Nehha Pendse's wish comes true

Actress Nehha Pendse, who always wished to ride a bike, had her dream fulfilled on the set of popular comedy show "May I Come in Madam?".

Though Nehha doesn't know how to ride a bike, when she got an opportunity, she decided to learn it.

"Bikes have always excited me, but unfortunately, I never got an opportunity to learn it. When I came to know that I was required to ride a bike in a sequence, I was excited," Nehha said in a statement.

"Rather than using a body double, I thought it would be best if I learn and did it myself as it would add a lot more authenticity to the scene.

"It was my wish to ride a bike some day and that has come true now. One of the things in my checklist is fulfilled. I would also like to thank the unit members who were patient and helped me a lot in learning the bike," she added.

"May I Come in Madam?" is aired on Life OK.

Jhinal learns Punjabi for show

Actress Jhinal Belani, who is a Gujarati, has started learning Punjabi for her role of Sonu in comedy show "Har Mard Ka Dard".

Jhinal is taking Punjabi lessons from the show's director Parmeet Sethi.

As the show is based in Patiala, Jhinal thought it was necessary to learn at least the basics of the language.

"I thought I should learn Punjabi language as the show is based in Patiala and my character is married into a Punjabi family. But owing to my tight schedule, I couldn't hire a tutor. One day, I casually asked Parmeet sir if he could help and he readily agreed.

"So every day after pack up, we sit down and he teaches me," Jhinal said in a statement.

"The language has always fascinated me and now with me learning the basics, I am even more kicked about learning it in-depth. The first thing I am going to do as and when I get time is hire a tutor who will teach me Punjabi," she added.
