On her first day, however, she had to share the limelight with fellow member Jaya Bachchan, who caught the attention of the House by plunging into a heated discussion started by the BJP. The issue - the plight of Indian workers stranded in the southern African country of Angola .

Her unexpected display of parliamentary feistiness surprised other members, who quipped that it was perhaps due to Rekha's debut. Rekha was greeted with a thumping of desks when her name was called out.

Her seat number was 99, right behind seat 91, where her "Silsila" co-star Jaya used to sit earlier. Rekha sat for part of the question hour session.

Jaya, a second-term MP from the Samajwadi Party , is known for her "active", but quiet conduct. In fact, during her first term (2004-2010), she was almost never heard in any debate.

"We can expect more such fireworks from the Samajwadi MP," quipped a minister. Jaya, who arrived before Rekha, took the House by surprise when she joined BJP members in raising the issue of Indian workers in Angola.

She compelled minister for overseas Indian affairs, K Vayalar Ravi , to give an assurance that he would seek details about the workers. This was perhaps the first time that Jaya, who returned to the House last month after a gap of two years, pushed herself into the parliamentary rough and tumble.

Itni mehnat, eh? Seat change? It's Jaya's Silsila: Amar Reacting to reports that Jaya Bachchan had demanded a change in her seat in the Rajya Sabha after Rekha's nomination, Rashtriya Lokmanch Party president Amar Singh said it was her own "silsila". "I don't want to say anything on why Jaya Bachchan changed her seat.

It's her own silsila, her own business, her own affair. I don't have any comment to make on it," Amar told reporters.

"Amitabh Bachchan is my friend and I have seen Rekha in his films. I congratulated her when I met her today.

I don't have any personal equation with her though," he added. ( Agencies ) Fellow mps not impressed?

Rather the second one, first being the Oprah Winfrey dinner where not many pictures of her were clicked. Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao Saif, Kareena Kapoor Madhuri Dixit with husband Dr Sriram Nene Sridevi and Boney Kapoor Jacqueline Fernandez, Sajid Khan Nita, Mukesh Ambani Bipasha paired a blingy blouse with a Falguni and Shane net saree, which looked horrendous.

Even Kareena has not worked with Abhishek since then, despite being good friends. Jaya Bachchan and Karisma were very cordial with each other at a recent magazine award function that felicitated the latter as the style icon of the year.

Karisma walked up to Jaya Bachchan and greet her and hugged her, which made it clear that there is no bad blood between them anymore. Karisma even congratulated Jaya on the baby girl in their family.

He was to be freed Monday but it was put off after he developed acute pain. The actor is on the fifth floor of the hospital, where son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai's baby girl was born last year.

The Bachchans have booked four consecutive rooms, costing Rs.31,000 each a day.

Jaya and Shweta take turns to look after Big B, informed sources said. Aishwarya visited him Tuesday along with Beti B.

Shweta brings home-cooked food daily at around 3 p.m.

and relieves her mother, who returns to the hospital around 7 p.m.

The 69-year-old Big B is feeling better now. He told his fans "All Izzz Well" through his Twitter page.

His abdominal problems stem from an injury he suffered during the shooting of "Coolie" in 1982, an incident that almost cost his life. Security at the hospital is not as tight as it was during Beti B's birth.

Apoorva Lakhia's Zanjeer remake is touted to be one of the bigger budget films of the year. It stars southern actor Ram Charan Teja as the 'angry young man', a memorable role essayed by Amitabh Bachchan in the original.

There's no doubt then that Apporva is looking for an equally established actress to play Jaya Bachhcan's role. Reportedly, Deepika was approached for the film but the actress refused it by citing date issues.

it looks like Deepika's loss may now be Priyanka's gain. Ram Charan has a grand fan following in the South but is new in Bollywood , and his first Hindi film needs a big bankable actress who can draw in the audience.

Though Priyanka hasn't yet given her nod the makers are quite positive about her inclusion in the cast. Zanjeer will be made in Hindi and Telugu simultaneously (less)
