Work is Worship, Love Only Comes Next
Actors love any excuse to take a break from work. When the excuse is marriage or a honeymoon, it will taken before you know it. However, that was not the case with Jhanvi Chedda. The actor, who is better known as Sugna in Colors’ hit serial Balika Vadhu decided to postpone her honeymoon so that she could keep up with her shooting commitments.
Jhanvi got married last November and took just a few days off to be with her husband and new family. She returned to work immediately and gave her honeymoon a pass. If this is real commitment, we laud her. The flip side is also that actors can sometimes just not take their career for granted, given how easily roles are changed today!

Mona Singh Back to Serials
Jassi star Mona Singh was all the rage when the serial began. The show was a hit like none other, and newcomer Mona Singh became an overnight star. Success was due in large part to the fact that the serial was a copy of the American hit series Ugly Betty, but Mona made her mark nonetheless. However, post Jassi, Mona was nowhere to be seen. She did play a small role in a show on NDTV Imagine, but nothing thereafter.
Now Mona is back and has all her acting talent in tow. The lead in the serial Kya Hua Tera Vada, Mona can be seen on Sony Television starting the end of January.
