Sony Entertainment Television’s Hum Hai Na has taken an interesting turn as Bunty is once again caught between the two most important women in his life - his wife and his mother. When Bunty was getting married to Saagarika, Ammaji had taken a promise from Bunty that he will not consummate his marriage with Saagarika till the time she doesn’t accept her as her daughter-in-law. When Saagarika, an independent and modern girl, comes to know about this, she is extremely hurt and upset with her mother-in-law. Furious with the way things are turning with her marriage with Bunty because of Ammaji, Saagarika files a case against Ammaji on the basis of conjugal rights. Torn between the women in his life, this again proves to be a testing time for Bunty.

•       Albert R. Broccoli’s 007 Stage: The world famous 007 stage at Pinewood was built in 1976 for the Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me. After a search across Europe, the Bond producers failed to find a stage large enough to house the three submarines the scene required, so they decided to build a new stage and tank specifically for that film.  The 007 stage remains one of the largest sound stages in the world.

Not ones to shy away, both the Karans pulled up their jerseys to give the audience an eyeful of their packs! Here have a look and decide for yourself…which Karan do you like better?
