Mumbai, March 22 (IANS): Actress Deepika Singh, best known for her role as IPS officer Sandhya Rathi in "Diya Aur Baati Hum", is taking motherhood tips from her friend Divyanka Tripathi -- all for an upcoming track of the show.

Deepika's character Sandhya is seen welcoming twin sons in the show, and to build a good bond with her onscreen children, Deepika has sought the help of Divyanka, who shares a great onscreen and offscreen camaraderie with her 'reel' step-daughter Ruhi from TV show "Ye Hai Mohabbatein".

"I really admire the bond Divyanka shares with Ruhi onscreen and offscreen as I have met them several times. In fact, even the audiences love their camaraderie and canÂ’t take their eyes off the adorable bond between the two," Deepika said.

“So, when it came to doing homework for my role, the first person who came to my mind was Ishima (Divyanka), and after speaking to her, I am all the more kicked about the new track on the show,” Deepika said in a statement.

Asked about some of the tips she got from Divyanka, Deepika said:: “I plan to implement the tips of spending time offscreen with the kids so that when we are in front of the camera, the bonding is natural.”

“Diya Aur Baati Hum” is aired on Star Plus.

When Rithvik Dhanjani surprised Asha Negi

TV actress Asha Negi got a surprise visit from her boyfriend Rithvik Dhanjani after she injured her nose while performing a stunt on the adventure reality show "Khatron Ke Khiladi Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns" in Cape Town.

Filmmaker and show host Rohit Shetty applauded Asha's spirit of not giving up the stunt, regardless of the pain she suffered.

"It was extremely sweet of Rithvik to come all the way to Cape Town. I felt rejuvenated again as it had become really stressful and hectic performing those daredevil stunts," Asha said in a statement.

Since Asha was unwell, the couple went for a subtle dinner along with the rest of the participants of the show, which is aired on Colors.
