TV actress Narayani Shastri, who shot to fame with her roles in serials like 'Piya Ka Ghar' and 'Kyun Ki...', is all set to debut on the big screen with Hindi flick 'Na Ghar Ke Na Ghat Ke'.

The movie has been produced and directed by Rahul Aggarwal, who also doubles up as the main lead in the movie.

"I was involved with some behind the scene aspects of the movie 'Na Ghar..' right from the beginning. Though many girls were auditioned for the part, none fitted the bill. At that time, Rahul suggested me to do the lead," the 31-year-old told PTI.

Narayani said the shift to the movie world was completely unplanned. "I never plan anything in my life. My experience has been man proposes and God disposes. Therefore, it is better to go with the flow.

The 'Jersey Shore' issue was finally solved. The cast who was threatening MTV with quiting the series, has in the end agreed to come back for the second season.

The offer on which they had to decide was $10,000 per episode, but we don't know if the cast coming back means that every star has accepted the ultimate amount or if they succeeded to settle for more. We only know that Vinny accepted MTV's $10,000 per episode offer. We also know that Snooki, Pauly D and The Situation want the right to appear at as many clubs and other venues a week.
