* There is a feast in store for Hrithik Roshan fans on Sony. Besides the telecast of his Delhi stage show on March 31, there will be four episodes of an intimate encounter with the Kaho Naa.. lover boy which will trace his personal life from his childhood to his star status. Tune in to know everything you wanted to know about Hrithik but were afraid to ask, lest biwi Suzanne would mind.

* After Bhiku Mhatre it will be the turn of Saraswati Pandurang Joshi to catch the fancy of masses. Yes, thats the deglamourised name of the character of the sari-clad middle-class girl played by Mahima Chaudhary in Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar opposite Sunil Shetty directed by Priyadarshan. A drastic change of image for glamour-puss Mahima!

I am being unnecessarily linked with cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin. On the contrary, I am very friendly with his wife Bijli (Sangeeta Bijlani) and I recently even did a fashion show for her," retorted the lanky, but shapely, Pooja Batra whilst she sat in the audience watching the skimpily clad beauties strutting on stage at the Gladrags Mega Model contest.

The Viraasat girl seemed equally upset over the alleged postman-bashing episode. "We have dozens of postmen and courier delivery boys coming over to my house for delivery of letters and parcels. Why should there be a problem only with one particular person. Isn't that a sochnewali baat? It's very unfair that I have been made a scapegoat in the whole episode, even after the liquor test proved negative," groused the Batra babe who currently has six big-banner films on hand including Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya, Ittefaq, Kashmakash, Yahoo, Khajuraho and Nayak.

Curiously enough in Nayak, which has Anil Kapoor playing the lead role, Pooja plays a livewire journalist. Perhaps enacting this journo character will train Pooja in how to avoid being in the news for the wrong reasons!

Mahima deglamourised

After Bhiku Mhatre it will be the turn of Saraswati Pandurang Joshi to catch the fancy of masses. Yes, that's the deglamourised name of the character of the sari-clad middle-class girl played by Mahima Chaudhary in Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar opposite Sunil Shetty directed by Priyadarshan. A drastic change of image for glamour-puss Mahima!

Heenee's here
Films may come and go but Dev Anand goes on forever. This time the veteran actor-director is ready with his off-beat movie Censor releasing on April 6. In keeping with his star-maker image (remember how he launched the likes of Tina Munim and Zeenat Aman?) this time the affable Anand will be introducing the vivacious Heenee Kaushik, a model-turned-actress.

But with over two dozen leading stars (including Govinda and Rekha) in guest appearances where was the scope for a heroine?

"That's the galat faimi everyone has," clarifies Heenee. "In fact I have four songs including a solo number sung by Lataji. Besides I also play the heroine of Aaneywala Kal, the film being made by Devsaab within Censor which gets stuck-up with the Censor Board due to its bold futuristic theme but wins international acclaim. So my performance will definitely get noticed," adds Kaushik who was crowned Monsoon Princess in Assam in the recent past.

Wasn't it a fact that she had done some brazen, revealing scenes in the movie. "Yes, I have worn a skimpy outfit but it is part of a scene at a swimming pool and is not obscene at all," explains Heenee whose actual name is Heena. "It was changed on Devsaab's suggestion as he felt it sounded more affectionate," laughs Heenee who has now been repeated by her mentor for his next movie Love at Times Square.

Badhai ho, Kakaji
Seventies phenomenon Rajesh Khanna will receive the Millennium Honours Award as the premier superstar of Bollywood at the 31st All-India Film-Goers Association Awards Nite tomorrow. The event, convened by Ravi Sharma and Thakur Doultani, will have megastar Hrithik Roshan handing the award to Khanna.

It may be recalled that for mysterious reasons none of the Millennium Film Awards events in the past bothered to acknowledge the jubilee-laden career of Rajesh Khanna with a formal felicitation. When asked, in the recent past, about this touchy issue, Kakaji (as he is fondly called) was least perturbed. "Frankly, for me it's the appreciation, affection and the adulation of my fans which is my biggest award," he had said with his famous slant-nod and crinkling of eyes.

During his heydays, Khanna had frenzied female fans getting married to his photograph and wearing a mangalsutra. Scores of swooning girls would also wait everyday outside his Carter Road bungalow for hours together just to get his darshan. At times they would even kiss his car and leave lipstick marks all over and send him love letters written in blood. Refusing to be confined to his powerful Aradhana lover-boy image, Khanna had dared to do milestone movies minus a heroine in Anand, Bawarchi and Ittefaq.
