you have any clue, do let us know.

First one is of Bajaj Allianz. Yaara o yaara…..yeh kis pyaari hifazat me befikri ki halat hai…the shot of the woman on the bike, tied to the man….aha…visuals that match up with the lyrics. The voice is Sukhwinder Singh for sure. Lyrics ? Music ? Gulzar & Vishal Bhardwaj ? Thats what a comment on the video link says. Not sure. Can anyone confirm.

The other is Samsung mobile featuring Aamir Khan….Sirf ek hal hai…jeena ka yeh pal hai…..thodi zindagi chakh lo…. Our status is the same with this one. No clue who has written & composed it. We are born curious. Till we get to know, will be having sleepless nights.

BTW, we have the full audio of the Limca jingle…..fuharein…baucharein….If you want it do lets us know. We will happily share. And if you got no clue what we are rambling about, check out the video. Its written by Swanand Kirkire. Music ? We are lost again. Any jingle guys reading us  ??

If not, why do they want to marry Rakhi Sawant ? What can be the real reason ? Is someone pointing a gun at their head or are they going to get fat cheques ? Or may be they are all ET, from some other planet and so have no clue about Rakhi Sawant. Or is this some kind of game ? We are quite baffled!
