Yash Chopra

She's created programming that's defining Indian television programming even today. Ekta Kapoor has been recognised for her efforts with many an award. Now she has been nominated for another one - this time it is in the entertainment category of the 6th annual Teacher's Achievement Awards. The award is scheduled to be handed over to the Balaji Telefilms creative director on 25 November at the Grand in New Delhi.

Blame it on an injured foot, but Maniee De, who prefers to be called Maninee Mihir Misra now, has had to turn down a role in Yash Chopra's next flick, a Shah Rukh Khan starrer. The bubbly actor, who suffered torn ligaments in her ankle when she slipped on the staircase of the <em>Sarrkkar</em> sets on 7 March, is still recuperating, having spent a better part of the time with her foot in a cast.
