Mohit Raina, the star of Life OK's flagship show "Devon Ke Dev Mahadev", skipped a special Holi celebration party organised by the channel recently. His absence from the event raised many questions.

If a source is to be believed, the reason could lie in the fact that his off-screen lady love Mouni Roy's performance was scrapped from "Holi Hain...Life OK Hain", due to monetary issues.

Held in Saina Resort here, the event saw several TV actors in attendance. However, Mohit's absence was not expected.

Despite Mohit's absence, the party witnessed some crazy moments as Sushant Singh, Pratyusha Banerjee, Vibhav Roy, Parvati Sehgal, Gaurav Bajaj and Sukirti Kandpal walked the 'carpet of colour'.

The hosts of the event were comedian Bharti Singh and actor Karan Kundra. The showstopper was popular rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh.

The show will be aired on Life OK soon.

Sunny Leone gets Hindi training on 'Fear Files' set

Walking in the footsteps of foreign beauties like Katrina Kaif and Nargis Fakhri, Indo-Canadian adult films star Sunny Leone, whose Bollywood career seems to be going great guns, is trying her best to master her Hindi diction. She was seen doing this on the sets of TV show "Fear Files".

While shooting for a special episode of the Zee TV show, Sunny was seen perfecting her dialogues by taking help from the show's producer and the team. Sunny ended up spending a whole hour doing so after reaching the sets on time, as she wanted to get her diction and accent right, said a source.

Sunny is said to have stunned everyone on the sets with her little black dress, and insisted that she wouldn't let the makers of the show dub her dialogues. She stayed on longer and gave retakes till the time she was content with her dialogue delivery.

Sunny made an appearance on the show for the promotion of her forthcoming 'horrex' film "Ragini MMS 2".

The "Fear Files" episode featuring the 'Babydoll' will go on air March 16.

'Youngistaan' cast gets playful for 'SAB Ki Filmy Holi'

"Youngistaan" actors Jackky Bhagnani and Neha Sharma had a gala time as they attended the shoot of "SAB Ki Filmy Holi", a festival extravaganza on SAB TV that will showcase various television stars performing to different songs.

The duo attended the show to promote "Youngistaan", and they decided to join "Jeannie Aur Juju" stars Ali Asgar and Rubina Dilaik to dance to tghe tunes of a romantic song.

Jackky and Neha were keen to be participants rather than mere spectators of the show, and so they requested the organisers to let them join the dance.

Both the couples swayed together on the tunes of a romantic Bollywood song which garnered applause from the audience.

Recalling the performance, Ali said: "Rubina and I had rehearsed for this dance performance. We both were pleasantly surprised when Jackky and Neha decided to join us on stage."

"It went smoothly with all four of us coordinating the dance steps in a proper fashion. It was a lovely experience to dance with both the stars."

The show will be aired March 17 on the day of the festival of colours.
