This week, the audiences will see a special mahasangam between two of ZEE TV's popular shows Kaala Teeka and Meri Saasu Maa. The current track of Meri Saasu Maa sees high voltage drama where Sattu (played by Pearl V Puri) parts ways with his wife Pari (played by Hiba Nawab) and is getting married to Roop (Played by Aanchal Khurana), a dancer from UP. It's a conspiracy by Pari and Sattu as this is the only way they can get to the bottom of Maa Saab's death and Baba Saab's real motive behind coming back to the family. To help them in this mission are Gauri (Simran Pareenja) and Yug (Rohan Gandotra) of Kaala Teeka. The family is totally unaware of Pari and Sattu's conspiracy and are busy preparing for his wedding with Roop. Sattu's friends throw a bachelor's party for him and organise a dance performance. This lavish celebration will have a sizzling dance performance by actor Shamita Shetty on the currently popular dance number 'Oye Oye' from the film Azhar .
Speaking about her dance cameo, Shamita shared that she will be dancing at Sattu's Bachelor party as Shamita Shetty. She love dancing and have previouslydone a dance cameo in a fiction show. However, this time around, along with a dance performance, she has a small part to play as well. The song, 'Oye oye', is quite peppy and yet has elements of mystery. The dance moves required her to wear something light yet sexy. So she chose a white lace dress, which is easy to carry and pretty at the same time. It's a beautifully choreographed act with sensuous moves. She has thoroughly enjoyed performing on Meri Saasu Maa. Hope the audiences like her act.

In order to escape from her 2015 morphs into Ojha, but Bhavna and Bhairavi get on his case once again. Petrified, 2015 (as Ojha) starts flying in the air and vanishes.

Chandigarh 30th May;- The young and attractive Aishwarya Khare who has won hearts as the mysterious Apu or Vishkanya of television is set to charm you with an all-new look on the show. Aishwarya will be seen in an avatar that is sure to take you by surprise. A complete departure from her current look of simple salwar kameezes in plain pastels, one-sided dupattas, no jewellery and minimal make-up, Aishwarya will enjoy a more glamorous and bewitching look for her on-screen engagement with Malay (played by Vin Rana).
A delighted Aishwarya shared that she had sported a very simple look till now on the show but during the shoot of her engagement, she got an opportunity to get more glamorous attire. She had to look like a bride. It required a completely different look in terms of hair, make-up and zeroing down on the right accessories to go with the lehenga. It was quite a task. It took us three days of trying numerous lehengas and sarees, experimenting with different hair and make-up to decide the final look. We chose a heavily embellished orange lehenga with a beige dupatta. To add to the look, she chose bright red lipstick, a smoky bold effect for her eyes and wore very elegant, classy kundan and pearl jewellery. She loved the look but what she enjoyed the most was the entire process of narrowing down to the final attire and accessory. It really was fun and she received quite a few compliments too.
On the show, we see Malay and Apu's engagement comes to a standstill when Vardaan (Prachi Sinha) suddenly runs in, snatches and throws away Malay's engagement ring. Malay takes a tough stand, asking Vardaan and Renu to leave the house and announces that he will handle all the arrangements and get married to Apu within ten days.

Chandigarh 28th May:- इस समय ग्रह की दशा के अनुसार गुरु चंडाल योग चल रहा है। इस योग में शिक्षकों एवं गुरुओं पर भारी समस्याऐं आती है। यां यु भी कह सकते है कि यह योग शिक्षकों एंव गुरुओं पर भारी होता है। यह कहना है ज्योतिषी प्रमोद अग्रवाल का । प्रमोद अग्रवाल ने यह शब्द अपने आफिस में ज्योतिष के बारे में बताते हुए कहे। उन्होनें आगे कहा मंगल शनि युति राजनीति श्रेत्र में उथल पुथल का माहौल पैदा करती है।
प्रमोद अग्रवाल पिछले पंह्रह सालों से ज्योतिष का अध्ययन कर रहे है। इसके लिए उन्होनें राजुपरा से अपने गुरुओ स्व. संजय चोपड़ा जी राजपुरा वाले और रामेश्वर कुमार जी सरहिंद वालों से शिक्षा प्राप्त की। परंतु पिछले तीन साल से वो समाजसेवा के लिए लोगों को अपनी विद्या से लाभांवित कर रहे है। अब उन्होनें अपना जीवन ज्योतिष को समर्पित कर दिया है। इसक्रम में उन्होनें एनएसी के एससीओ 842 के प्रथम तल पर एस्ट्रोकेयर नाम से ज्योतिष कार्यालय शुरू किया है।
प्रमोद अग्रवाल ने आगे बताया कि वो लाल किताब और वैदिक दोनों ही प्रकार से अपने यजमानों के उपाय करवाते है। इसके चलते हजारों लोग उनकी विद्या से फायदा उठा चुके है। उन्होनें बताया कि ज्योतिष लोगों को कष्ठ से निवारण दिलवाने के लिए उपयोगी साबित होता है। परंतु कर्मो के हिसाब से लोगों फल जरूर मिलता है।
उन्होनें आगे बताया कि लाल किताब के उपाय पारंपरिक ज्योतिष उपायों से भिन्न है। वैदिक उपाय थोडे खर्चीले दीर्घकालिक और परिश्रम वाले है , जिनमें धनराशि ज्यादा लगती है। वहीं लाल किताब के उपाय आसान कम खर्चीले और कम समय में हो जाते है। जोकि आज के व्यस्त जीवन में संभव है। ज्योतिष के मूल रूप से दो भाग हैं। इनमें से एक है सिद्धांत और दूसरा है फलित। सिद्धांत पक्ष में ज्योतिष का वह भाग है जो खगोलीय गणनाओं से संबंधित है और इन गणनाओं में से ज्योतिष के उपयोग में आने वाली गणनाओं का इस्तेमाल किया गया है। जैसे कि आकाश को 360 डिग्री में बांटकर उसका 12 बराबर भागों में विभाजन, नक्षत्रों की स्थिति, ग्रहों की गति और ग्रहण जैसी घटनाएं। आकशीय घटनाओं की पुख्ता जानकारी मिलने के बाद उनका मानव जीवन पर असर के बारे में अध्ययन ज्योतिष का फलित हिस्सा है।
प्राचीन या वैदिक कही जाने वाली भारतीय फलित ज्योतिष में उपचारों के लिए दान, जप,तप और पूजन का प्रावधान दिया गया था। यह कमोबेश ग्रहों की स्थिति के कारण बन रही खराब स्थितियों के लिए प्रायश्चित की तरह था, लेकिन उपयोगी था और लाल किताब ने उपायों की एक नई श्रंखला की शुरूआत की। जोकि मितव्ययी सुगम और कम समय में होने वाले और आज की व्यस्त जीवन श्रंखला के अनुसार आसान है। जिसके हर कोई आसानी से कर सकता है । यहां दोनों विद्याओं लाल किताब और वैद्धिक द्वारा आदिदैहिक,आदिभौत्तिक और अध्यात्मिक मानसिक हर समस्याओं का समाधान होता है। दोनों विद्याऐं अपने आप में संपूर्ण है इसमें कोई भी शक या संदेह नही है।
