It's amazing how KBC2 is steaming along without any of the hype that accompanied it the last time. The episode to watch, though, will be the one where Abhishek Bachchan will appear with his sister, Shweta Nanda, for the first time together after the entire family showed up on Simi Garewal's show.

The Bachchan family's night out on TV has all the ingredients of a blockbuster and to make it happen, Abhishek is taking a two-day break from the New York shoot of Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.

When he's here, Abhishek will also shoot for the music video for his debut as hip-hop artiste. He's doing the number, "Right Here, Right Now," for his good friend Rohan Sippy's next film, Bluff Master. The film, styled by Aki Narula, notwithstanding Suneet Varma's rants, will feature this season's ultimate style statement, the diamond-studded knuckle duster.

If this sounds like a lot of hard work to be packed into two days, Abhishek can take comfort from the fact that his father is also racing against time. Bachchan Sr. has to complete his KBC2 episodes so that he can join his son on the sets of KANK, next year's most-awaited film where SRK plays a football coach. And the Big B, Johar insists, has a really cool look that will confirm his rock star status in the industry.
