KISS MISS: Arunima Ghosh and Rajdeep in a passionate lip-lock on the sets of Anindya Ghosh’s Bharaate at a residence off Ballygunge. “Vickram (Rajdeep) and Rini (Arunima) are a lovey-dovey newly married couple,” said Arunima who locked lips with a co-star for the first time! “Honestly, I have always avoided doing bold scenes because I’m very shy. Both Rajdeep and I were a little stiff, more so because there were as many as five NG (not good) shots! But after the first shot we both became comfortable. It wasn’t as scary and bad as I had imagined it to be!” she laughed. Picture: B. Halder

Care for a cuppa? After getting Salman Khan on the couch for his first-ever appearance in four seasons, Karan Johar has managed to get Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla together on the same Koffee with Karan episode (in picture). The two rivals of the ’80s, who reportedly didn’t even exchange a ‘hi’ in their heyday but are now sharing screen space in the upcoming Gulaab Gang, apparently had a blast on the show.

With Salman kicking off the season this Sunday (9pm on STAR World), cousins Kareena and Ranbir Kapoor sharing the couch in Episode 2, followed by Madhuri and Juhi, be prepared for fireworks in the hush-hush Episode 4 with one-time buddies Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, post SRK’s public spat with Kajol’s hubby Ajay Devgn over theatre space when their films Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son of Sardaar clashed on Diwali last year.

Can’t wait!
