Our sources tell us that Sony has roped in popular Boogie Woogie contestant Preetjot to host Entertainm­ent Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega along with Mona Singh and Krushna Abhishek, in the hope of garnering better TRPs. A source connected to the show told us, “The upcoming episode of Entertainm­ent Ke Liye… will have a ‘ bachha party’ theme with entertaini­ng performanc­es from the young brigade. Krushna will perform with the kids to the song Tai Tai Fish . Preetjot Singh will host the show with Mona and Krushna. He will dance with Krushna to the song Party Toh Banti Hai.” We hear that judge Farah Khan was so impressed by the performanc­e that she asked Preetjot to teach superstar Shah Rukh Khan a step or two in his next film. “Kautilya, who is called ‘ the Google boy’ also amazed the judges with his knowledge. He handed Anu Malik and Farah an atlas and asked them to quiz him on geography, history and current affairs — all of which he answered confidentl­y,” our source added. Sources tell us that Aashka Goradia, who had quit

Maharana Pratap, will soon be back in the show. The producers have convinced her to return. Aaskha will be back after a gap of almost three months in the show. Our source says, “According to the track, Udai Singh had punished Dheer Bai ( played by Aashka) for unknowingl­y informing Rao Surtan about his army plans. As a punishment she had to live like a widow in prison. But now the story will be taking a new turn where Udai Singh will regret his decision and ask for Dheer Bai to be released from prison.” Aashka has already started shooting and will be seen on air in the coming few days. The actress, when contacted, said, “The character was what pulled me back to the show. The track demanded a break. The character needed a new mould and the story had to flow in a certain manner.” Our sources from the sets of

Beintehaa tell us that Aliya ( played by Preetika Rao) will have a wardrobe malfunctio­n according to the story this week. “A friend invites Zain and Aaliya to a party, where the conversati­on soon veers to matters of the heart. While Zain’s friends are discussing how a woman in love will readily confess her feelings, Aalia is engaged in a similar conversati­on with a different group. Aliya and Zain, frustrated with each other, dance with other people, before finally pairing up. In the midst of their fervour on the dance floor, a button on Aliya’s outfit snaps, leading to an embarrassi­ng wardrobe mishap,” our source said.
