Shraddha Nigam with boyfriend Karan Singh

Shraddha Nigam's boyfriend Karan Singh is in trouble. His Dill Mill Gaye (Sanjivani 2) co-actor Sonia Singh has gone bonkers over him. So far, it's a one-sided affair.On the sets of Dill Mill Gaye, Sonia goes all out to take care of Karan. Says a source, "During lunch break, Sonia keeps asking Karan if he's eaten food. When he eats late, she gets very worried. During her free time, between the shots, she tries to spend as much time possible with him. She talks to him very lovingly. It can be seen in her eyes when she speaks to him. We don't need to wear glasses to understand what's happening."

Our source also says that she has been brooding about the fact that she can't get Karan's attention and of late, has even got into drinking. She has been crying to her friends that she has gone crazy about Karan.


Sonia Singh
An actor from Dill Mill Gaye, reveals, on condition of anonymity, "Many actors got together and explained to Sonia that she should control her feelings for Karan, else she will ruin her marriage. But she just does not listen."

When contacted, Sonia says, "I like Karan as a co-actor and everybody on the sets likes him. I don't look at him differently."

Sonia was only 17 years old when she got married to Avinash Bobby, who has written for serials like Kamal and Koi Apna Sa, but is currently unemployed. When asked about her marriage of 10 years, she says, "I am happy with Bobby and my marriage is not on the rocks. I am staying with my husband."

However, Karan chooses to take the safe route. He feigned ignorance about Sonia's feelings. However, a family friend of Karan says, "Karan can't do much about Sonia. After all, she is a girl. He can't be aggressive with her. We hope this dies down."

When contacted, Karan's girlfriend Shraddha Nigam, says, "Many girls swoon over Karan. I take it in my stride."

The girl gang of Dil Mill Gaye has decided to stay away from Shraddha Nigam’s boyfriend Karan Singh. The actor outrageously flirts with all the women present on the serial’s sets despite having a steady girlfriend. Exasperated, the girl brigade decided to boycott him.

Says a crew member, “Everybody knows that Karan and Shraddha have been seeing each other for quite some time now. How can he hit on the other girls when he is already in a serious relationship? This is not funny any longer and is beginning to be a source of irritation.”

Another crew member confirms saying, “The girls are extremely offended and have decided to avoid him. When it comes to work, everyone is professional and co-operative but beyond that they maintain a distance from him. Poor Karan is yet to realise that!”

Shilpa Anand who plays Dr Riddhima Gupta in the show says, “I have come here to work and I don’t bother about what is happening on the sets. I don’t sit and chat with people. Karan is no exception. I don’t need to talk to him beyond my work.”

When asked about his Casanova act, she says, “There is no doubt that Karan is very flirtatious with the girls.”

Sonia Singh who plays Keerti Mehra, apparently, has a crush on him. She says, “I have decided not to talk with him as it will add fuel to the rumours. I prefer to stick to my work rather than react to baseless rumours.”

When contacted, Karan Singh seemed unaffected. “I have no qualms about admitting that I am a flirt. I am not here to marry anybody. I don’t think it should kick up such a huge fuss.” he says.

i face things as they come:shilpa


Hardly had she dreamt of becoming an actress until acting just happened to her.
A software professional otherwise, Shilpa Anand is gaining all the attention on the small screen these days for her character Dr Riddhima in serial Dill Mill Gayye . We caught up with this pretty gal when she recently paid a visit to the city.

So how has been her experience on TV like?

“It has really been great. I am just enjoying my work though the hours are very long. But I don’t feel that it’s my first time on television. That’s also because my co-stars are quite supportive,” she says.

Wonder why this switch from being a software professional to an actor?

“Making a career in acting was not a deliberate decision. It was actually on the insistence of some of my friends that I started taking modelling assignments which gradually led to getting film offers from the South, which I accepted. Down South my work even received a lot appreciation. And that’s how my journey in this line began. But at the moment I’m happy working on small screen as it has really raised my popularity graph.”

But with so many fresh faces on screen, we ask her what would make her stand apart from them?

“See, each actor has his own style of acting. So do I. At the same time I keep working to improvise my acting skills so that I can stand apart from my small screen counterparts.”

Having done modelling too, we next ask her, what does she prefer between modelling and acting and she takes off, “There is a big difference between the two. In modelling one needs to be focussed for you have the responsibility of endorsing a brand while in acting the attention is shared by the other co-stars as well which makes it a bit convenient for the actor. Therefore I feel acting much easier then modelling.”

What plans for the future?

“See I don’t believe in planning things for future. I face things as they come. But yes I would definitely want to grow as an actor and that people know me for my acting. Be it comedy, romantic or thrillers I would like to try all of these and show my versatility.”

As she readies to leave we shoot one last question. What’s Shilpa doing when not acting? “Acting is a hectic job. So whenever I get time you’d find me sleeping. Also in order to maintain my figure and keep myself fit going to the gym is a part of my routine.”

KARAN"S INTERVIEW:
The serial now has pyar, masti, emotions and betrayal has Karan playing the young intern Dr. Arman Malik. "Arman the son of a doctor. He is confident, spoilt and flirtatious. But he is a very good doctor too and is very serious about his work," says Karan.

He says Arman is both serious and fun-loving. He gets along well with the dean’s elder daughter, also an intern, Dr. Anjali Gupta and romance starts brewing between the two. But before the relationship evolves any further, complications arise and Arman falls in love with the dean’s younger daughter Dr. Ridhima. "I am expecting everyone to love the show. It’s not a normal family drama. The new interns are full of spunk, commitment, energy and the story has lot of drama. It also explores the complex world of relationships," says the actor who is having great time working for the show. "We have lot of fun on the sets. The idea is to enjoy your work and when you are happy you tend to work better."

Karan is a fitness freak and loves swimming besides playing basketball and volleyball. But he is not a party animal. "I am not into parties and late nights. I have a few close friends but they aren’t from the TV industry," he signs off

Shilpa Anand, the gorgeous Riddhima of Star One’s Dill Mill Gayye is passionate about computers. Wondering why? Well, Shilpa before taking to modeling was a Software Developer and was working in a Software Firm. “Yes, I was working as a software developer for few months; modeling was always a hobby for me, but then, I thought of taking up modeling assignments for a profession”, says Shilpa.

Apart from being a successful model, Shilpa has done over 50 ads. Shilpa is also fond of horse riding. Says the model turned actress, “Horse riding is a very passionate sport to be involved in. When I was in USA, I used to ride a lot. But now, with a full-fledged TV career, I am not able to devote much time to horse riding”.

So what is Shilpa passionate about these days? “I love to listen to music; whenever I want to take it easy after a strenuous shooting schedule, I want music for my ears. So Music is a passion which is more of a stress buster for me”, says Shilpa. “I love to surf net and whenever I am free, I keep in touch with my friends thro’ chat”, adds the actress.

Many stars take to the small screen first, and then make their way to the big screen. But for Shilpa, it is the other way round, as the ravishing actress has run around trees in few Kannada as well as Telugu films. A lesser known fact is that, Shilpa happens to be the sister of the very popular and successful actress of the South, Sakshi Shivanand. “I had a great passion to work in films, have done films in Telugu and Kannada. I have also worked in a Hindi film ‘Ikraar By Chance’. When I entered films, my sister had already made it big there; my mother who used to accompany my sister and stay with her down south, advised me to take up something, where she need not accompany me.(laughs) So when I got an offer for Dill Mill Gayye, I grabbed it with both hands”, says Shilpa with a smile on her face.

Shooting schedules can be really stressful, so how does Shilpa cope up with all this? What is it that acts as a stress buster to you? “I do breathing exercises in the morning; also try few chanting techniques and meditation. This gives me a relaxed feeling. I also take to jogging and swimming after a hard day’s work. I guess these are good ways of being healthy in mind and heart”, says the fitness freak, Shilpa

Dill Mill Gayye" has succeeded in drawing the audience, your reaction?
I am glad of course. I am playing Dr. Riddhima Gupta, an intern at Sanjeevni, and the daughter of Sushank Gupta, the dean of the hospital, played by Monish Behl. I have a sister named Dr. Anjali Gupta who often gets irritated with me. And then there is Dr. Armaan who troubles me a lot.

This is your first television appearance, how has the experience been so far?
It has been good so far. Television requires commitment on the part of the actor, it has long work hours. It's hectic but what keeps me motivated is the contentment. After all, hectic schedules are part of all daily soaps. I have been lucky that the whole production team has been very co-operative.











How did you get this role?
They just called and said they wanted me to do this role and I agreed. They took a look test and I was on board.

You have a sister in real life and in this serial, too. So was it easy for you to introduce a few things from real life in your acting?
No, not at all. The chemistry with my real sister is completely different from that with my reel sister in the serial. In the show, my sister and I get into a lot of petty arguments.

You have got a lot of exposure in this serial, do you think you will be able to live up to the expectations of the audience?
I guess so. All I can say is that I will try my best.

How similar are you and the character of Dr. Ridhima Gupta?
Certain traces are similar. A few differences are also stark here and there. But we are very similar with regard to our approach to life. She is straightforward and doesn't take crap from anyone. Nor do I.

"Sanjeevni" is quite similar to "Dill Mill Gayye", which did very well in the start but later diverted from the main love story. Will the same happen with "Dill Mill Gayye"?
Frankly speaking, I haven't watched "Sanjeevni", but I don't think "Dill Mill Gayye" is similar to it. I don't know what turn "Sanjeevni" took in the end, but "Dill Mill Gayye" has a strong and interesting storyline that won't need to be changed later on.

Can you honestly tell us whether you faced any problems in adjusting with your coactors?
All of them were so good. I really had no problem in mixing

"I believe in god"

I'm religious and have faith in god. It's difficult to define god. Nobody has seen god. My belief in supernatural powers and positive attitude keeps me going.



"My spiritual side"

I don't follow any particular religion. I believe in spirituality and devote some time to prayers. However, I don't pray to any particular god.




"I can never fast"

I don't believe in fasting. The concept of fast is created by us and not by god. One can thank god by devoting prayers.



"I do believe in numerology"

I don't believe in astrology but do have faith in numerology. Numerology is a great guiding force as some numbers can create magic in your life



"I don't wish for anything"

I don't have any wishes and thank god for giving me everything. It's a human tendency to crave for more. I'm happy in whatever I have.



Music

I meditate while listening to soft music. It makes me feel calm and releases stress. I also love listening the sound of waves.



Books

I finished reading Creative Visualization. It taught me to start thinking positively. I've changed my living style and thinking after reading that book.

Known to be among the most popular vamps on Indian Television, Sonia is headed towards a drastic change to her stereotyped image. Sonia is a part of Star One’s - Dill Mill Gaye, where she plays the character of - Keerti Mehra, a strict doctor, who makes life difficult for the interns.

We talk to Sonia and get an insight to her character in the show, her future projects, and how does she feel about her versatile roles.

Tell us something about your role in the new show:

I play a character called - Keerti Mehra, who is a strict professor who makes life a little difficult for the interns. She isn’t a negative character, thank-fully (laughter).

How is it been playing a positive character for the first time on Indian television?

I am so glad that I am not playing a vamp. It was time I began doing something different. Its been a little difficult actually, playing positive. Between the shots, the director has to cut the shot, as my expressions look negative, so it was difficult at first, but I am sure soon, I’ll get the hang of it.

There have been rumors that you might return to KumKum, is that going to happen anytime soon?

I don’t know, I was to start shooting soon with them, but things didn’t work out, the production has asked me to join them, in the first week of September, lets see how that works out.

A final note take on your new show?

Its something very different, my character, the story, everything. So be on a lookout for Dil Mil Gaye.

hello every one this is an article of karan singh (armaan)
Q: What is your "Dill Mill Gayye" all about?
A: It's about five medical interns who are doing their internship in one of the best hospitals named Sanjevani. The serial follows their transformation from medical interns to practicing doctors.

Q: What is your character in the serial?
A: I am playing the role of one of the interns, Armaan Mallik. And how he is, you will all come to know soon. All I can say is he's a wonderful character.

Q: We have heard that it's a youth-oriented story…
A: Yes, very much so. But instead of having a bunch of college-going students we have five medical interns. I am sure that the youth will be interested in watching such a show. It has fun, intensity, seriousness that the study of medicine requires, plus the story of the GeNext.

Q: You were playing a character in "Solah Sringaar", but now it's off air. Any reasons?
A: Actually, I was not able to devote time there because "Dill Mill Gayye" was in progress. In "Solah Sringaar", my character is currently in London (laughs).

Q: Your debut was with Balaji. How was your experience of working with them?
A: Oh, it was just fantastic. I was lucky to have debuted under such a banner. They are extremely professional. I learned a lot there.

Q: So are you willing to work with them in the future?
A: I will be glad if I get a chance to work with them again.

Q: Out of all the characters you have played so far, which one is your favorite?
A: It has to be my character in "Dill Mill Gayye", the character of Armaan. The reason being the character is very much like me.

Q: New shows are going on air every other day. Do you think that in this highly-competitive market your show will be able to sustain itself?
A: We are hoping for the best, the rest depends on the taste of the audience. It's a fun-filled show, with a different look and feel to it. This show will definitely attract the young crowd and they are our target audience.

Q: Are you planning to switch to films?
A: Not exactly, I won't call it switching. I am part of two films which will be released soon. One is "Bhram" and the other is Subhash Sukla's "I am 24". I don't think at this point of time I will be shifting completely to films. That will depend largely upon the offers that I get.

Q: Many actors are opening up their own production houses, do you wish to do the same?
A: Haven't thought about it as yet.

Q: According to you, want kind of show will rule the market in the future --- family dramas or reality shows?
A: I think the audience is bored of family dramas that have dragged on for years now. I think reality shows will be the next happening things on television.

-(SAMPURN)

She's a small town girl with big dreams. It's precisely these dreams that brought Rohtak-born girl Sunaina Gulia to Mumbai. And ever since she landed in Mumbai, Sunaina has got ambitious by the day. After taking part in Miss India contest (2004), Sunaina took the Tellywood route. Sunaina will be seen in Star One's 'Dill Mill Gayye' - earlier titled 'Sanjeevani.'



"I play Anjali, who's one of Dean Dr.Shahsank Gupta's (Mohnish Bhel) daughter and she's one of the five interns. She's a very practical and ambitious girl, who dreams of becoming the head of Sanjeevani" said Sunaina.



When asked about her equation with her co-stars, she replied. "We are a great bunch. Not only do we have fun but we also create a ruckus on the sets. Things are going great since we have a youthful starcast." It's just not wit her young colleagues, Sunaina also shares a great rapport with acclaimed actor Mohnish Behl.



"He's an amazing guy. Normally, big stars just come on the sets, do their job and leave, but Mohnish is an exception. Initially I was a bit apprehensive but he's very humble and is always there to guide you. A key to success for any show is a healthy and free environment."



She might appear as a new face, but Sunaina has played the lead in serials like 'Kuch Love Kuch Masti,' 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na' and Kne Ghosh's 'Ada.' In between, she's also anchored a travel show ('Voyage').



Often models aren't rated much as actors. However, Sunaina has learnt this art from Anupam Kher's acting school. So is Anupam Kher a hard taskmaster? She replied, "Not at all. He's always been nice to us and he teaches himself," quips Haryanvi chori.



She was born in Haryana but Sunaina had the luxury of travelling to new places - courtesy her father's job. She's been to Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, Kolkata and the entire south India. Later, she did her graduation in Mass Comm, Advertising and PR from Delhi and that's when she moved to Mumbai.

hi guys i doen't know wether it has been seen before
it is a telugu film done by shilpa have a look


VISHNU: Better avoid it
By: Jalapathi Gudelli


Film: VISHNU
Cast: Vishnuvardhan Babu, Vedika, Murali Mohan, Jayasudha, Neethu Chandra and others.
Music: Ismail Darbar
Producer: M.Mohan Babu
Screenplay and direction: Shaji Kailas




This film is launching pad for veteran actor Mohan Babu's son Vishnu Vardhan Babu. To launch his son in a big way, Mohan Babu put extra efforts to rope in Malayalam film director Shaji Kailas and Bollywood music director Ismail Darbar. Had he showed little interest on story, the film would have been better.

These so-called good technicians and heavy budget have not helped in anyway to this formula film. Like most of the launching films of star sons, VISHNU too revolved around the hero's muscle power and dancing abilities. And Vishnuvardhan Babu has done good job in that but he has no ability to give a decent expression. It is the most boring film.




Vishnu (Vishnu Vardhan Babu) is an engineering student. When a classmate proposes him, he reveals that he has had a girlfriend, Vaishnavi(Vedika alias Shilpa Anand), when he was child, and he would marry only her despite both were separated fourteen years back. And our hero waits for her to come.

And luckily, she joins in his college. He doesn't reveal his identity and tries to win his love just like that. But she hates him seeing him fighting always with someone. She is the daughter of a faction leader. He arranges her marriage to his nephew. When she learns that Vishnu is her childhood lover err..friend, she elopes from her place and comes to Vishnu. Rest of the film is how Vishnu marries Vaishnavi resisting her father.




Vishnu has huge physique but his performance is not that so good. The film lacks story. It is rehashed version of so many films. Malayalam director Shaji Kailas has grip over technique, but when there is no content, technical gimmickry doesn't help much.

Saravan's cinematography deserves application. Bollywood music director Ismail Darbar fails to make an impact. All in all, better avoid watching this film.

You said you got 20 kisses in the promos. Is there any addition to it?

Sadly, there aren't anymore.

So that was only done to attract the viewers?

Yes, I agree. They used me to grab viewer's attention.

From what we've seen in the promos, the two sisters are in love with you but who do you like?

I get well along with Anjali but eventually I fall in love with Riddhima Gupta. So, this creates a rift between the two.

It's a medical show, so, you must have brushed your self with the requisite knowledge and skill?

No question about it. For the first time, I got to attend medical workshops where they showed us how to use instruments, dealing with patients and all the dos and don'ts for a doctor.

So, have you begun to practice in real life too?

Not at all. The only place we practice is at Sanjivani

Dil Mill Gayye, a second season of a popular show Sanjivani is all set to introduce two new characters. Apparently, the show's low TRPs are responsible for bringing in new characters. The show, that started off well is currently slogging to get improved TRP's.



Siddharth, the producer of the show says, "Low TRP's are not the only reason for introducing new characters but it was a demand of the story.
These characters will bring in new twists and turns in the tale. They'll obviously be doctors and not the interns as we already have five of them. They'll bring in lot of fun in the show."


Is Dil Mill Gayye doing as good as Sanjivani? "I'm not fine with the idea of comparing both the shows as they are completely different from each other. Sanjivani was more about doctors and their personal life. Whereas,
Dil…is all about the fun element in a young doctor’s life. It has everything to do with youth."


Can you elaborate on these two new characters? "If I tell you everything then nobody is going to watch the show. I would love people to come up with their response rather than me talking about the characters. Just wait and watch!"

An article about DMG :

I’m flirtatious and fun-loving’
Karan Singh Grover talks about girlfriend Shraddha Nigam and the show 'Dill Mill Gaye' to Shameem Khan

MUMBAI: Girls, eat your heart out. The dreamboat is not single anymore. “I am seeing Shraddha Nigam,” confirms actor Karan Singh Grover before launching into a litany about her. “She’s been an actress for a long time. This is a great help for a newcomer like me. Shraddha’s an extremely caring and happy person. She gives more than 100 per cent to a relationship.”
Fortunately, this hasn’t dimmed his popularity with the fairer sex.
“I am so glad that I am being liked by all. Probably, my character Armaan Malik in ‘Dill Mill Gaye’ is lovable. And trust me; I am just like him in real life—flirtatious, fun-loving and tension-free. I am serious about my work but apart from that I am always playing pranks on people.”

This reminds him of the incident with co-star Shilpa Anand.
“I am always punching her good-humouredly. Once we were performing a scene and I happened to punch her right on her lips. The poor thing had a swollen lip for a long time,” he laughs adding, “But she’s a good friend.”

Though the show ‘Dill Mill Gaye’ is popular, the consensus is that it’s deviating from the basic storyline.

“Yes, I have got that response too. There was a romantic angle between Shilpa and me. But now, we are consciously getting back to the hospital saga,” he clarifies.

Right now, it’s just this show which is taking up all of Karan’s time. “However, I am open to all kinds of work—social drama, travel shows and even films. It’s good work that I am craving for

How did you get this role?

They had called me for the audition. Sapna is a Gujarati and so they wanted someone who can speak a bit of Gujarati. I am from Ahmedabad so I can speak the language very well. They just took a look test as they were searching for an innocent, soft face. And to my fortune, I had what they required.

How similar is the character to the real you?

This girl belongs to a middle-class family and is docile in nature. She doesn't react even if someone talks rudely with her. She lives for her dream. I am somewhat like her and even I hail from a middle-class family.


What do you feel about the show?

This is a very youthful show, made keeping in mind the GeNext. The audience will not see saas, bahu, bhabhi, and other such relations. It's about medical students and their journey towards achieving their professional dreams. They are all from different backgrounds and have different personalities. While someone is sober, someone is negative, yet another is a cool dude. It's about their ups and downs in life. I am sure the audience would like it.


How much fun did you all have during the making of this show?

Oh, we had a ball on the sets. The main reason could be that we are all of the same age group.


Did you do some research before playing a doctor in this serial?

Yes, we all had attended workshops of Dr. Junaid. We learnt how to administer injections. And it was very much needed, as medicine is a very serious profession. If we were not acquainted with the basics we would look funny, and that we just couldn't afford. We can't make fun of such a profession.


Do you think the audience would appreciate "Dill Mill Gayye"?

My character is realistic and even my dialogues are simple. I can say that there is a 50 per cent chance that the audience will like my character, and I am 100 per cent sure that they will like the show. I am happy being part of this show and very excited.


How similar is "Dill Mill Gayye" to "Sanjivani"?

I used to watch "Sanjivani". "Dill Mill Gayye" is different from that serial. It's just that the name of the hospital is Sanjivani, and the dean is Mohnish Behl. Apart from these, all the characters and the story are totally different.


Do you feel the audience needs a break from the stereotyped family dramas?

Well, one can't deny the fact that family dramas are still popular. When a production house comes up with a concept it's made for a target audience. The way our show was made keeping youth in mind. Similarly, family shows are made to cater to homemakers. And believe me, the market for family shows is huge in India. The rest depends upon the audience.


What other projects are in the pipeline?

I have a part in Sajid Khan's directorial debut "Heyy Babyy". And as of now, I am occupied with "Dill Mill Gayye". May be after three-four months, I will look for something. I always like experimenting with roles, so if in the near future I get a chance to act on the big screen, I will definitely try that out depending upon the offer.

Last week saw the introduction of two new Interns into Sanjeevani. These new Interns are from the Punjab branch of Sanjeevani.
Both the new Interns made a grand entry into the show. Each of them leaving an impression of their individuality.


Introducing first, Doctor Muskaan Chadda. Muskaan Chadda is a young Intern of Sanjeevani from Amritsar (Punjab). Being a thorough Punjabi at soul but modern at heart, Muskaan's attire very well defines her attitude towards life.Clad in a pair of jeans, short embellished kurti, long dangling earrings, fluorescent coloured scarf that holds her lovely curly locks, Muskaan is the incessant chatterbox who views the world through rose coloured spectacles.Travels through the roads of life on her 'Dhanno' - a yellow coloured Scooty! 'Dhanno' is an indispensable part of her life, with whom she shares all her light & low moments.

Everything looks pink and beautiful in her life. For her, life is fun and a game – to be enjoyed to the fullest.A firm believer in God, she turns to her 'Babaji' for help whenever she finds herself in a fix! She's chirpy & amiable & makes new friends in a jiffy! There's never a dull moment with Muskaan around! The only rival in Muskaan's life is our next new Intern - Doctor Rahul Garewal.

Doctor Rahul Garewal. He is the new stylish doctor of Sanjeevani. Well behaved, he knows how to woo girls with his good mannerisms. He is the kind of guy, every girl would like to take home to her parents! Speed is in his blood & racing is his passion. Well dressed, well mannered, confident, thats Dr. Rahul today. But this was not the case earlier. He has a past to deal with. During his college days, our Dr. Rahul was a geek, clad in loud, out-fashioned shirts & those nerdy-type thick-rimmed spectacles. But that's history now! Today he stands tall with all the girls drooling over him!


Dr. Muskaan & Dr. Rahul were at logger-heads in Sanjeevani (Punjab) too & hence the very sight of each-other at their new work-place left them fuming with anger! Dr. Armaan & Dr. Riddhima had to rush to rescue the situation!


Now that all's not well between Dr. Armaan & Dr. Riddhima & two new Interns have been introduced too, there are surely some fireworks to be seen! Lets see what life has in store for these young doctors! More twists-&-turns are expected!

hi guys here is an article hope u all will enjoy it

Dill Mill Gayye is a show aimed at the urban educated youth. Set in Sanjeevani Hospital, it deals with the pressures, the drama, the romance, the interpersonal relationships and humour in the lives of young doctors.
The protagonist, Riddhima (Shilpa Anand) is a 21-year-old intern with dreams of becoming a top doctor. Like any other youngster of today, she has spunk and the spirit to have fun. What sets her apart is her ability to ride through the roughest storms relying on the honesty and integrity, which has been a part of her upbringing. Riddhima has all the ingredients of being a competent yet compassionate doctor and her faith never falters when following the right path in complex medical cases or a real life situations.
Alongside Riddhima several other young characters, representing the wide and varied lifestyles in India are present. The spitfire, focused and at times selfish Anjali, the rich, charming and laid-back lover boy Armaan, the anxious to please Gujarati, middle class girl Sapna and the always sweet appealing to all girls is Atul.
It has been revealed that Atul is the adopted son of Omi, one of the protagonists in the first season of Sanjeevani. It has also been revealed that although Riddhima and Anjali are sisters, they are in fact only half-sisters. Padma, one of the nurses in Sanjeevani, is the birth mother of Riddhima.
[edit] Characters
• Dr. Shashank Gupta
He is the head of Sanjeevni hospital and has spent his entire career as a doctor for this hospital and its patients. He is considered a 'God' in the world of surgery and all interns wait for an opportunity to assist him in the operation theater. Dr Shanshank is an idol not only for interns but also other resident doctors of Sanjeevani. Dr Shashank's two daughters Riddhima and Anjali are world to him and all he wants is to see his daughters become competent doctors. Both Riddhima and Anjali come to Sanjieevani to do their internship but get no special treatment for being the daughters of the head of the hospital.Played by Mohnish Behl.
• Dr Riddima Gupta
Riddhima is a 21 year old, warm hearted, kind and good-natured girl. This single most important thing in her life along with being a good human being is her dream to make her father, Shashank Gupta proud off her achievements in the medical arena. She is intelligent and modern in her outlook to life, and yet respects and represents all the core Indian values. Quick to forgive and forget, at the same time she will not take blatant injustice lying down. Riddhima's weak spot is Anjali, as she allows Anjali to always get the better from her, but that again is not a sign of her weakness. She does so simply because her nature is amenable to everything. Yet, there is one person, an intern like her in Sanjeevani, who manages to get a rise out of the generally very easy going Riddhima. How much ever Riddhima tries to ignore Armnaan, she unexplainably cannot.Played by Shilpa Anand.
• Dr. Armaan Mallik
22 year old Armaan represents the new age man; one who is self confident, efficient, cheeky and occasionally even smug. He is also extremely handsome and gives the impression of being a skirt chaser. He enjoys female company and makes no bones about the fact that he has a weakening knee effect on women. He is used to being the centre of female attention and also knows how to sustain that attention when he does receive it. Armaan comes from an affluent family and has never wanted for anything materialistic ever in his life. But beneath the suave and confident exterior lies a focussed doctor, whose sole aim is to outgrow the stigma of being the son of an alcoholic anesthesiologist. Played by Karan Singh Grover.
• Dr. Anjali Gupta
Anjali at 22, is Shashank's older daughter and is basically one who is used to having her way. Extremly beautiful, she is quiet conscious of her looks and not above using them .She is manipulative and conniving. In addition she is also academically intelligent, making her a god doctor in her own right, though she is never a favourite amongst the patience, owing to her to-the-point attitude. Her ultimate aim is to be the head of the organisation Sanjeevani, as it means that she will have power, respectability. And it will declare her as the fitting heir apparent to Shashank's legacy. She will employ all the methods of saam, daam, dand and bhed to get whatever she sets her eyes on. Anjali's manipulative ways are most obvious in the way she handles her sister Riddhima.Played by Sunaina Gulia.
• Dr. Atul Joshi
A lovable character, Atul is the best guy friend a girl can ever have, without ever making him a real boy friend. He is a good natured, easy going boy, who has become a doctor to fulfill the wish of his dead father, who is part of Sanjeevani alumni. His father worshiped Sanjeevani and Shashank Gupta and he has come to the place of his father's worship to pay his tribute t the man who adopted him. He is always treated like one of the girls when girlie talks are being discussed. When he realizes certain people cannot be changed, he takes mater into his own hands and empties trash, puts cups in trash and carries his own porcelain cup so that the use of Styrofoam cups in Sanjeevani can be reduced.Played by Pankit Thakker.
• Dr. Sapna Shah
She is a simple girl from a simple, yet reasonably rich Gujarati household. She is the youngest of three daughters and her father always encouraged her to do what she wanted. Having seen her older sisters married off and straddled with bawling children early in their life, she escaped in the direction of a possible career, with the intention that it would be a legitimate excuse for the family to delay her marriage. Her mother is possessive and she is always trying to make excuses for her mothers over domineering and loving over indulgence. She gets a dabba full of Gujrathi food, large enough to feed all the interns. And she has to very often leave work early, or keep Friday evenings free to meet a potential match.Played By Muskaan Mehani.

Getting to know anchor Mayank Anand

Anchor vs Actor
Anchoring is a different ball game. I had thought that it was piece of cake but it isn’t. As an actor you balance the act with your co-actors. But as an anchor, it’s a solo take. However, it’s exciting to carry the show on your shoulders.

‘Cine Song’
It’s a one-hour show that covers a three-hour film. All the favourite scenes, songs and trivia surrounding the film are presented. The theatre ambience allows you to sit for three hours, but at home you want to view something racy. Here nostalgia is recaptured and memory refreshed. I have always loved Hindi cinema and researching for every show is fun.

Friendship
An ideal friend is one who stands by me, no matter what comes my way. He can tell me, ‘Dude you are wrong!’

Ideal woman
She should be spunky, independent, a go-getter and have her head on her shoulders. More than being pretty, she should be somebody I could sit down and talk to with a glass of wine. I should be able to relate to her on a mental level.

Turn-on
A good conversation is a major turn-on! Also eyes speak a lot. I find the fragrance of Pleasures by Estee Lauder very sensual on a woman.

Romance
I am a die-hard romantic though I would forget birthdays and anniversaries. But any random Tuesday I would surprise my woman by buying her flowers. It’s like saying, ‘I have had a long day but I did think of you.’ No breakfast- in-bed for me, rather it would be an open-air meal. I would love to cook it myself since I am an experimental chef.

Lust
It is a human trait. It means a strong desire for something and it need not only be sexual. I lust for good work!

Books
I can read everything under the sun except self-help books. My top books are Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights.

Philosophy
Live and let live, and we all will be happy. Don’t judge people. If they are happy doing what they are, let them be.

De-stress
I cook, read, paint or sleep my stress way. I like old-school rock music. But at home I like to have my quiet time and read.

An unknown side
I am very short-tempered. I am a cranky riser and need some time with my newspaper and chai. There is a difference between getting up and waking up.

God
I am not religious. But if my mother asks me to accompany her to the temple, I do so because I don’t like her going alone. Giving God ultimatums like, ‘If You want me to believe in You, then You have to do this for me,’ doesn’t work. My sense of energy is myself.

Mayank Anand anchors ‘Cine Song’ on Zee Muzic

Shraddha is going great guns in her personal life as well. She has managed to find her love in Karan Singh Grover. "I am really excited to have him in my life. Karan is a wonderful person. He is extremely fun loving and a very positive guy," says the blushing beauty.

How does she rate Karan the actor? "I feel his new role in Dill Mill Gayye is the best so far. Karan is a brilliant actor. When I was shooting for my new show in Goa, everyday I would create some scene to ensure that I see Karan's show on television!", says the excited lover girl. The duo was even supposed to take part in Nach Baliye, but due to clash of dates for Shraddha, it did ot materialise.

in addition to neethi's!:-

Karan Singh Grover : Did numerology help him? By changing your surname can you change your fortune as well?? Well oh well, in his case all this contemplations are proving to be true! As soon as he added 'Grover' to his surname, he hit the jackpot with Dil mill Gayye and now he is the latest “Armaan” of millions of girls! From playing a hardcore negative guy in Kasauti, to this role is no less an achievement. In a short span of time, he has erased the memory of being a rapist, a guy who never had any respect for women. He truly deserves to be in our Top Ten, and a tag of one of the most Eligible Bachelor!

Name, fame, recognition, appreciation, awards, fanfare and a chance to work with superstar Amitabh Bachchan is surely the dream goal of so many wannabe and established stars. But all this and more has been achieved by a little girl who is just 9 years old. Whether be it as Chaitali Thakkar in Television or as Amitji’s neighbour and confidante in the movie “Cheeni Kum” – Swini Khara has aced it all. Winner of ITA Best child artist (female) award in 2007, this girl has achieved with her dedication and sincerity what many can only dream of.

How does it feel to get an award, she was asked and we get the prompt reply, “I feel very much happy and it is a great achievement. Getting an award is a very good experience as you get the results of your work”. At such a tender age, such maturity in expression is really amazing. When she was asked if she liked her role as “Chaitali”, she replied in the affirmative saying that she enjoys playing the sweet and naughty character of Chaitali very much. But she makes sure to point out that she is not exactly like Chaitali, “I am not naughty like Chaitali, but I share one plus point with her. She always comes first in class and I do too.” But what if Swini is asked to be as naughty as Chaitali - would she be? “I can do that. But I want to be a good simple girl who studies and want to work more and go ahead in my life”, is her reply that shows how grounded the girl is. Swini shared that they have a lot of fun on the sets of Baa Bahu aur Baby and together with Gattu (Deven Bhojani) has a great time playing. Deven incidently also happens to be her favorite. "He is the funniest, and it is great fun having him around”, she quipped.

When she was asked about her experience as far as Bollywood goes, “Bollywood is “The bollywood” – the place where all actors want to be”, she exclaimed and then added, “Bollywood is so popular and just being a part of it is a great experience. Till now I have achieved what I wanted to on TV and I want to work a lot harder and love to get all the bollywood awards.” So how was it working with Big B? She sounded too excited and fondly tells how she enjoyed the experience thoroughly. She also told how shocked she was when she came to know about her selection in Cheeni Kum, and adds excitedly, “I just could not believe that I am working with ‘THE’ Amit uncle – he is such a big star!". Is there is any other actor she wants to work with? Pat came her reply, “Hrithik Roshan”.

Swini is surely a wonder kid. A topper in all forms of life; a girl with innocence in her voice, oozing maturity in her work, this girl has miles to go and great things to achieve in life..

[neetz_kallu]

Your Nickname: Sweetu

Your Best Personal Quality: Sincerity and Optimism.

Your Weak Point according to you: My naivety. I easily believe everything and everybody and take everything at it�s face value. That has caused me a lot of grief and pain.

Your Biggest Influence is: The biggest influence in my life has been my own optimism. I have complete faith in myself. That is why even when everyone had advised, even warned me against becoming an actor as they thought I would never make it, even my astrological charts seem to say so, I kept faith in myself and finally became what I wanted to.

If you could go back in time you would...? : I would want to born as a star son so that I could at least get a launch vehicle.

If you could be anyone else you would be...?: No one. I am happy the way I am.

Greatest gift you have ever received: To be honest, nothing noteworthy as such.

First thing that you do when you wake up every morning : I go to the kitchen and make myself a cup of tea. It is something I like to do myself, as I am very particular about the way I have my morning cuppa.

Your best role so far: I enjoyed shooting for Special Squad. Sometimes, you click with everyone on the sets. Special Squad was like that. Starting from the spot boy to the camera person to the actors to the script writers, everyone bonded there. We had a fabulous time. Also, my the role I played in Kabhi Sautan Kabhi Saheli I believe had many shades to it, and it�s very close to my heart.

Working in Dill Mill Gayye has been : It has been very different, and very professional. Because of the tight shooting schedules, we have not have had quality bonding time. Everyone keeps to their make up vans if they are not shooting, and the atmosphere is highly professional and driven. I love it that way as I also love the time I get to myself.

[neetz_kallu]

Does the name Armaan ring a bell in your ears? Of course yes, because Armaan is a name that has always been associated with name, fame, success and a huge fan following. At first, Apurva Agnihotri achieved enormous success playing the role of Armaan Sir in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi. Now, the new Armaan to rock the television world is Karan ‘Dr. Armaan’ Grover who has set all hearts thumping with his looks and charming personality in Star one’s Dill Mill Gayye.

As bubbly and energetic as his character, Karan Grover talks about his character and much more, read on.

How is it playing Dr. Armaan? “It’s been awesome playing Dr. Armaan. I relate a lot to the character I play, so I need not put in much effort. I need to go there, play myself and get back. The best part is that, there is no need for me to act for the role. This is the way I am. The plus is that, I get paid for being myself on the sets.(laughs)”

How is it being a part of a serial, centered on youth? How did you all get on so well? “Yes, all come from different backgrounds, but we connected together so well. We got comfortable with each other in no time. We built up great chemistry and that too very fast. It is a serial for the youth, and about youth. We all understand our roles very well. Moreover, I feel, playing our age, we can relate to our characters better. Our Director Nizar Parvez is also young, so he understands everything so nicely. It’s really good to be working under a young director. To me, it does not seem like work. It is a dream role for me, and I am having fun.”

Is there any difference between Armaan and Karan? “The only difference between Armaan and Karan is that, Armaan is made to wear lots of clothes, while I wear next to nothing.” You have an enormous fan following on our forum. Are you aware of this? “Yes, I am aware of the fan following I have in India-Forums. Actually, my parents who are based at Muscat regularly visit India-Forums, in fact my whole family visits. Whenever they tell me about this fan following, I get thrilled.” So why don’t you login and directly interact with your fans? “Yes, I will surely do that.”, says a jubilant Karan.

How is it working with Mohnish Behl? “I have looked up to his acting as I grew up. It is awesome to work with him, I learn a lot from him. This is one reason why my scenes with him come out so well. It is a great experience, altogether.”

Your Salsa dance with Riddhima was appreciated a lot. “Yes, the Salsa was planned by the creatives. The lovely clothes were designed by our producer’s wife, who is a designer by profession. We had only half an hour’s practice for the Salsa. But it was real fun doing it. I would like to tell you that there is one more dance coming up this week in the show. Since it is Garba season, we are doing a Garba dance; I presume it will be shown sometime this week. We wear complete authentic dresses, please watch this episode, it is going to be entertaining for sure.”

With Salsa and Garba happening, why are we not seeing you in any Dance reality show? “Yes, I and my girl friend Shraddha Nigam were actually invited for this season’s Nach Baliye. But I am so into Dill Mill Gaye, so I could not take it up.” Quickly he adds, “Probably the next time…”

Does it mean wedding bells in the near future? No marriage on cards as of now. We have not even talked to each other about it. (smiles)”, says the actor as he signs off.

She is surely a Child Prodigy, whether it be for her acting or in her academics. Telly Buzz brings you a one-to-one with Swini Khara who has achieved 'big' things at a very small age..

Till now I have achieved what I wanted to on TV and I want to work a lot harder and love to get all the bollywood awards.” So how was it working with Big B? She sounded too excited and fondly tells how she enjoyed the experience thoroughly. She also told how shocked she was when she came to know about her selection in Cheeni Kum, and adds excitedly, “I just could not believe that I am working with ‘THE’ Amit uncle – he is such a big star!". Is there is any other actor she wants to work with? Pat came her reply, “Hrithik Roshan”.

Swini is surely a wonder kid. A topper in all forms of life; a girl with innocence in her voice, oozing maturity in her work, this girl has miles to go and great things to achieve in life..

this is an article abt dr.keerti
if posted before sorry

Known to be among the most popular vamps on Indian Television, Sonia is headed towards a drastic change to her stereotyped image. Sonia is a part of Star One’s - Dill Mill Gaye, where she plays the character of - Keerti Mehra, a strict doctor, who makes life difficult for the interns.

We talk to Sonia and get an insight to her character in the show, her future projects, and how does she feel about her versatile roles.

Tell us something about your role in the new show:

I play a character called - Keerti Mehra, who is a strict professor who makes life a little difficult for the interns. She isn’t a negative character, thank-fully (laughter).

How is it been playing a positive character for the first time on Indian television?

I am so glad that I am not playing a vamp. It was time I began doing something different. Its been a little difficult actually, playing positive. Between the shots, the director has to cut the shot, as my expressions look negative, so it was difficult at first, but I am sure soon, I’ll get the hang of it.

There have been rumors that you might return to KumKum, is that going to happen anytime soon?

I don’t know, I was to start shooting soon with them, but things didn’t work out, the production has asked me to join them, in the first week of September, lets see how that works out.

A final note take on your new show?

Its something very different, my character, the story, everything. So be on a lookout for Dil Mil Gaye.

We wish Sonia the very best for her new change of direction. Catch Dill Mill Gayee on Star One.

Shilpa Anand talks about her relationship with 'Dill Mill Gaye' co-star Karan Singh Grover

Dr Riddhima and Dr Armaan have become the ‘it’ couple in tellydom. The love story of Shilpa Anand and Karan Singh Grover in the popular show ‘Dill Mill Gaye’ has had many romantics smitten. Shilpa confirms that she does share good vibes with co-star Karan even as she cautions, “We are good friends. The fact that we are comfortable with each other comes across on screen and that works for us.”

On the flip side, it is being said that the story has deviated from a hospital saga to a love story? “Oh no! It was decided right from the beginning that the focus would be on the love story. Our show only shares the name of the hospital ‘Sanjeevani’ with the previously similarly titled show.”

About her character she says, “Riddhima is this simple and goody-goody girl. But she is today’s girl. Her relationship with her father played by Mohnish Behl is beautifully portrayed.”

What has worked for Shilpa the most is her styling in the show—the Riddhima kurtas are in vogue. “I wasn’t aware of this myself. The entire credit should go to my stylist Sapna. She gave me this look with no heavy jewellery or loud make-up.”

What didn’t go down well with them however was her debut film ‘Ikraar’. The dud forced her to do television commercials and films down South. But right now it’s just ‘DMG’ that is taking up all her time.



wah wah wah kya baat hai!
its abt ther love sotry CHAK DE PHATEE !!
i love shilpa hehe shes comfy wit karan

[anjali7]

The popularity of Karan Singh aka Dr Armaan of Dil Mil Gaye landed him in trouble recently. It all began when an intern on the show asks Dr Armaan for his number on an episode aired recently. The random cell number he uttered in the serial turned out to be an industrialist’s number. The man was inundated by calls from girls across the nation asking for Dr Armaan. Karan says, "The industrialist soon contacted the star CEO and told that everyday he gets a host of calls for Dr Armaan. He even threatened to sue the channel so I had to come on the show and tell everyone that they can reach Dr Armaan on Star One at 8.30 pm from Monday to Thursday."

The TRPs of the serial has reached 1.8, which is a record for Star One and the hit jodi of Armaan and Ridhima has become a household name. So how close is this jodi in real life?

Karan, who is very good friends with Shilpa, says, "In real life too I play a lot of pranks on Shilpa and trouble her on sets of Dil Mil Gaye. She is a wonderful co-artist to work with and I really enjoy her company." Before the serial was on air there was a lot of apprehension about its success. But with the soaring TRPs it looks like this pair is here to stay.

No time for South movies

Talking about popularity, Shilpa Anand, who plays Dr Ridhima in Dil Mill Gaye also enjoys her share of fans. With the soaring TRPs of Dil Mil Gaye the actor seems quite happy and is devoting all her time for the soap. Talking about the character she says, “Dr Ridhima is not just a character in the serial but is a portrayal of a 21 st century girl. the audience love her and enjoy the chemistry of Armaan and Ridhima.”

Shilpa who has done many advertisements for the small screen came into limelight after a cola ad with Amir Khan. Later she went on to act in a Telugu film and claims that she is inundated with offers to this day. But she is concentrating solely on DMG. She says, “I have done a Telugu movie Vishnu previously and I still keep getting offers from South Indian moviemakers. But the shooting schedules of DMG keeps me tied up so I am not venturing into any other serial or movie for now.”

Shilpa accuses Mohan Babu of manhandling:

http://i12.tinypic.com/7wgfrl2.jpg

Actor cum producer Mohan Babu has done it again. He allegedly slapped a heroine and her mother on the sets. The Jubilee Hills police on a Tuesday (July 22, 2003) registered case against him for intimidating and slapping heroine Shilpa Shivanand.

Shilpa alleged that when she refused to participate in a dance sequence, as she was not in mood to perform, Mohan Babu, producer of the film, came and beat her up. The incident took place on Tuesday at Annapoorna Studios, Hyderabad.

Mohan Babu is producing a film, VISHNU, introducing his son Vishnuvardhan Babu as hero. Shilpa Shivanand is playing the female lead. On the last day of the shooting (Tuesday) of the film, She complained that she was feeling sick. Mohan Babu had asked her to take an hours rest and join the shooting later. She refused. Known for his short temper, Mohan Babu grabbed her hair and beat her on the sets. Shilpa in her complaint accused Mohan Babu of "intimidating and beating her up."

The police registered case under the sections of 342, 323 and 506 of IPC. There were many instances of Mohan Babu beating up the unit members. And there are one or two cases too in various police stations in Andhra Pradesh. Shilpa Shivanand is the sister of well-known actress Sakshi Shivanand.

Shakshi Shivanand is known to have made life miserable for Mohan Babu when they were working together. Though, Shivanands are notorious for professional indiscipline, beating up her a heroine is equally unacceptable commented one film producer.

Actress 'slapped' for refusing to kiss:

By Omer Farooq
BBC correspondent in Hyderabad


An Indian movie star has been charged with assaulting an actress who refused to kiss his son in a film scene.
Mohan Babu, a leading southern Indian film actor and former member of parliament, has been also booked for "wrongful confinement" and intimidation.


Kissing on screen is still a taboo in India...
The police said the incident took place at a studio in the southern city of Hyderabad on Tuesday evening during the filming of a Telugu-language film, Vishnu.

The film is being produced by Mohan Babu to launch his son Vishnu's movie career.

'Slapped' :

The actress, Shilpa Shivanand, says that Mohan Babu became angry with her when she did not take part in a song sequence which involved her kissing Vishnu.

Shilpa said that when she refused to do the scene again, an enraged Mohan Babu slapped her.


...but recent films are pushing the boundaries
When her mother Parveen Sivanand tried to intervene, she was also allegedly beaten up.

Following the assault, the actress says Mohan Babu followed them in to the make-up room and intimidated them, threatening them with legal action if she did not complete the filming.

Shilpa called her sister, who was in Bombay, who in turn contacted the Hyderabad police.

But when the police reached the studios it was empty.

The police traced the actress and her mother to a hotel in the city and recorded their statement there.

Later the actress along with her mother left for Bombay.

Mohan Babu has been unavailable for comment.

Telugu actor Mohan Babu accused of slapping actress:

Syed Amin Jafri in Hyderabad | July 23, 2003 | 14:51 IST


The police have registered a case against Telugu actor and former MP Mohan Babu for allegedly intimidating and slapping actress Shilpa Shivanand during the shooting of a film in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

Shilpa's sister is a Mumbai-based actress, Sakshi Shivanand.

The police booked the case under sections 342 (wrongful confinement), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (insult intended to provoke breach of peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) IPC against the film actor-cum-producer at the Jubilee Hills Police Station.

The incident reportedly took place around 1500 IST at Annapurna Studios on the sets of a Telugu film titled Vishnu, wherein Mohan Babu's son Vishnuvardhan is making his debut opposite Shilpa Shivanand.

Shilpa had earlier acted in another Telugu film Bezawada Police Station three years ago.

In her complaint, Shilpa Shivanand alleged that Mohan Babu wanted Shilpa to do a kissing scene with Vishnu in a song sequence for the film, which is halfway through.

Not satisfied with the first take, Mohan Babu asked Shilpa to repeat the scene, which she refused.

An infuriated Mohan Babu allegedly abused her in filthy language, slapped her, caught her by her hair and dragged her, due to which she fell down and suffered minor injuries on her face.

The actress went to the make-up room and informed her mother Parveen Shivanand.

When the latter intervened,� Mohan Babu allegedly got hold of her hair and pushed her, hurling abuses. He reportedly slapped her and threatened her of dire consequences if she did not leave the place immediately.

Shilpa and her mother left the scene in tears and lodged a complaint with the Jubilee Hills police around 1700 IST. Later, they left for Mumbai.

By the time the police went to the studios to investigate, everyone had packed up and left for the day.

They will be interrogated on Wednesday.

No arrests have been made so far.

Kannada film 'Soundarya' director I.E.Chennagangappa has decided to file one blackmail case and six criminal cases against actress Saakshi Shivanand for her irresponsible attitudes that has resulted in Rs.30 lakh loss to the film. The Switzerland trip to store three songs for the film has brought heavy tension for the former KAS officer Chennagangappa. Mr Chennagangappa had made Karimaleya Kaggatathalu and Nannaseya Hoove Kannada films in the past.


http://i13.tinypic.com/6junua8.jpg


Saakshi Shivanand has a horrible past. At the time of shooting for 'Sainika' Kannada film at Kundapura she made a statement that she has a look like sister and when it is not possible for her to attend the shoot her sister would attend. According to the Kannada film producers who roped in Saakshi Shivanand allege disgusting experience. In Ghalate Aliyandru and in Thandege Thakka Maga Saakshi erratic behavior is already known.

http://i1.tinypic.com/6z9gfwi.jpg

Nakra it seems is in her blood!

"Saakshi Shivanand, her sister Shilpa and mother Parveen worked out a plot to grab money from me for no mistake of mine has perturbed me" says Chennagangappa speaking to Chitraloka at his office in Vijayanagar, Bangalore.

For the misplacement of Shilpa's passport at the passport office Mumbai has been the root cause for the muddle and Saakshi and her mother claiming Rs.24 lakha as compensation.

Saakshi Shivanand the heroine of Ramesh Aravind starring 'Soundarya' Kannada film directed by Chennagangappa agreed to come to Switzerland shooting with her mother and sister Shilpa. Saakshi also made it clear that her mother and sister are coming on their own and requested Chennagangappa to collectively get the passport for all them.

Accordingly passport was submitted to Switzerland passport office by Bright Tours and Travels of Chennai.

A few days before the departure on 6th July Saakshi Shivanand demanded for return of passport of her sister and told that she is not coming as she had been booked for United States of America for a program. When the passport was in the consulate office it was not possible to get it back unless it is stamped said the travel agent and she kept quiet.

But on the day of journey to Switzerland even before three hours of departure in Mumbai she did not turn up. At the last minute she turned up and asked for her, mother and Shilpa's passport. At this stage the tension and trauma for the production team started.

Like enacting before the camera Saakshi and her mother immediately told that there was an expired pass port missing of Shilpa which had a valid US visa.

The passport has to come back or the compensation of Rs.24 lakhs what Shilpa was supposed to earn from her American assignment has to be given to them by the Soundarya producers said the mother Parveen.

Totally lost in control of the situation the production in charge Mohammad consulted Mr Chennagangappa in Switzerland for further action.

Sensing something is going to be very precarious Chennagangappa said everything would be sorted to Saakshi and asked her to join for shooting for which she is already two days late. The compensation of Rs.24 lakhs what Saakshi is demanding for the loss of her sister assignment in US was divided between the Bright Tours and Travels and Chennagangappa. On taking an undertaking (on a white plain paper!) that compensation of Rs.12 lakhs would be given to Shilpa, Saakshi and Parveen went to Switzerland.

From here afterwards Chennagangappa recorded all his conversation with Saakshi Shivanand and controlled her further illogical and irresponsible attitudes.

In Switzerland also Saakshi did not attend for the shooting and once again demanded her money.

Saakshi now on the health grounds pretended to escape from shooting. She was given medical aid but the same Saakshi in the evening time was puffing cigarette on the river bank side says Chennagangappa.

After two days rest again Saakshi attended the shooting and with just one scene left for completion director Chennagangappa felt it is height of torture and asked Saakshi to pack off her luggage to India.

Roping in heroines from other languages has been in most of the cases has been horrible experience for Kannada film producers.

But for losing of the passport by the office why should a humble producers should be targeted is the question.

[Chummu]

Call me Shilpa Anand:
When you refer to Shilpa Shivanand with that name, she usually gets peeved. She quickly request you to refer her as Shilpa Anand. The history goes like this. Her father's name is Siva Anand. Hence people call him as Sivanand. His elder daughter's name is Sonal Anand and younger daughter'a name is Silpa Anand. Sonal Anand changed her name to Sakshi Anand and entered. The journalists started calling her Shilpa Sivanand as her father is Sivanand. Since Sakshi is established as heroine, when her sister Shilpa Anand enter the people, they attributed Sivanand to Shilpa too.

Sunaina Gulia aka Dr. Anjali plays the over zealous,ambitious doctor and sometimes selfish sister in Dill Mill Gayye. In conversation with our reporter Ranjini Nair, Sunaina tells us more about her character change in the serial .


How does it feel being a part of a show which has such good TRP's and so popular with the audience?

It feels great being a part of Dill Mill Gayye. It is great fun working with the cast and crew. They are all fun loving people and I feel really lucky to be a part of this serial.

Do you think the track of the serial, originally a hospital background, has now shifted to a love story?

Not at all. The title itself suggests that it is a love story. Every serial starts off with some or the other background and ours started off with the hospital as its background. But the story doesn’t only revolve around the love interest of the doctors but their lives too, what they do, how they handle the responsibilities and pressure at the hospital.

Anjali has gone through a major character change; Will she continue being a good sister and a friend, or is the change temporary?

Yes Anjali has undergone a character change and it is permanent. Anjali was never the bad girl (laughs), she was a just a bit selfish, but always good at heart. She helps her sister a lot and is always there for her.

What’s more in store for Anjali ? Whom will she go with? Armaan or Atul?

Actually I am not aware of the future track myself. I have no idea with whom Anjali ends up either, so I cannot say anything right now. As for me, I would like to go with everyone (laughs).

And whom do you share a good on- screen chemistry with?

Since all of us are from the same age group, we have a great rapport with one another. We hang out, have lunch and have a blast together. I have a great on-screen chemistry with all my co-stars.

Do you think television actors are more popular compared to film stars?

To a certain extent television actors are more popular with the audience. But I don’t think we can compete with the popularity of some of the big stars like Shahrukh Khan. Everyone dreams to be just like them.

What about your projects before Dill Mill Gaye?

Before Dill Mill Gaye, I did Kuch Love Kuch Masti and Ada on Sahara and Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa on ZEE. I played the main protagonist in all these serials. After that, I did Travel shows for 2 years and now DMG.

What are your plans for the future? Any new projects?

Right now, I have no time for any new projects. Apart from Dill Mill Gaye I am hosting a travel show on VOJGEN channel and all my time is consumed shooting for these two shows.

One role that you would give an eye and limb to play?

I would love to try out different roles portraying different shades. But the one role I’ve always dreamt of doing is the role of Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind.

Dil Mill Gayee

Scene of the Week: This week DMG fans were spoiled for choice with some awesome scenes by the cast. But foremost was the scene which AR fans have long waited for, the one where Riddhima confesses her love for Armaan. When Armaan's wound starts bleeding on duty and he goes into an exam room to tend to it, Riddhima follows him there and then offers to change the dressing for him. The scene where he says, that her words are the only thing causing him pain was truly memorable. Riddhima starts crying when she hears this and exclaims, "I hate you Armaan, I hate you!" Then he replies movingly, "But I love you." Then finally she admits she loves him, and the two enjoy a tearful embrace. One of the sweetest moments of the week, and of the show.

Dialogue of the Week: Atul delivered the funniest lines of all. He and Muskaan are sitting at a table in the canteen and he puts his sandwich down disdainfully, saying to Muskaan: Kabhi kabhi lagta hai ki mein bhi sandwich ki taraf hoon. Ek taraf Sanjeevani hai aur dusri taraf Anjali hai. Beech mein main hoon. Dono se bahut umeed hai, magar milta kuch nahin hai.

Style Icon of the Week: It would have to be Dr. Sapna, who has been rocking the halls of Sanjeevani in her fitted salwar suits. They are simply styled in soft colors. Her makeup also couldn't look more stunning and the effect has charmed us all. A far cry from the kurta and pants look she debuted in back in August, and way more appealing to the viewers.

Blooper of the Week: The biggest blooper belongs to Dr. Muskaan who fainted at the sight of some blood during her first assist in surgery. While it's true that it was her first time in the OR, one has to wonder how she made it through med school if the sight of blood was a problem for her. Although Shashank does reprimand Armaan for putting her in OR, it's really not his fault that Muskaan can't digest the conditions of a hospital. Imagine you are visiting a hospital and a doctor refuses to treat you as he/she is afraid of BLOOD, God Bless you!

As producers know, there are various ways of pulling in high TRP’s, one of them is through a talented cast, the other is through witty dialogues, but the most obvious is through 'Fashion'.


The way an actor or actress is styled affects how he or she is perceived by the audience. If fans cannot identify with the person’s look, then they fail to pay attention to that person or what they are saying. Because in effect, the hairstyle and clothing are making a statement already. Shows wanting to guarantee the loyalty of all fans and not just one set, now tend to cover looks from both East and West, and this fusion of tastes has been very successful.

Take DMG for instance. Armaan’s untucked shirts in pastel shades, several buttons undone, with stonewashed denims and boots has become his signature look. His and Anjali’s look, the long-sleeved flare shirts with skinny pants and thin heels are shown alongside Riddhima’s traditional salwar suits. The combination is not unintentional. They try to please both the conservatives and also those who may lean towards trendy Western clothing. In such a way, all of the fans can relate.

With the successful Ekta show Kasturi, Robbie tended towards shirts with several buttons, undone, casual pants, a necklace and earrings in both ears. Ladylove Kasturi Chawla dressed as a typical Punjabi girl in fitted salwar suits with traditional jewelry. Even post-marriage to first husband Raunak, and then second husband Robbie, Kasturi stuck to old-fashioned looks with saris, matching cholis and ornate long danglers. The rock star adored by millions, Robbie dressed the part with his flashy threads and gelled hairstyle. This combination is a time-tested favorite in Ekta shows.

In another K show Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, the star pairing of Adi-Methili also embraced this look. The character of Vikram Aditya Mehra (Adi) is seen mostly in suiting jackets and pants, or casual shirts and coordinating bottoms. His romantic interest Methili wears colorful but conservative salwar suits.

Still another K series, the long-running Kasauti Zindagi Kay, featured the pair of Prerna and Mr. Bajaj. Prerna was always seen in flattering saris with elegant cholis. They were just the right amount of revealing without going overboard and always set off her radiant complexion. Mr. Bajaj was generally dressed in full business attire, with a matching suit, dress shirt, vest and necktie. He looked very much the sophisticated leading man, and Prerna, the equally sophisticated wife from a well-to-do family.

Even in the talk show Koffee With Karan, host Karan Johar used this fashion formula with great results. He would grace the sets wearing a Western designer shirt and pants, while his guests would wear traditional Eastern designers or a cutting-edge Western couturier.

Just as we tend to look twice at someone immaculately dressed walking down the street, so it is with the tube! There is never a guarantee people will like the current storyline, however making sure the cast is well-dressed in as easy way to pull in viewers. Especially with daily serials, people look forward to, and swoon over the well-thought-out ensembles worn by their favorite stars. And as we are all aware, these all-important TRP’s are required to guarantee top dollar from the sponsors, who support the creation of such compelling shows.

hey guyz!! well here r sum brief stuff bout karan!!......sry sum of dem maybe are repeated!! njoy!!

__________________________________________________ _____________

Karan Grover's Article in ShowtimeKaran Singh is numerology's latest victim."My real name is actually Karan Singh Grover.But I never used Grover earlier.I've made the change for numerological reasons. It comes to a better number."is his explanation

Landing in Dill...is quite a bonus."I went for an audition,a look test and got the role.And the going's great.I play Dr.Armaan Malik.It's fun because I play a character very close to myself,and someone who's my age too.Armaan is naughty and full of life.Also,it's a different show.I'm not saying family dramas are boring,but they are not something I can relate to myself,It's not the usual saas-bahu stuff;it's a youth oriented show about doctors.There is drama,but it's very profession related,not home related.Plus working here,in such a positive environment,helps immensely.There's no bickering,everyone gets along,and there are no insecurities.The story line may be quite cliched at times,but,still,it is shot differently.We dont have cheat shots,nor do we use duplicates.I'm quite involved in the creative side too.I read scripts beforehand,check the screenplay out,and even try and attend the creative meetings.I've never done all this for any othr show in my life,"he reveals.

He had to make a lot of changes for this chow,like dropping out of his previous projects to concentrate solely on this."Before I got Dill...I was doing Solah Singaarr and I even did Parivar on Zee for a weekThen I left both for Dill...Star and Cinevistaas needed an exclusivity contract.I didnt have a choice."
Was he disappointed with the way the show Solah Singaarr eventually turned out for him?"I was disappointed by the change of the story actually.It turned out okay;the show is doing quite well.I liked the whole initial bit,when the story dealt with widow remarriage.That was a touchy subject.But after that something went wrong and more characters were brought in.I preferred the initial story anyday."


Wasn't he supposed to go back to working with Balaji with a very big show?"Yes,that's true.I was playing the lead in Khwaish.To be precise, I was t play Sumeet Sachdev's younger brother.Sumeet's character eventually dies,and I was going to take over after that.That's why I was to shift to Dubai as well.We even shot for it,some of the shaadi sequences here.But the dates didnt work out,and then my passport was taking too long to get renewed.It had expired,and by the time I managed to renew it,it was a little late.Also they needed 25 days in Dubai,which I couldn't give,because that time I was doing Solah Singaarralso.15 days is all I had in hand.Initially,Balaji was okay with it,but then the passpost problem added to the confusion.They got stuck and had to find somebody else."
He's open to any new work that comes along the way."My shecule may be tight,but anything can be worked out.Work is work,and is always welcome!"
He's finally moved on from his painful break up with Barkha Bisht and has found love with Shraddha Nigam.A year ago,Karan had become quite a Devdas. Today he's happy and raring to go."Nobody stays depressed for so long in life generally.I've moved on,both personally and professionally."

He elaborates,"I've only started seeing Shraddha since about 6 months now. We used to keep bumping into each othet because of common friends.We mest properly at an after-party for an awards function.I remember it was the 31st March.Dates are not something I'm forced to remember;I just tend to remember dates,clothes,colours,scenes and dialogues.I even remember my dialogues from Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi.I can't help it.'


He goes on," So yeah,I met her at the party,where we partied for a bit.And then she didn't want to go home and I didnt want to go home either.So we sat at the J.W.Marriott all night,talking.It was the first time I spoke to someone for so long.I spoke to Shraddha from 1 o'clock in the night to 8 o'clock in the morning at the coffee shop.We were talking about anything an d everything in life,any nonsense.That's how it started."

How different is this relationship from the one he had with Barkha?"Very different!I'm also at a place in my life where I'm a little sorted in my head.And she's(Shraddha) been in this industry and in this world much before me.She's a little older than me.And she's very mature and balanced.That's the kind of person I needed actually.We connect at all levels. There are things which she doesnt even have to say and I just know."

He adds,"Sometimes you dont have this kind of relationship with your spouse.Sometimes you might have it with your best friend.With Shraddha,it's like that.The kind of connection I have with my best friends from college,whom I've known for some nine years now,I have with Shraddha in six months.It's very strange actually;nice but strange."

Karan doesnt wish to spoil things by dwelling too much on the future."I'm not thinking about the future and neither is she.We'd rather take it one day at atime.I've decided not to think so much anymore.I'm not thinking;she's not thinking;we're both just doing our respective work and we're happy that way."



But why so many denials initially?"I dont deny anything in life.But she was a little apprehensiveat first.Maybe she was worried because I've always been linked with so many women.Or perhaps she didn't want her parents to know.i really don't know.Women are always a bit antsy in the beginning.So I played along.She didn't want to tell anyone,so I didnt tell a soul." They dont know where to go from here."We really dont know.And my motto in life now is to not think at all.I dont think about tomorow.After all that I've been through in these 25 years of life, I realize that if you're really happy right now,then you'll be happy tomorrow as well.Just concentrate on now;tomorrow doesnt matter.What's the point of planning,when it might not work out?It just gets upsetting."

Now Shraddha is totally comfortable with Karan talking about their relationship."Now,I've interacted a lot with her parents.I keep going to her house for dinner quite often.Her mom and dad are also a little more comfortable with me now.Basically, she's totally cool with the fact that we're together."

Karan's new resolution-
"Whatever you have right now,just give it your 140%,the rest will happen when it has to,".2 of his films,Magna Films' Bhram-An Illusion and Saurabh Shukla's I Think I Am 24,are complete and he's waiting for their release.Life seems complete,atleast for now!


‘ Sometimes you don’t have this kind of a relationship with your spouse. Sometimes you might have it with your best friend. With Shraddha, it’s like that.— Karan Singh’

*WORKOUT REGIME..!!:-

Karan prefers to workout six days a week, but occasionally, shooting schedule allows him only four days of working out.
The key to a good exercise, according to Karan, is constant variation in exercise schedule.”I believe in focusing my attention on one muscle at a time.” The actor enthuses, adding,” Concentrating your energy on developing each muscle individually, helps build up muscle mass.”
He reserves Mondays for toning his muscles on his back, and Tuesdays for chest and shoulder exercises. He focuses his attention on arm and leg muscles on Wednesdays and Thursdays.” After an intense workout, I take a break for a day or two.” Says Karan , who says a good night’s sleep does wonders for your body.

*HOBBIES AND LEISURE:-

Its not all fun and games

Even though he has no time for sporting activities, Karan used to look forward to a game of basketball a while ago.

*LOVE LIFE:-

Ask him about his love life and the actor says,

“Right now, work is my first love.”


Karan has been romantically linked with Kitni Mast co-star Barkha Bisht, who played the role of Udita in the show. Is he still dating her? “I am very good friends with her — besides that, there’s nothing special happening,” he says.


Shraddha Nigam seems to have found love again. This time, it’s with actor Karan Singh.
The twosome was spotted together at Hussain and Tina’s belated Nach Baliye party on Tuesday night. Considering neither of them has featured in a show together, their close bonding at the party raised several eyebrows.


Telly viewers will recall that Karan played Sharad in Kasautii Zindagii Kay (Star) and Arnav in Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi (MTV).


When asked about the new man in her life, Shraddha says, “Karan is a friend.”Tell her the pictures tell an entirely different story, and she says, “Then let the pictures then do the talking.
I did my best to avoid them. I’ve known Karan for a very brief period. I was introduced to him through common friends.”
In the past, Karan had been in a relationship with telly actress Barkha Bisht. The duo met on Balaji’s MTV show, Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi.


There were even talks of marriage. But things soured and Bisht is now seeing Indraneil Sengupta, co-star of her Star show, Pyaar Ke Do Naam – Ek Raadha Ek Shyaam.
Shraddha, on the other hand, was in a long-term relationship with actor Ninad Kamat, whom she met while still in college at Mithibai. Later, there was buzz about an affair with then Sony boss Tarun Katiyal too..

*ARMAAN IN DILL MILL GAYYE..! :-

Karan Grover, popularly known as Dr. Armaan of Dill Mill Gayye, does not need to act at all. According to him, he gets paid for being himself on the sets.


Does the name Armaan ring a bell in your ears? Of course yes, because Armaan is a name that has always been associated with name, fame, success and a huge fan following. At first, Apurva Agnihotri achieved enormous success playing the role of Armaan Sir in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi. Now, the new Armaan to rock the television world is Karan ‘Dr. Armaan’ Grover who has set all hearts thumping with his looks and charming personality in Star one’s Dill Mill Gayye.
As bubbly and energetic as his character, Karan Grover talks about his character and much more, read on.


How is it playing Dr. Armaan? “It’s been awesome playing Dr. Armaan. I relate a lot to the character I play, so I need not put in much effort. I need to go there, play myself and get back. The best part is that, there is no need for me to act for the role. This is the way I am. The plus is that, I get paid for being myself on the sets.(laughs)”


How is it being a part of a serial, centered on youth? How did you all get on so well? “Yes, all come from different backgrounds, but we connected together so well. We got comfortable with each other in no time. We built up great chemistry and that too very fast. It is a serial for the youth, and about youth. We all understand our roles very well. Moreover, I feel, playing our age, we can relate to our characters better. Our Director Nizar Parvez is also young, so he understands everything so nicely. It’s really good to be working under a young director. To me, it does not seem like work. It is a dream role for me, and I am having fun.”


Is there any difference between Armaan and Karan? “The only difference between Armaan and Karan is that, Armaan is made to wear lots of clothes, while I wear next to nothing.” You have an enormous fan following on our forum. Are you aware of this? “Yes, I am aware of the fan following I have in India-Forums. Actually, my parents who are based at Muscat regularly visit India-Forums, in fact my whole family visits. Whenever they tell me about this fan following, I get thrilled.” So why don’t you login and directly interact with your fans? “Yes, I will surely do that.”, says a jubilant Karan.


How is it working with Mohnish Behl? “I have looked up to his acting as I grew up. It is awesome to work with him, I learn a lot from him. This is one reason why my scenes with him come out so well. It is a great experience, altogether.”


Your Salsa dance with Riddhima was appreciated a lot. “Yes, the Salsa was planned by the creatives. The lovely clothes were designed by our producer’s wife, who is a designer by profession. We had only half an hour’s practice for the Salsa. But it was real fun doing it. I would like to tell you that there is one more dance coming up this week in the show. Since it is Garba season, we are doing a Garba dance; I presume it will be shown sometime this week. We wear complete authentic dresses, please watch this episode, it is going to be entertaining for sure.”
With Salsa and Garba happening, why are we not seeing you in any Dance reality show? “Yes, I and my girl friend Shraddha Nigam were actually invited for this season’s Nach Baliye. But I am so into Dill Mill Gaye, so I could not take it up.” Quickly he adds, “Probably the next time…”
Does it mean wedding bells in the near future? No marriage on cards as of now. We have not even talked to each other about it. (smiles)”, says the actor as he signs off.

*DR.ARMAAN MALIK OF DILL MILL GAYYE...(KARAN SINGH):-

22 year old Armaan represents the new age man; one who is self confident, efficient, cheeky and occasionally even smug. He is also extremely handsome and gives the impression of being a skirt chaser. He enjoys female company and makes no bones about the fact that he has a weakening knee effect on women. He is used to being the centre of female attention and also knows how to sustain that attention when he does receive it. Armaan comes from an affluent family and has never wanted for anything materialistic ever in his life. But beneath the suave and confident exterior lies a focussed doctor, whose sole aim is to outgrow the stigma of being the son of an alcoholic anaesthesiologist.

"I don't have a twin sister" Claims Sakshi Shivanand


http://i27.tinypic.com/213jgk2.jpg

While C P Yogeshwar claimed that actress Sakshi Shivanand's who is starring in his new film Sainika twin sister has impersonated her in many movies, the actress has now come out in the open and has said that the whole story was just a joke between her and the director C P Yogeshwar.

While the whole Kannada industry debates over the controversy, Sakshi told press persons that when Yogeshwar asked her how she managed to look so different in each of her movies, she told him that she had a look-alike twin sister. Sakshi claims that she was just joking and had no idea that Yogeshwar will take it so seriously. When asked why Yogeshwar would make up such a story she said that she had no idea since she still hadn't met him after this incidence.

Sakshi also said that she did have a younger sister Shilpa, who was two years younger to her and that Shilpa had just finished a six-month intensive course in e-commerce and has joined a dotcom as a trainee programmer in Mumbai. She also said that Shilpa had never impersonated her in any film. According to her, while her sister Shilpa is 5.4 inches tall and slightly dark, she is 5.7 and fair complexioned.

[Chummu]

Sakshi Sivanand, much in demand in Telugu films, made her debut in Vaanchinathan opposite Vijaykanth and was seen only in one song and a few scenes. Now Yogeshwar, her co-actor and producer of a Kannada film Sainika, says that Sakshi cheated him by sending in her younger sister who looks like her as a stand in.

http://i29.tinypic.com/25gdlc5.jpg


On the sets of Vedham, the Arjun-starrer, Sakshi told media persons that it was she who was cheated by Yogeshwar. "Yogeshwar, to get publicity for his film, gave out this story and since then has been off the hook. My sister Shilpa(riddhima) is 20 months younger, has black eyes, is 5"5 and is working as a trainee software programmer. I made my debut in Tamil with Puthayal opposite Aravind Swamy under Selva's direction. Shilpa is not at all intrested in films and is in Mumbai right now. Take a look at our pictures and see for yourself," she said. Talking about Vaanchinathan, she said, "When I was signed for the film, I was the only heroine. It was to be a remake of a Telugu film in which I had starred but later on Ramya Krishnan was added to the cast. And for your information, I have never played the second heroine in any film. I was actually to do all the songs that Ramya shot for abroad and the result was that neither mine nor her character was well established." states Sakshi.

The height of impersonation exposed. Taking the four language films to ride over the last ten years! This has been a startling revelation. The tall and beautiful looking Saakshi and Shilpa have been taking advantage of their similar looks. The twin sister exchange and duping producers and artists has come out as an unbelievable news on the sets of ‘SAINIKA’ Kannada film at Kundapura in Dakshin Kannada. This soldier of Kannada cinema Yogeshwar tapped the real facts and later ascertained the facts.

Over the years the twin sisters Saakshi and Shilpa are cheating the industry by impersonation and employing tricky tactics. With this they have fooled the entire industry in Bollywood, Hyderabad, Tamil Nadu and Sandalwood.

The double role what is found in reel life has surfaced in real life and this has been an utter crime says Yogeshwar the producer, hero and sitting Member of Legislative Assembly. A cinema story as eventually turned out be a fact in real life.

How the Sakshi Shivanand belied the hopes is an interesting story for a film. Producer cum actor Yogishwar went to Hyderabad to book the call sheet of Saakshi Shivanand. On knowing the arrival Shilpa the sister of Saakshi pretended as Saakshi and finalized the call sheet for Rs.10 lakhs.

After this Yogishwar spoke to Shilpa (thinking as Saakshi) for four times. On the muhurut day of ‘Sainika’ the real Saakshi Shivanand arrived and she was not in a position to identify the hero Yogishwar. At this stage Yogishwar suspected something but his busy schedule made him to keep the matter aside.

Then began the shooting at Kundapura. Saakshi appeared for shoot for a few days and obtained permission to go back to Hyderabad for two days. After these two days came back Saakshi. It was one evening Yogishwar came to know that Saakshi's mother is talking to Saakshi over the phone. At this time it was discovered that Saakshi has a twin sister but still the name mother uttered over the phone baffled Yogishwar. They the hunt for truth explained all.

Yogishwar at this stage became alert as he had already one doseof doubt on muhurut day. He took the mobile number of Saakshi using his brilliance and he spoke to Shika over the phone and that explained that something fishy is going on.

The media from Bangalore present at Kundapura got complete knowledge of this twin sister incorrigible mistake and contacted Saakshi who came down to Kundapura after a brief gap.

Saakshi admitted the fault and was very shivering for the queries made. She maintained a long silence and could only say that her sister Shilpa had acted in six films and she had completed over 25 films in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi languages. The films Shilpa had acted in Telugu are ‘Samudra’, ‘Yamajathakalu’ and two other (certainly duped the people in Hyderbad too). In Tamil Shilpa had acted with Prabhu (son of thespian Shivaji Ganeshan).

A few days ago in SONY TV channel there was an interview with actress Saakshi Shivanand. Instead of younger sister the elder Shilpa attended the interview. This is absolute cheating. Shilpa of around six films old batted the questions on behalf of her sister who is 25 films old in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada languages.

This has been the height of misuse by twin sisters. According to a survey conducted over telephone the majority of the industry people are of the opinion that the two sisters have to be punished severely. Had they misused their look like advantage in other languagues is a job left to be done by the Industry.

Real-life love story comes to the screens!
- 05.06.2006

Bollywood is notorious for making films about itself and its stars. Some of the well-known directors freely borrow incidents and events from their own life to make films.
There are now plans to make a new film based on Karishma Kapoor-Abhishek Bachchan romance.



For many years, rumors were making the rounds that Karishma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan were romantically involved. For some reasons, it didn’t result in marriage and Karishma got married to an industrialist. The marriage was on the rocks after Karishma gave birth to their daughter. Divorce proceedings were on but the couple decided to reconcile and give their marriage another chance.



In the film, Saakshi Shivanand is likely to play Karishma’s role. Saakshi’s real-life sister Shilpa will play Kareena Kapoor’s role. Search is on for the hero.



Interesting…

Television’s rising star Shilpa Anand tells AT why films are a no-no and soaps are fun

Shilpa Anand didn’t want to be a Southern superstar

You have seen her in numerous advertisements; peering out of the television screen in your drawing room.

Oh yes, she also starred in a dud at the box office, a Hindi film called Iqraar – By Choice , but this is Shilpa Anand’s first official entry to television in terms of doing a serial.

She will star in a hospital series, considered to be sort of a sequel to a popular serial.

Sister of Telugu super star Sakshi Shivanand, Shilpa who spent her childhood growing up in Africa and US came to India while she was in class VIII. To those who think that only beauties without brains turn to acting, Shilpa has actually studied to be a software professional.

I did work in a financial company for a while. I got an offer to do a Telugu movie, which I did. I think the glamour bug stuck me quite by chance, and I left the software industry for good,” she says.

I quickly realised that I didn’t want to work down South. There was a language barrier and besides like my sister I didn’t really fancy being a superstar there. I wanted to do mainstream work,” explains Shilpa.

She admits that her first film didn’t do too well and she opted for doing a lot of television commercials. “I didn’t want to be slated as a B-grade actress and those were the kind of offers I was getting.

Even if I had a good role, I would never get a good audience if I did those kinds of films. I was happy doing commercials and then when the role of this serial was offered to me, I saw it as a great platform.

She plays the role of a 21-year old medical intern in the serial, one who is warm, kind and good natured. “Am I like that in real life?,” she laughs with a glint of mischief and says, “Maybe, maybe not!

With her first serial being launched at the end of this month she says she will concentrate on the small screen for the time being.

I am happy with the character I play. Thankfully, it’s not a weepy-washy kind of a role and I am going to have a lot of fun playing it. Besides, I don’t think I am going to get back to being a software professional. As for films, I can only do it if I get a good break. Watch out for the ‘gentle’ doctor!

Sonia Singh's powerful portrayal as Antra in Kumkum Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan might be over with the killing of her character. But the actress certainly has miles to go, and she promises the same...

http://i25.tinypic.com/j6ocwp.jpg


Sonia Singh, the actress who has won all hearts as the negative Antra in Star Plus afternoon soap, Kumkum Ek Pyaara Sa Bandhan is glad that she has created a niche on Indian Television with a good variety of roles.

Be it her negative role in Kumkum or the strict doctor in Dill Mill Gayye, or be it the Icchhadhari Naagin in Zee’s Naagin, this gorgeous actress has done full justice to all her roles.

http://i26.tinypic.com/23lfqps.jpg


As Antra in Kumkum she had a negative role, but later when she made a comeback into the serial, she got to play a repentant positive character. “Antra had lots of shades. It had negative as well as positive shades. The comeback saw a reformed and positive Antra; but in the beginning, there was lots of scope to perform,” informs the actress. Sonia plays the Icchhadhari Naagin Kanak in Zee’s Naaginn. A devoted daughter to her evil-minded Tantrik father, Sonia is set to capture all hearts in her new avatar and a new look.

Coming back to Kumkum, Sonia feels there are many characteristics of present positive Antra which are similar to the real Sonia. “I am completely different from old Antra. But the new Antra resembles Sonia to a greater extent. Sonia is very emotional just like the reformed Antra”, says the actress.

The new twist in Kumkum’s story has now given way for the murder of the character Antra, and this marks the end of Sonia in Kumkum Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan. But her fans can continue watching her in the other two serials, that she is a part of.

“I thank you all for giving me the love and support. After playing negative, viewers even accepted me as the changed Antra, and I really appreciate that. Please keep showering the same love on me always,” says the petite Sonia, as she promises to give her loyal fans much more to be happy about.

Now Abhishek-Karisma story on celluloid?

By Abid, May 12, 2006 - 09:34 IST http://i30.tinypic.com/w9dxr9.jpg

The real life story of Abhishek and Karisma Kapoor may soon be seen on the silver screen. Maker Neelesh Mulye is scripting the idea, which also has Karisma's husband Sanjay Kapoor as the third angle.

According to Neelesh, no one will be portrayed in a bad light and the focus will be on the Abhishek-Karisma relationship; Karisma's hurried marriage to Sanjay and the differences that cropped up between the couple during the honeymoon itself and finally their re-union when a divorce looked imminent.

Raj Gandhi will produce the venture and the two Shivanand sisters, Sakshi and Shilpa have been signed to portray Karisma and Kareena.

DIL KA DOCTOR
Karan Singh on romance……on and off screen


What does Valentine’s Day mean to you?
The world has designated February 14th as the day when you can officially wear your heart on your sleeve. For me, every day is Valentine’s day. And you don’t have to restrict yourself to your beloved…show your feelings for anyone you love: parents, grandparents, siblings and friends. But I guess the date is for hesitant or shy people to express themselves.

What’s the best gift you’ve given someone on V-Day?
I haven’t given a gift on V-Day per se.I can gift my loved ones anytime I want to.

How’s it going with Shraddha Nigam?
(Smiles) It’s going great. We are very much in love. And before you ask me,
we haven’t planned anything for Feb 14.

How would you normally celebrate the day?
Who has the time yaar? We might just go to a restaurant.

How like or unlike Dr.Armaan Malik are you?
I’m much more mischevious than Armaan…he’s quite subtle really.

What’s the USP of Dill Mill Gayye?
Its youth flavour and the relationship between the six interns. Our off-screen
camaraderie shows on-screen too.

Isn’t Mayank Anand(Rahul Grewal) an unnecessary intruder in your love story
with Shilpa Anand?
(Laughs) No, he’s just trying to annoy Armaan. I don’t hate him but I might just bash him up one of these days…on the show.

How do you handle your female fan following?
Sadly, I can’t do much about it. I only alternate between home and the sets every day.

If you’re so busy, how do you and Shraddha manage to spend quality time?
It’s said that distance has a bad effect on a relationship. We’re lucky that hasn’t happened to us yet. Amen!

[nikki-v]

Dill Mill Gayye's Dr. Armaan,our very own Karan Grover, sure has a scrumptious time on the sets when he isn't playing a busy doctor. Apparently, he loves eating ghar ka khana brought by a spot boy named Chandrakant on the set. We have heard that Chandrakant's, mother cooks amazing non-vegetarian cuisine and karan thoroughly enjooys gorging on the delicacies by her on special days. What's more the mother too calls up Karan and asks him to give his review on her home cooked food. So while Karan gets to relish some wonderful dishes, the mother gets her share of praises from the hottie. Looks like we have a mutual admiration society here!

[sweet s]

SHILPA ANAND

Fashion is something that makes me feel comfortable.

Who chooses clothes for you?
I choose clothes for my self but sometimes I do take my sister’s advice.

Do you like to accessorise yourself?
I love to accessorise myself. If my dress is simple then I love to wear a beaded chain and if the dress is heavy I would like to keep it simple. My belt, footwear and bag should co-ordinate with each other.

Is there any particular brand that you prefer?
Guess Bags, Aldo Shoes and Zaara dresses are the brands that I prefer most.

Favourite shopping destination
I love to shop in London as I feel they give you the best quality.

Clothes that make you feel comfortable
Jeans with loose shirts and cargo pants.
(IMG:http://img.bollywoodsargam.com/album...ing_468975.jpg)
Who is your favourite designer?
Manish Malhotra for Indian wear.

Most expensive outfit you ever bought?
A dress from London that cost me 100 pounds.

Any particular colour you like to see in your wardrobe?
Blue and pink.

A must have in your purse?
My lipstick

What are the make-up products that you prefer to use?
MAC, Cover Girl eye shadow and Revlon kajal pencil.

Fashion tip
Wear something that makes you feel comfortable.

Make- up tip
Go for a thin liquid foundation as it is the best base to give your makeup a great look. Apply a soft touch of blush and a nude lipstick with a kajal:rolleyes:

The actress who plays Dr Riddhima in the medical romance, asked for 20 days off late last year since she was unwell. The producers agreed. Later, Anand was spotted partying in Goa by a crew member.
Producer Siddharth Malhotra admits that Anand had asked for time off citing health issues and that she was actually in Goa. He defends her, saying thagt everyone needs a break. “If we have problems with our actors, we will take action”, he asserts.
Then again, one should note the fact that Anand is almost family. The actress is seeing Malhotra’a cousin. Anand was unavailable for comment

Your Plans for Holi: Well I really don't like to play Holi and I prefer avoiding colors because they affect my skin. But this year I plan to take the day off and spend time with my friends, family and Karan. I think we will enjoy the day just by spending quality time with each other.

The most memorable Holi you have had with Karan: Like I said, I normally don't play Holi, so I can't say that I have any memorable moments of playing Holi with Karan.

Karan Singh Grover:

Your Plans for Holi: I also don't like to play Holi. So I don't have anything special planned for Holi. I will just spend time with my family as I have taken the day off.

The most memorable Holi you have had with Shraddha: Well I have never played with Shradhha as she doesn't like to play Holi, but yes I do have a memorable moment of my own of Holi. When I was small I played Holi with silver color, and the color was so strong that it took me nearly 5 days to get it off. I tried everything to remove but it just wouldn't come off and I looked like a silver man.

Shraddha on Karan

"Karan is my dream man"
What is Karan Grover like as a boyfriend?
Karan is a custom-made man. It seems that God has moulded him into my dream man.

Karan says it is a great help that you are an experienced actress. How has your experience helped him?
(Laughs) He is just being sweet and talking rubbish. I have never taken him to a director pleading for a role, nor have I given him acting classes.

Is it time for wedding bells?
We are committed and looking forward to solemnising our relation in the near future.

Hey guys I got this news from another forum...just have a read!!! Hope you will find it informative...! SORRY IF POSTED B4!

All the girls on the sets of Dil Mill Gaye have boycotted Karan Singh because of his compulsive flirting
The girl gang of Dil Mill Gaye has decided to stay away from Shraddha Nigam’s boyfriend Karan Singh. The actor outrageously flirts with all the women present on the serial’s sets despite having a steady girlfriend. Exasperated, the girl brigade decided to boycott him.

Says a crew member, “Everybody knows that Karan and Shraddha have been seeing each other for quite some time now. How can he hit on the other girls when he is already in a serious relationship? This is not funny any longer and is beginning to be a source of irritation.”
Another crew member confirms saying, “The girls are extremely offended and have decided to avoid him. When it comes to work, everyone is professional and co-operative but beyond that they maintain a distance from him. Poor Karan is yet to realise that!”

Shilpa Anand who plays Dr Riddhima Gupta in the show says, “I have come here to work and I don’t bother about what is happening on the sets. I don’t sit and chat with people. Karan is no exception. I don’t need to talk to him beyond my work.”

When asked about his Casanova act, she says, “There is no doubt that Karan is very flirtatious with the girls.”

Sonia Singh who plays Keerti Mehra, apparently, has a crush on him. She says, “I have decided not to talk with him as it will add fuel to the rumours. I prefer to stick to my work rather than react to baseless rumours.”

When contacted, Karan Singh seemed unaffected. “I have no qualms about admitting that I am a flirt. I am not here to marry anybody. I don’t think it should kick up such a huge fuss.” he says.

Hey Guys...I found this news on another forum...have a read....SORRY IF POSTED B4!

I trust Karan completely:Shradha

Shradha Nigaam on recent reports of an actress having a crush on her boyfriend

They met at a party one evening. They hit it off well. He offered to drop her home. Then suggested they go to a coffee shop for a while. She happily agreed. They sipped on their coffee and kept chatting...well, until eight in the morning!

That's how Shradha Nigaam and Karan Singh (who now goes by the name Karan Grover) met. Their love story that began six months ago is as romantic even today, despite their hectic work schedules. "We don't get much time. We meet after our shoots, at the end of the day, for a little while. But we try and make the best of it," says Shradha.
Like they did two days ago when they celebrated Shradha's birthday and their six-month anniversary.

So are there wedding bells in the near future? "It's too early," she says. "We are very happy and love spending time together," smiles the much-in-love actress. Recently there were reports of Karan's Dill Mill Gayye co-star Sonia Singh going ga-ga over him. So does that make Shradha jealous? "Not at all. I always wish the best for Karan and going by that I would like the whole of India to feel that way for him," she says. So how does she react to such rumours? "I have no reaction. I'm confused. I don't know if there's any truth in that. But what matters really is our love and the trust we have in each other."

Meanwhile, on the work front, Shradha was seen in the show Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Sa Aasman that's just come to an end. Currently, she is busy shooting for an upcoming show. But the girl is glowing like never before. Guess that's what love does to you!

‘Bhram’, an acid-test for Television stars
The to-be-released Bollywood film ‘Bhram’ starring Milind Soman and Dino Morea also stars stalwarts of Television, Chetan Hansraj, Roshni Chopra and Karan Singh Grover. Get to know more on their roles here..







As the trend of television actors moving into films continues, our popular television actors join the bandwagon. Chetan Hansraj, Roshni Chopra and Karan Singh Grover will be seen in the soon to be releasing movie, ‘Bhram’. The Telly Buzz team caught up with Chetan Hansraj and Roshni Chopra to know more.

Giving us an insight on his role Chetan Hansraj says, “I am playing the role of Dino Morea’s best friend. It is a supporting character and has a very important role in the movie. He is Dino’s closest friend and is always there for him through thick and thin. Friendship matters a lot to him.” So how does it feel moving from the small screen to the 70mm screen? “It feels great. I had an amazing experience working with everyone in the movie. And I know Roshni and Karan very well as we are from the television industry, so we all had a good time together.” Chetan adds further, “There is not much difference in TV and films. The only thing is that in cinema, we need to concentrate a bit more as we shoot one scene per day, while in television we shoot couple of scenes together.”

Speaking about her role in the movie, Roshni Chopra says, “I pay Dino Morea’s girlfriend. She is a very sweet girl. Although it is just a cameo role, it is a very interesting role. I did not have much time to concentrate entirely on the role because of my hectic schedule.” And how was it like working with Dino Morea? “Oh”, quips Roshni, “Dino is a fabulous actor and an amazing person. It was great fun working with him. He is very professional when it comes to his work”. You are also sharing screen space with two television actors, Chetan and Karan, how was it like? Roshni replies, “It was great working with them. We know each other from television so we had a good time together.”

And how does it feel moving on to the silver screen? “There is not much difference in television and cinema today. The pace at which entertainment is moving is so fast that both the mediums are almost on par with each other”, comments Roshni.

We tried to get Karan Singh Grover and Simone Singh, but they were unavailable for comments.

'No comments' is what we can get from Muskaan..
Muskaan Mehani has shut all doors to media now with her exit from Dill Mill Gayye and entry in 9X's Dahhej. Read on..








Recently, the Dil Mill Gayye cast and crew got together for a one of a kind Valentine's night out. Among the actors present there, we caught up with Muskan Mehani who had made her presence in the Star One show, but now has slowly faded off with time.

The actress who is now currently in the lime light with Dahhej on 9X, has just one answer to all media queries on her comeback to Dill Mill Gayye.. "No comments". All the reporters there had the same question to ask, whether Dr. Sapna will stage a comeback. She simply said, "I don't know anything, please ask the creative team." On trying to get on to some more info, when the reporters quizzed her on the track in Dahhej, the actress promptly came out with the same above answer.

Upon asking, what's next in her career, she said, "I might do a film". Thinking that they may have something here, the scribes made the cardinal sin of asking her about the role, the girl again immediately went into her shell and remarked, "If I say anything, my director will kill me."

Nana Patekar's look-alike in Dill Mill Gayye
A fun-riot on Star One's Dill Mill Gayye with the entry of Nana Patekar's look-alike, Mahesh Jadhav....







Mahesh Jadhav, the popular Marathi actor has entered Star One's youth oriented serial, Dill Mill Gayye as the new patient at Sanjeevani Hospital. The actor is a look-alike of the famous Bollywood star Nana Patekar; and his mannerisms, the way he talks and walks, resemble the Big Nana to the core so much, that the entire unit of Dill Mill Gayye ran upto him, demanding for autographs mistaking Mahesh for the real star.

Mahesh is introduced in Dill Mill Gayye to give a new dimension of humour to the story and cast his magic spell on the interns. Even though he gets admitted in the hospital with severe throat infection, he yells his heart out, exactly in Nana Patekar Ishtyle to get things done at his own will. He directs a unique play for a cultural event in the show called 'Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya' which is an amalgamation of three great love stories – Romeo-Juliet, Heer-Ranjha and Soni-Mahiwal…and our five interns, along with Dr. Shubhankar are playing these roles…

Get ready for a laughter riot with Mahesh Jadhav in Dill Mill Gayye...

would love to be born as a Star Son - Pankit Thakkar
We catch Pankit Thakkar, aka Dr Atul Joshi, for some quick fire griling.









Your Nickname: Sweetu

Your Best Personal Quality: Sincerity and Optimism.

Your Weak Point according to you: My naivety. I easily believe everything and everybody and take everything at it�s face value. That has caused me a lot of grief and pain.

Your Biggest Influence is: The biggest influence in my life has been my own optimism. I have complete faith in myself. That is why even when everyone had advised, even warned me against becoming an actor as they thought I would never make it, even my astrological charts seem to say so, I kept faith in myself and finally became what I wanted to.

If you could go back in time you would...? : I would want to born as a star son so that I could at least get a launch vehicle.

If you could be anyone else you would be...?: No one. I am happy the way I am.

Greatest gift you have ever received: To be honest, nothing noteworthy as such.

First thing that you do when you wake up every morning : I go to the kitchen and make myself a cup of tea. It is something I like to do myself, as I am very particular about the way I have my morning cuppa.

Your best role so far: I enjoyed shooting for Special Squad. Sometimes, you click with everyone on the sets. Special Squad was like that. Starting from the spot boy to the camera person to the actors to the script writers, everyone bonded there. We had a fabulous time. Also, my the role I played in Kabhi Sautan Kabhi Saheli I believe had many shades to it, and it�s very close to my heart.

Working in Dill Mill Gayye has been : It has been very different, and very professional. Because of the tight shooting schedules, we have not have had quality bonding time. Everyone keeps to their make up vans if they are not shooting, and the atmosphere is highly professional and driven. I love it that way as I also love the time I get to myself.

As told to Minnie.

'I am really excited to have Karan in my life' -Shraddha Nigam
The beautiful Shraddha Nigam talks about her new project in Zee Next, and also about her Baliye, Karan Grover..

Despite climbing up the popularity charts fast and having many offers in her hand, Shraddha Nigam is one actress who is very chosy about the kind of roles she does. "I admit, I am very choosy about my roles. I have been working continiously for the last few years and want to take it a bit easy now. She was busy in Dubai shooting for two Pakistani serials," says the pretty actress who was last seen in Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Sa Asmaan.

"I know people often complain that I act in very few serials and that I should take up more work. I feel honoured that my fans think this way, but I always want to be remembered for my role and my performances, not for the number of serials I act in," she explains.

So what's up her sleeve now? "I am shooting for a new show on the soon-to-be-launched channel, Zee Next, Hum Tum, where I am playing the role of a simple workaholic girl. It is a triangular love story, with me, Sachin Sharma and Sampada Vaze playing the pivotal roles," says Shraddha.

Shraddha is going great guns in her personal life as well. She has managed to find her love in Karan Singh Grover. "I am really excited to have him in my life. Karan is a wonderful person. He is extremely fun loving and a very positive guy," says the blushing beauty.

How does she rate Karan the actor? "I feel his new role in Dill Mill Gayye is the best so far. Karan is a brilliant actor. When I was shooting for my new show in Goa, everyday I would create some scene to ensure that I see Karan's show on television!", says the excited lover girl. The duo was even supposed to take part in Nach Baliye, but due to clash of dates for Shraddha, it did ot materialise.

Currently Shraddha is busy with two films which she doesn't want to discuss in detail at this point. Point taken Shraddha, we will wait!

HOPE ITZ NT BEEN POSTED HERE B4!

The police have registered a case against Telugu actor and former MP Mohan Babu for allegedly intimidating and slapping actress Shilpa Shivanand during the shooting of a film in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

Shilpa's sister is a Mumbai-based actress, Sakshi Shivanand.

The police booked the case under sections 342 (wrongful confinement), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (insult intended to provoke breach of peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) IPC against the film actor-cum-producer at the Jubilee Hills Police Station.

The incident reportedly took place around 1500 IST at Annapurna Studios on the sets of a Telugu film titled Vishnu, wherein Mohan Babu's son Vishnuvardhan is making his debut opposite Shilpa Shivanand.

Shilpa had earlier acted in another Telugu film Bezawada Police Station three years ago.

In her complaint, Shilpa Shivanand alleged that Mohan Babu wanted Shilpa to do a kissing scene with Vishnu in a song sequence for the film, which is halfway through.

Not satisfied with the first take, Mohan Babu asked Shilpa to repeat the scene, which she refused.

An infuriated Mohan Babu allegedly abused her in filthy language, slapped her, caught her by her hair and dragged her, due to which she fell down and suffered minor injuries on her face.

The actress went to the make-up room and informed her mother Parveen Shivanand.

When the latter intervened,� Mohan Babu allegedly got hold of her hair and pushed her, hurling abuses. He reportedly slapped her and threatened her of dire consequences if she did not leave the place immediately.

Shilpa and her mother left the scene in tears and lodged a complaint with the Jubilee Hills police around 1700 IST. Later, they left for Mumbai.

By the time the police went to the studios to investigate, everyone had packed up and left for the day.

Karan Singh is numerology's latest victim."My real name is actually Karan Singh Grover.But I never used Grover earlier.I've made the change for numerological reasons. It comes to a better number."is his explanation

Landing in Dill...is quite a bonus."I went for an audition,a look test and got the role.And the going's great.I play Dr.Armaan Malik.It's fun because I play a character very close to myself,and someone who's my age too.Armaan is naughty and full of life.Also,it's a different show.I'm not saying family dramas are boring,but they are not something I can relate to myself,It's not the usual saas-bahu stuff;it's a youth oriented show about doctors.There is drama,but it's very profession related,not home related.Plus working here,in such a positive environment,helps immensely.There's no bickering,everyone gets along,and there are no insecurities.The story line may be quite cliched at times,but,still,it is shot differently.We dont have cheat shots,nor do we use duplicates.I'm quite involved in the creative side too.I read scripts beforehand,check the screenplay out,and even try and attend the creative meetings.I've never done all this for any othr show in my life,"he reveals.

He had to make a lot of changes for this chow, like dropping out of his previous projects to concentrate solely on this."Before I got Dill...I was doing Solah Singaarr and I even did Parivar on Zee for a weekThen I left both for Dill...Star and Cinevistaas needed an exclusivity contract.I didnt have a choice."

Was he disappointed with the way the show Solah Singaarr eventually turned out for him?
"I was disappointed by the change of the story actually.It turned out okay;the show is doing quite well.I liked the whole initial bit,when the story dealt with widow remarriage.That was a touchy subject.But after that something went wrong and more characters were brought in.I preferred the initial story anyday."

Wasn't he supposed to go back to working with Balaji with a very big show?
"Yes,that's true.I was playing the lead in Khwaish.To be precise, I was t play Sumeet Sachdev's younger brother.Sumeet's character eventually dies,and I was going to take over after that.That's why I was to shift to Dubai as well.We even shot for it,some of the shaadi sequences here.But the dates didnt work out,and then my passport was taking too long to get renewed.It had expired,and by the time I managed to renew it,it was a little late.Also they needed 25 days in Dubai,which I couldn't give,because that time I was doing Solah Singaarralso.15 days is all I had in hand.Initially,Balaji was okay with it,but then the passpost problem added to the confusion.They got stuck and had to find somebody else."

He's open to any new work that comes along the way.
"My shecule may be tight,but anything can be worked out.Work is work,and is always welcome!"

He's finally moved on from his painful break up with Barkha Bisht and has found love with Shraddha Nigam.A year ago,Karan had become quite a Devdas. Today he's happy and raring to go."Nobody stays depressed for so long in life generally.I've moved on,both personally and professionally."

He elaborates,"I've only started seeing Shraddha since about 6 months now. We used to keep bumping into each othet because of common friends.We mest properly at an after-party for an awards function.I remember it was the 31st March.Dates are not something I'm forced to remember;I just tend to remember dates,clothes,colours,scenes and dialogues.I even remember my dialogues from Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi.I can't help it.'

He goes on," So yeah,I met her at the party,where we partied for a bit.And then she didn't want to go home and I didnt want to go home either.So we sat at the J.W.Marriott all night,talking.It was the first time I spoke to someone for so long.I spoke to Shraddha from 1 o'clock in the night to 8 o'clock in the morning at the coffee shop.We were talking about anything an d everything in life,any nonsense.That's how it started."

How different is this relationship from the one he had with Barkha?"Very different!I'm also at a place in my life where I'm a little sorted in my head.And she's(Shraddha) been in this industry and in this world much before me.She's a little older than me.And she's very mature and balanced.That's the kind of person I needed actually.We connect at all levels. There are things which she doesnt even have to say and I just know."

He adds,"Sometimes you dont have this kind of relationship with your spouse.Sometimes you might have it with your best friend.With Shraddha,it's like that.The kind of connection I have with my best friends from college,whom I've known for some nine years now,I have with Shraddha in six months.It's very strange actually;nice but strange."

Karan doesnt wish to spoil things by dwelling too much on the future."I'm not thinking about the future and neither is she.We'd rather take it one day at atime.I've decided not to think so much anymore.I'm not thinking;she's not thinking;we're both just doing our respective work and we're happy that way."

But why so many denials initially?"I dont deny anything in life.But she was a little apprehensiveat first.Maybe she was worried because I've always been linked with so many women.Or perhaps she didn't want her parents to know.i really don't know.Women are always a bit antsy in the beginning.So I played along.She didn't want to tell anyone,so I didnt tell a soul." They dont know where to go from here."We really dont know.And my motto in life now is to not think at all.I dont think about tomorow.After all that I've been through in these 25 years of life, I realize that if you're really happy right now,then you'll be happy tomorrow as well.Just concentrate on now;tomorrow doesnt matter.What's the point of planning,when it might not work out?It just gets upsetting."

Now Shraddha is totally comfortable with Karan talking about their relationship."Now,I've interacted a lot with her parents.I keep going to her house for dinner quite often.Her mom and dad are also a little more comfortable with me now.Basically, she's totally cool with the fact that we're together."

Karan's new resolution-"Whatever you have right now,just give it your 140%,the rest will happen when it has to." 2 of his films,Magna Films' Bhram-An Illusion and Saurabh Shukla's I Think I Am 24

SUKIRTI'S INTERVIEW



Star One’s Dill Mill Gayye has at last revealed its new Riddhima and as confirmed by Telly Buzz few days back, it is the Jersey No. 10 girl Sukriti Khandpal who gets into the shoes of Shilpa Anand.

Here is Telly Buzz reporter Binita Ramchandani talking to the beautiful Sukriti Khandpal at the press conference held recently….

"Did you expect that you will get to play the role of Riddhima?
Yes, I was very confident that I will get this role. When I started my shoot, I was nervous but the way the production house supported me has been remarkable. Even the co-artists have put me at ease and I am enjoying every moment of my shoot.

Any specific preparation you had to undergo to get into the shoes of Riddhima..
I think Riddhima is a very natural and real character, which does not need much preparation. Above all, I am very happy that I am not playing the stereotype girl who will only be seen wearing short skirts (laughs). I am glad that I have got two real characters to play in television, whether it is Jersey No. 10 or Dill Mill Gayye.

How important do you think is your co-star? How do you think you will go about sharing screen space with Karan?
I think in any serial you work in, the co-star plays a major role. Karan and I have become very good friends in a short span of time. He has made me feel comfortable on the sets. I just hope that we both can have a good chemistry going on screen too..

Shilpa Anand has been the face of Riddhima and has carved a niche for herself in the viewers’ heart. Do you think you will be able to do justice to the role?
I think it is for the audience to decide. The only thing I can say at the outset is that I will put in my 100 percent to work. I am pretty confident that with the support and encouragement of the production house, channel and my co-artists, I will slowly make a place for myself in the viewers’ heart. I hope and pray that I am successful in living up to the expectation of one and all.

What kind of a rapport do you share with Shilpa Anand? Have you talked to her after getting selected for this role?
Well, please note that Shilpa and I have worked together in the past and we share a very good rapport. In fact, she was very happy when she got to know that I will play Riddhima and she welcomed me on the sets very nicely. She has always been very helpful.

What is your dream role?
I would always want to play realistic characters and would love to try something new and different every time I take up a new role.

If not an actor, then what would you have been?
Well, I would have been a social worker or a lawyer.

DMG creatives deliberating on ending the show
In an interview with the creative team of the popular Star One show Dill Mill Gayye it was revealed that the creative team has been discussing other options… yes after rumors were dispelled regarding the end of the show an insider of the team has spoken openly about the falling TRP rates, plan of action to increase them, the reason behind the falling apart of the story , and also the events that caused the protagonist of the show – Shilpa Anand who played the role of doctor Ridhima to walk out suddenly last month

This source who wishes to remain unnamed stated that Dil Mil Gaye was initially a very youth oriented show but now that the show had been circling around the static issue of Armaan and Ridhima-- the lead roles, TRP rates have been falling… he also reveals that many of the viewers have left the show and many will do so eventually since the story line was not changed much even after Shilpa left.

THE FALLING TRP

Statistics show that TRP rates first started falling when during in January after open admittance of love armaan and ridhima started dating, while teenagers thoroughly enjoyed the small misunderstandings they did not approve of the childish behaviour from both the characters, the next fall was when Armaan played by Karan Grover was caught by Ridhima in helping out of his friends and not informing Ridhiuma about it, ensuing from this was a thoroughly blasphemious break up that carried on until well into march and even a reconciliation has not taken place.

THE STORY LINE
It is believed that the creatives themselves have not harmoniously run the show, yes even they have tussled over various scenes and dialogues which has caused the story line to be so uneven. The technical head recently visited a well knows DMG website which claimed to receive instant feedback from the viewers after every promo and it was seen that most of them if not irritated with the repeatition of various scenes then downright fussed over the little progress the story had made. Yet due to unsettled disputes between the team itself the complaints have not been answered.

ISSUE WITH THE FEMALE LEAD

Here our claimer is more adamant about secrecy as this information was not given out by the female lead itself which was played by Shilpa Anand. As most fans would be aware Shilpa recently walked out last month after quoting better offers from bollywood which is commonly known as Bollywood calling in this industry such as in the case of Rajeev khandelwal who walked out of an Ekta Kapoor serial 2 years ago and currently has debuted in a movie called Aamir. Shilpa played the role of Ridhima for approximately 10 months and even though the contract required a year of her participation. Although websites cited these reasons this creative claimed that Shilpa has many issues with the creative team and was not at all pleased by the critiscism she was receiving over her role, since her role had been introduced as an ambitious in the moment kind of person who was dedicated to the medical profession the sudden change in her regarding love life was not well received. Shilpa herself complained more than once about the way in which the story was constantly going around in circles. Infact there were sometimes when there was a cold war between the director Shilpa since they were giving into her demands namely for more footage to her role as a more decisive and active person. But when the fights became more greater Shilpa was not able to take anymore and left soon after though she was not happy about leaving her fans midway.

PLAN OF ACTION
The creatives plan to give more footage to other characters such as the patients and other interns and also build up other relationships as in the relationship between all the interns, the head of sanjeevani doctor shashank and his daughters and also improvement in the Armaan and Ridhima angle.

THE FINAL ISSUE “IS DMG GOING OFFAIR SOMETIME SOON?”

This is still being debated upon apparently. The creatives seem to take Shilpa leaving as a certain setback which will take time to recover though fans aren’t keen to grant such time again to the show, so yes the creatives are discussing other options such as starting another show with the same actors and a different background yet this hasn’t been finalized and as before is still just a rumor as far as the director is concerned. Although the actors remain tightlipped about such discussions many other rumors continue to circle around DMG.

[neeha123]

oh nooooooo... i wish dmg wouldn't end! but i guess that's the only way to stop the story from going around in circles... :(

ABOUT ARMAAN MANIA IN OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER!!

CRAZY KIYA RE!!

ARMAAN HAMARE!
THERE ARE QUITE A FEW MEN ON TV WHO CAN SAFELY BE CALLED AS DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. BUT IT IS KARAN SINGH GROVER OF A POPULAR SERIAL DILL MILL GAYYE WHO IS MILES AHEAD OF OTHERS! PAYAL LAKHWANI A 16 YEAR OLD GUSHES "I SIMPLY ADORE HIS LOOKS, HIS DASHING PERSONALITY AND HIS EFFORTLESS STYLE OF ACTING. I HAVE MADE A SCRAP BOOK WITH HUNDREDS OF HIS PHOTOGRAPHS. I KEEP LOOKING AT THE PICTURES ON AND OFF AND WHEN NOBODY IS WATCHING I ALSO GO AHEAD AND SMOOCH HIS PHOTOS". HER MOTHER ALSO UNDERSTANDS HER CRUSH FOR HIM BUT SOMETIMES SHE IS ALSO AGHAST BY HER MADNESS!!

PAYAL'S FRIEND PRACHI KHANDELWAL GOES A STEP FURTHER. A DIE HARD ADMIRER OF KSG, PRACHI CONFESSES' " I HAVE POSTERS OF KSG ALL OVER MY ROOM AND I KISS THEM FROM TIME TO TIME. TO BE HONEST I WOULD LIKE TO DATE HIM AND CHAT WITH HIM FOR HOURS AND HOURS."

REHANA REVEALS THAT SHE HAD A HUGE FIGHT WITH HER DAD WHEN HE REFUSED TO LET HER WATCH DILL MILL GAYYE. "I CREATED A LOT OF FUSS AND REFUSED TO HAVE MY DINNER AND SULKED TILL FINALLY DAD RELENTED AND PROMISED THAT HE WOULD NEVER FORBID ME TO SEE MY SERIAL AGAIN!!"

I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THIS KIND OF ARMAAN MANIS IN MY CITY, I HAD NO IDEA, I WISH I KNEW THESE GIRLS, THEN MAYBE WE CAN START OUR OWN 'I LOVE KARAN CLUB' IN OUR CITY!! -PARIZAD.

srrry to be posting my views here but dmg production house has a say in india-forums and they r the ones who have always published articles trying to bash shilpa up.i guess its their new venture in this direction coz we all know its mr sunil mehta who has a prb with shilpa bcoz she wanted proper respect an dhe treated her like dirt.the production house even gets all teh threads related to prasing shilpa deleted from india-forums.that is how low they go.

“You can get everything if you dream”:Sukirti Khandpal

I am… passionate

My inspiration… my mother

My strength… will power

My weakness… I am very emotional

Marriage … life long commitment

Lust is… something that everybody has

Love is… Rajasthan (My boyfriend stays there)

I feel happy when… my family members are happy

I feel angry when… climate is hot

I’m obsessed about… hair

I’m fussy about… cleanliness

Memorable moment… when I joined Dill Mill Gaye

Embarrassing moment… my skirt was about to fall during a shoot of Jersey No.10 but thank God I realised it.

As a child… I was very lazy and used to eat a lot

One thing I could change about my self… I would want to be little less cynical about things in my life

On a deserted island I would love to go with… Jude Law

Your idea of a perfect date… candle light dinner atop a hill and I’m dressed in a white gown. It’s just so perfect.

Weirdest dream… that I’m getting married. It is weird as I don’t want to marry so soon.

Secret desire… own a Hummer car

I feel most comfortable when… I’m in a clean place

When not working… I either shop or am in the parlour or at home lazing around

My favourite colour is… Black

Last time I cried was… recently when I was shooting an emotional scene.

Last movie that I have seen was… Mere Baap Pehle Aap

Philosophy of life… You can get everything if you dream and visualise it.

Ridhima Tiwari to be envied in Dill Mill Gayye

Ridhima is soon doing a cameo in Dill Mill Gayye. After introducing Shaleen Bhanot in a cameo, the show has now roped in Ridhima who plays the role of Mahek in Annu Ki Ho Gayee Wah Bhai Wah

Ridhima is going to play Dr. Paromeeta, a childhood friend of Shubhankar. Kirti and Shubhankar are in love with each other. The closeness of Shubhankar and Paromeeta makes Kirti jealous. Ayaz Khan and Soniya play the characters of Shubhankar and Kirti respectively.


Paromeeta has started

shooting for this show from yesterday and will be on air in the coming week. Ridhima who is a friend of director Nasir and actor Karan Grover is excited to work with them. She is even more excited playing a doctor. "I was a science student and my parents wanted me to become a doctor. I am sure they will be happy to see me as a doctor in this show. I just love this white coat and stethoscope. I am shown as a beautiful doctor wearing satin shirts and elegant skirts," said an elated Ridhima.


"I am told that I am going to be in this show for 6-8 episodes. Till the time I am in this show I am enjoying every bit of my role," the actress said.


We guess these cameos add refreshment to this sprightly show Dill Mill Gayye

'I am just like Dr Armaan'

July 17, 2008

Karan Singh Grover's charming looks is a big hit with the girls. The actor who plays Dr Armaan Mallik (intern) in Dilli Mill Gayye made his television debut in the popular MTV show Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi. He followed this up with Solaah Singaar and also essayed a negative role in Kasuati Zindagi Kay. He is currently anchoring a reality show Zara Nachke Dikha on Star One. He tells Rajul Hegde more. Excerpts:


Tell us about your background.
I came to Mumbai in 2000 to do a hotel management course. Following this, I worked as a marketing executive with Hotel Sheraton in Muscat for a year. It was in 2004 that I participated in the Gladrags Mr India contest and bagged the most popular model award. After that I did few ramp shows and ads. Then I was selected to for Balaji Telefilms' [Get Quote] show Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi on MTV.


How is the real Karan like?
I am just like Dr Armaan -- fun loving, flirtatious, and tension free. I am serious about my work but apart from that I am always playing pranks on people. As a viewer I relate more to Dil Mill Gayye.


What is that one thing about Dr Armaan that appeals to you the most?
That he is well educated and a doctor whereas I just hold a degree in hotel management.


How does it feel to be a part of a number one and a hugely popular show?
It is a nice feeling that the show is popular among the younger generation. It has enough spice and fun. People can relate to it as it is not too dramatic.


Recently Shilpa Anand (Dr Riddhima) quit the show. Did it affect the TRP ratings since you both shared a very good chemistry onscreen?
I try to keep away from the TRP game. My whole team and I are really missing her because it was a team effort that made this show popular. We are like a family.


Tell us about Sukriti Khandpal (the new Dr Riddhima)?
It will take time for viewers to get used to any new character. Now they have accepted her. Sukriti is doing a good job.


What are your other interests?
I love to sing. I also had a band during my college days in Saudi Arabia called Thousand Decibels. If not an actor, I would have become a singer. I am very passionate about work. I am a fitness freak I go to gym before going my shoot. I also do yoga.


You have admitted that you are flirtatious? Does your girlfriend Shraddha Nigam mind when you flirt?
I am flirtatious by nature but I have never hurt anyone. She knows that I am a one-woman man.


How do you mange to spend time with her despite hectic schedules?
We meet for dinner and sometimes go for a long drive.


Which is your favourite show on television?
Frankly speaking, I don't get time to watch even my shows. I work 14 hours a day. I love to comedy shows whenever I have the time.


Ours sources say that you have been offered Nach Baliye?
Even I heard this from someone. But I haven't got any such offer. I would defiantly love to do it. Nach Baliye will be shot after Zara Nachke Dikha (which he is hosting) so there is still time.

This is the first time you are anchoring a show? What is the kind of preparation you are doing?
I am really very excited to host the show. I want to be myself and not bound by the script. Audience will see me sans a doctor's coat. I will definitely take tips from my close friends in the industry. I always believe in showing the audience the real Karan and will not imitate anyone.

Any films?
Yes but nothing is finalised. I don't plan things. I am open to everything that comes my way.


I don't know if this article has been posted before, just found it on the net, so thought of posting it!:)

hey thnx a lot

[funky gal]

Karans interview!


What have you been up to?
I've been shooting non-stop for 40 days. It's the longest time I've ever shot.

Dill Mill Gayye didn't have a bank of episodes.. right?
It still doesn't. The tough part is that I'm required for most of the scenes.. in Dill Mill.. and Zara Nachke Dikha that I'm hosting.

What gives you strength?
Please don't say Shradhha Nigam. (Laughs) There is no other way really. I sleep for five hours, have six meals a day and devote one hour to exercise. That keeps me going.

Do reports of your phone being switched off or your not reporting for shoots upset you?
Yes. No one will correct a miscommunication which led to me getting a wrong call-time for the shoot. It's easy to blame an actor.

Were you nervous about anchoring Zara Nachke.. ?
I'm not used to a teleprompter. In fact I'm not used to taking any instructions right from my childhood. It's a birth defect.

Aren't the fights on the set a little childish?
They are juvenile but we are catering to an audience that is.. .. Juvenile? No, younger. It's a section that likes such fights and doesn't think of them as kiddish.

Which of the contestants on the show get the maximum attention from you?
Swini Khara, who played my little girlfriend in Dill Mill.. and Jenni (Jennifer Winget) who is a buddy. And of course, Miss Wow - Shweta (Gulati), my co-anchor.

What's on in Dill Mill Gayye?
Arman, that's me, and Ridhima, that's Sukriti (Khandpal), are falling in love.

Tell me something I don't know.
We are trying to do what everyone likes. This is what clicks best with the viewers.

Have you seen Grey's Anatomy?
Yes, in fact, our show was supposed to be on the lines of Grey's Anatomy. Then it moved on to become Scrubs.. now we are again back to Grey's.. with more patients coming in.

Shraddha says she can watch you play basketball for hours. What do you like watching her do?
Yoga. I wake up early in the morning just so I can watch her do asanas. She looks hot.

Which other actress do you think is hot?
Shveta Salve.

How was the drag experience in Dill Mill Gayye?
Horrible! I made the ugliest woman.. my voice didn't help. I think I lost a couple of fans. Pankitt (Thakker) was the only pretty girl.

I believe you don't comb your hair.
I don't remember the last time I did. I have to cut it every 15 days because it grows so fast. I think all my protein goes to my hair.

You are a certified chef. Which are the best and worst items that you have dished out?
I haven't cooked for a while. I make amazing Spanish chicken. I can't make a round chapati, though. It looks like an amoeba.

You initially hid your tattoo on the show. Why?
The producers asked me to. Their logic was that doctors can't have tattoos. I didn't buy it. Once the show and its characters became popular, we let it out.

Brahm was your foray into Bollywood.
Let's not go there. I did it for a friend. Anyway I don't think many people saw it. Those who did didn't even realise I was in it.

Will Shraddha and you be a part of Nach Baliye Season Four?
Let's see. I'm open to anchoring it as well. How would you react if you woke up one day and realised you have become Shraddha? (Laughs) I'd go easy on Karan.

Who would not want to send a cute friendship message to the current hot and happening hunk of Indian Television, Karan Singh Grover!!

When Shraddha Nigam was asked how many bands has she caught Karan with, prompt came the reply, “He gets so many friendship bands that I just cannot keep count”. When asked about his best friends the handsome hunk replies very candidly, “Yes I have many and Shraddha is amongst my best friends. Above all, she is my girl friend too”.

Shraddha and Karan are seeing each other for long now. When Karan was questioned if friendship is a must for love he informed, “Well for us it was totally different. We first fell in love, then became good friends.”

The best part of their relationship is that, both never fail to compliment each other wherever we meet them. It was the same even this time when Shraddha was asked to tell about some good qualities of Karan. “I can go on and on if I start on this subject. He is very patient, caring, understanding and sensible and also a sensitive person. Also he is the best person I have come across,” says Shraddha laughingly. How about singing a song for Karan, and Shraddha chirps back laughingly, “No not me!! In our relationship it is always Karan who does the singing part while I dance. He is a good singer, you don’t know that??”

We wish that Shraddha dances to the sweet tunes of Karan for life!!

How is the ZND experience?

I'm loving the idea of boys vs girls and it's great to do anchoring as here there won't be any tension for me but at the same time I'm missing the dance floor. I go crazy when it comes to dancing and I'm missing Shraddha. I'm thankful that she is not in the team of mithi churi ladkiyaan. Even she loves this concept of dance where there is no elimination.

According to you who are strongest and funniest contestants from both the sides?

Among the Tez Talwar Ladke it's Bhaktiyar, Ali Asgar, Chaitanya Choudhary while among Mithi Churiyaan it's Mouni Roy, Karishma Tanna and sometimes Delnaaz Paul also.

So are you enjoying your new act of anchoring?

Oh yes it's wonderful and as an actor I got to know how to anchor. There is less hard work but at the same time you have to concentrate more on the anchor script. I knew before doing Dil Mil Gaye that I will be anchoring for Star. I'm happy with anchoring and again Zara Nach Ke Dikha has everything emotion, romance and masti.

What's happening in Dil Mil Gaye?

Lots happening in the life of Dr.Aarmaan and his love. Our love track has started so lots of masti and love is happening.

TOI ARTICLE : KNOW YOUR KARAN !!
Did you know there are at least 10 Karans on the small screen? AT presents a checklist

Koffee Time:

Be it films or television, 35-year-old Karan Johar rules the marquee in whichever medium he dabbles in. His inimitable style and wit has ensured that the who's who of the film and television fraternity vie for an invite to his signature talk show - 'Koffee with Karan' .

Pop Star:

A singer, before an actor and an anchor, the hunky Karan Oberoi is one of the 'Band of Boys' . These days, he's as much in the news for hosting 'Antakshari' as he is for his relationship with Mona 'Jassi' Singh.

Boy next door:

This young lad hit it big with Smriti Irani's production - Viruddh, where he has a strong role as Smriti's younger brother . Known to be her blue-eyed boy, Karan Mehra has also done a cameo in Abhishek Bachchan starrer Drona.

Heartthrob:

This 25-year-old chemical engineer from Bombay Institute of Technology has been a model and VJ before he made his small screen debut with the afternoon soap Saarthi. Now Karan Grover is turning heads in the prime time soap Meri Awaaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni and is shaking a leg with Kavita Kaushik in Nach Baliye 3.

Budding hunk:

Fast becoming an Ekta Kapoor favourite, Karan Patel, who started out playing cameos in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Kasauti Zindagi Kay, is now essaying the male lead in Kasturi, where he plays a rock singer, complete with the attitude . There's been a buzz that love's blossomed on the sets of Kasturi with Karan spending a substantial part of his offscreen time with pretty co-star Amita Chandekar.

Dude with attitude:

Karan Singh Grover might have started off his television debut in a negative role in Kasauti Zindagi Kay, but a year later he's playing the male lead in the Sanjeevani sequel in Dil Mil Gaye.


CONTI......
Chocolate boy:

At 19, Karan Wahi's the youngest Karan on small screen. With his chocolate boy looks, this Delhiite became a heartthrob in the teenage soap Remix. He's also one of those few actors who's reportedly rejected an Ekta Kapoor soap!

Stardust in his eyes:

Karan Panthaky left tellyworld for tinselville. After feeling dissatisfied with his eight-month stint as Ansh in Saarthi, he's now concentrating on films and has even starred in the recently released Marigold. His upcoming projects include a music video.

Also there:

Tina Ambani's nephew Karan Shah broke hearts in the 1980 flick Jawani, followed by a disastrous filmi innings. Last seen as a small screen daddy in Jab Love Hua.

Fire band:

Karan Thapar remains one of the most well known names in the TV news category. Besides his skills in interviewing, he is known for his acerbic remarks and sharp questions on ca

Pankit Thakker has a great fall...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pankit Thakker has a great fall...







Pankit Thakker aka Dr. Atul broke his leg while on shoot, and is now seen nursing in a wheel chair in the serial too...


Dr. Atul of Dill Mill Gayye is nowadays trying hard to woo Dr. Anjali, but gets into problems every time he tries his luck there!!

But this time, Pankit Thakker faced a bigger problem as he fractured his leg when he was trying to impress his on screen love Dr. Anjali. “There was a scene where I had to climb a pipe to go to Anjali’s room; but unfortunately fell down and broke my leg. The doctor has advised me to take two weeks of rest”, says the actor.

But the actor is not going on a break as the creative team has changed the script to accommodate Pankit even with his broken leg. “I will continue shooting, as Dr. Atul is shown with a fractured leg in the show. I will be seen in a wheel chair till I get alright”, states Pankit.

Well, as we wish Pankit a speedy recovery, we hope Dr. Atul too gets his share of luck when it comes to girls….

[purplegirl]

Well...I saw this article on IF, sorry if it has allready been posted before, but anyways, here it goes:-

Sukriti Khandpal </STRONG itxtvisited="1">has replaced Shilpa Anand in the television soap, Dill Mill Gayee, after the latter opted out. Her character Dr Riddhima has steadily climbed up the popularity charts.
Srabanti Chakrabarti</STRONG itxtvisited="1"> caught up with the actress to find out more about her.
First, tell us about yourself.
I am from Nainital, Uttaranchal. My father is a public prosecutor in Nainital, and my mother is a housewife. I came to Mumbai when I was 14. People think that I came to Mumbai to join the glamour world. But the truth is that I came here to study in a good school. Mumbai is the best place for that.
How did you get your first break?
I was with friends at a coffee shop, when a creative director with Cinevista spotted me and asked me to meet him later for an audition. I auditioned for Jersey No 10 and was selected. I was thrilled!
Were you apprehensive about taking up Dill Mill Gayee, in a character made famous by another actress?
More than 150 episodes had been telecast with Shilpa Anand playing my role, and she was doing a good job. So making a mark was very difficult. What made matters worse was the fact I had never watched the show earlier! So I had to start from scratch.
But frankly, I was not apprehensive at all. When I was identified for this role, I thought if the production house had found me suitable, they must have had a reason. Plus, the audience would judge whether I was capable of doing the role or not.
This show has given me fame and fortune and I need to express my gratitude to it by working exclusively for Dill Mill Gayee.

http://im.rediff.com/movies/2008/sep/12sukriti2.jpg

How are your co-stars?
All of them are very nice. Karan Singh Grover (http://www.rediff.co.in/movies/2008/jul/17karan.htm) is very helpful. He made sure I was comfortable in the show. Apart from him, I must mention how much the creative heads of this serial helped me. They would always boost my ego to make sure that I performed to the best of my capabilities.
Your look here is very different from Jersey No 10.
I sported a Western look in Jersey No 10. Here, I am mostly wearing salwar suits!
In real life, I have curly hair but on screen, I have to wear straight hair. So my look in this show is quite different from what I really look.
What is your parents' reaction?
Initially, my father was upset. He felt I was too young to decide my future. I am 20 year old. He tries to protect me even now. But slowly, he started liking my work and my decisions. They were also happy since I had completed my college studies. After seeing me in Dill Mill Gayee, they are very happy and proud for me.
Is there a man in your life?
Yes, there is but he is not from the television industry. He is from the hotel industry. We have been seeing each other since our college days.

Mr. Super Cool of Zara Nach Ke Dikha
http://starone.indya.com/specials/znd/images/b.gif
////http://starone.indya.com/specials/znd/images/b.gifIs ZND more important for you than DMG, because it has originally made you one of the most wanted television stars?

“Both are important as in DMG and now Zara Nach Ke Dikha as because of my role as Dr.Armaan gave me the statues of Mr. Super Cool.”

Who is a better actor in Riddhima's role - Shilpa or Sukirti?

Sukriti needs time to get in to the role Riddhima.

You have a brother and he is a singer. Is it true?

Yes. He is singer ... during his early days he used to have a small band and I was also a part of that band though now he is working in a bank.

How is your experience with Shweta in ZND? If you are given a chance to replace Shweta then with whom would you like to replace Shweta with?

She is fantastic and so with ZND one more friend is added in my friends list. She is an awesome co-host and an awesome friend. She is a lot of fun. She is always supportive and helpful. We get along really well. I feel like I am paired up with a friend. It is really nice. I think no one can replace Shweta.

When will you marry Riddhima in Dil Mil Gaye?

I have no clue! First I want to impress Dr.Shashank then only I will get married to his daughter.

How close to you find yourself to Dr. Armaan?

Hmm quite interesting as Dr.Armaan is lovable and caring so am I with Shraddha. He also loves his profession so there are lots of similarity between Karan and Dr.Armaan.

Many contestants from the boys' team in Zara… have repeatedly felt that the judges Malaika and Chunky give wrong judgments?

I don't think the judges are biased but the judge's job is a bit difficult. Whatever they feel, they mark accordingly. We have to stay calm, value and honour the judge’s decision. So I would say that the boys reacted like any other contestant would but overall its game.

What are your hobbies?

Watching movies sometimes if its A good movie then I go with Shraddha and if not then watching films on my DVD player.

Who is funnier? Ali Asgar or Chaitanya Choudhary?

Ali Asgar, he is fantastic and Chaitanya is not at all funny but he is a good performer and dancer too.

Now, the competition has come into its final stage... what’s your take on it?

Very tough, lets see who will be winning as Meethi Churi Ladkiyaan will work hard to defeat my Tez Talwar Ladke.

Having a degree in catering, so do you cook for Shraddha?

No, that is one of her biggest complaints! I don't get time to cook but I have promised her that I will soon cook for her. On the contrary, she has cooked for me a couple of times.

Is Shilpa, old Riddhima coming back in DMG?

No she is not coming back.

Karan Singh is numerology's latest victim. "My real name is actually Karan Singh Grover. But I never used Grover earlier. I�ve made the change for numerological reasons. It comes to a better number. �Is his explanation

Landing in Dill...is quite a bonus.� I went for an audition, a look test and got the role. And the going's great. I play Dr.Armaan Malik. It's fun because I play a character very close to myself, and someone who's my age too. Armaan is naughty and full of life. Also, it's a different show. I�m not saying family dramas are boring, but they are not something I can relate to myself, it�s not the usual saas-bahu stuff; it�s a youth oriented show about doctors. There is drama, but it's very profession related, not home related. Plus working here, in such a positive environment, helps immensely. There�s no bickering, everyone gets along, and there are no insecurities. The story line may be quite cliched at times, but, still, it is shot differently. We don�t have cheat shots, nor do we use duplicates. I�m quite involved in the creative side too. I read scripts beforehand, check the screenplay out, and even try and attend the creative meetings. I�ve never done all this for any other show in my life,� he reveals.

He had to make a lot of changes for this chow, like dropping out of his previous projects to concentrate solely on this.� Before I got Dill...I was doing Solah Singaarr and I even did Parivar on Zee for a week. Then I left both for Dill...Star and Cinevistaas needed an exclusivity contract. I didn�t have a choice."

Was he disappointed with the way the show Solah Singaarr eventually turned out for him?
"I was disappointed by the change of the story actually. It turned out okay; the show is doing quite well. I liked the whole initial bit, when the story dealt with widow remarriage. That was a touchy subject. But after that something went wrong and more characters were brought in. I preferred the initial story any day."

Wasn't he supposed to go back to working with Balaji with a very big show?
"Yes, that�s true. I was playing the lead in Khwaish. To be precise, I was t play Sumeet Sachdev's younger brother. Sumeet's character eventually dies, and I was going to take over after that. That�s why I was to shift to Dubai as well. We even shot for it, some of the shaadi sequences here. But the dates didn�t work out, and then my passport was taking too long to get renewed. It had expired, and by the time I managed to renew it, it was a little late. Also they needed 25 days in Dubai, which I couldn't give, because that time I was doing Solah Singaarralso.15 days is all I had in hand. Initially, Balaji was okay with it, but then the passport problem added to the confusion.They got stuck and had to find somebody else."

He's open to any new work that comes along the way.
"My schedule may be tight, but anything can be worked out. Work is work, and is always welcome!"

He's finally moved on from his painful break up with Barkha Bisht and has found love with Shraddha Enigma year ago; Karan had become quite a Devdas. Today he's happy and raring to go.� Nobody stays depressed for so long in life generally. I�ve moved on, both personally and professionally."

He elaborates,� I�ve only started seeing Shraddha since about 6 months now. We used to keep bumping into each other because of common friends. We most properly at an after-party for an awards function. I remember it was the 31st March. Dates are not something I'm forced to remember; I just tend to remember dates, clothes, colors, scenes and dialogues. I even remember my dialogues from Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi. I can't help it.'

He goes on," So yeah, I met her at the party, where we partied for a bit. And then she didn't want to go home and I didn�t want to go home either. So we sat at the J.W.Marriott all night, talking. It was the first time I spoke to someone for so long. I spoke to Shraddha from 1 o'clock in the night to 8 o'clock in the morning at the coffee shop. We were talking about anything and everything in life, any nonsense. That�s how it started."

How different is this relationship from the one he had with Barkha? "Very different! I�m also at a place in my life where I'm a little sorted in my head. And she's(Shraddha) been in this industry and in this world much before me. She�s a little older than me. And she's very mature and balanced. That�s the kind of person I needed actually. We connect at all levels. There are things which she doesn�t even have to say and I just know."

He adds,� Sometimes you don�t have this kind of relationship with your spouse. Sometimes you might have it with your best friend. With Shraddha, it's like that. The kind of connection I have with my best friends from college, whom I've known for some nine years now, I have with Shraddha in six months. It�s very strange actually; nice but strange."

Karan doesn�t wish to spoil things by dwelling too much on the future.� I�m not thinking about the future and neither is she. We�d rather take it one day at a time. I've decided not to think so much anymore. I�m not thinking; she�s not thinking; we�re both just doing our respective work and we're happy that way."

But why so many denials initially? �I don�t deny anything in life. But she was a little apprehensive at first. Maybe she was worried because I've always been linked with so many women. Or perhaps she didn't want her parents to know. I really don't know. Women are always a bit antsy in the beginning. So I played along. She didn't want to tell anyone, so I didn�t tell a soul." They don�t know where to go from here.� We really don�t know. And my motto in life now is to not think at all. I don�t think about tomorrow. After all that I've been through in these 25 years of life, I realize that if you're really happy right now, then you'll be happy tomorrow as well. Just concentrate on now; tomorrow doesn�t matter. What�s the point of planning, when it might not work out? It just gets upsetting."

Now Shraddha is totally comfortable with Karan talking about their relationship. "Now, I've interacted a lot with her parents. I keep going to her house for dinner quite often. Her mom and dad are also a little more comfortable with me now. Basically, she's totally cool with the fact that we're together."

Karan's new resolution-"Whatever you have right now, just give it your 140%, the rest will happen when it has to." 2 of his films, Magna Films' Bhram-An Illusion and Saurabh Shukla's I Think I Am 24


Karan Grover, popularly known as Dr. Armaan of Dill Mill Gayye, does not need to act at all. According to him, he gets paid for being himself on the sets.


Does the name Armaan ring a bell in your ears? Of course yes, because Armaan is a name that has always been associated with name, fame, success and a huge fan following. At first, Apurva Agnihotri achieved enormous success playing the role of Armaan Sir in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi. Now, the new Armaan to rock the television world is Karan �Dr. Armaan� Grover who has set all hearts thumping with his looks and charming personality in Star one�s Dill Mill Gayye.

As bubbly and energetic as his character, Karan Grover talks about his character and much more, read on.

[coolmimz]

How is it playing Dr. Armaan? �It�s been awesome playing Dr. Armaan. I relate a lot to the character I play, so I need not put in much effort. I need to go there, play myself and get back. The best part is that, there is no need for me to act for the role. This is the way I am. The plus is that, I get paid for being myself on the sets.(laughs)�


How is it being a part of a serial, centered on youth? How did you all get on so well? �Yes, all come from different backgrounds, but we connected together so well. We got comfortable with each other in no time. We built up great chemistry and that too very fast. It is a serial for the youth, and about youth. We all understand our roles very well. Moreover, I feel, playing our age, we can relate to our characters better. Our Director Nizar Parvez is also young, so he understands everything so nicely. It�s really good to be working under a young director. To me, it does not seem like work. It is a dream role for me, and I am having fun.�


Is there any difference between Armaan and Karan? �The only difference between Armaan and Karan is that, Armaan is made to wear lots of clothes, while I wear next to nothing.� You have an enormous fan following on our forum. Are you aware of this? �Yes, I am aware of the fan following I have in India-Forums. Actually, my parents who are based at Muscat regularly visit India-Forums, in fact my whole family visits. Whenever they tell me about this fan following, I get thrilled.� So why don�t you login and directly interact with your fans? �Yes, I will surely do that.� says a jubilant Karan.


How is it working with Mohnish Behl? �I have looked up to his acting as I grew up. It is awesome to work with him, I learn a lot from him. This is one reason why my scenes with him come out so well. It is a great experience, altogether.�


Your Salsa dance with Riddhima was appreciated a lot. �Yes, the Salsa was planned by the creatives. The lovely clothes were designed by our producer�s wife, who is a designer by profession. We had only half an hour�s practice for the Salsa. But it was real fun doing it. I would like to tell you that there is one more dance coming up this week in the show. Since it is Garba season, we are doing a Garba dance; I presume it will be shown sometime this week. We wear complete authentic dresses, please watch this episode, it is going to be entertaining for sure.�
With Salsa and Garba happening, why are we not seeing you in any Dance reality show? �Yes, I and my girl friend Shraddha Nigam were actually invited for this season�s Nach Baliye. But I am so into Dill Mill Gaye, so I could not take it up.� Quickly he adds, �Probably the next time��

Does it mean wedding bells in the near future? No marriage on cards as of now. We have not even talked to each other about it. (Smiles)�, says the actor as he signs off.

Who is Jas Karan?
We have heard of entire families being part of Bollywood. And this trend has caught up on the small screen as well. Brothers, sisters, cousins, parent and child can all be found displaying their talent on the small screen. The latest to join the family is Jas Karan. He is hottie Karan Singh Grover’s cousin and plays a prominent role in Miley Jab Hum Tum.

Jas Karan always wanted to be an actor. He quips, “Though I wanted to act, I was working with a telecom company as an operation analyst to secure a back- up career. One day, I felt that I should go ahead and chase my dream. So I resigned from my job and started giving auditions. My first show was Naaginn and then I did Meri Doli.... I was unhappy with my roles in both the shows. I took them up as I was told that these are good roles but they did not turn out to be so. In fact, I never wanted to act in saas bahu sagas where male actors are nothing more than a prop. After these shows, I was offered some more family dramas but I kept refusing them. Later, Miley Jab Hum Tum happened and I couldn’t have asked for a better show.”


Talking about his brother Karan Singh Grover, he says, “We share a great bond. We used to live in the same apartment. But later, Karan ditched me for Shraddha (actress Shraddha Nigam, girlfriend of Karan Singh Grover)! Well, I am just kidding. I also wanted to have a separate house of mine, so I moved out and Shraddha moved in. After watching his show Dill Mill Gayye, I realised that youth oriented shows too have a scope on Indian television. We are close to each other.”

Jas is all praise for brother Karan. He says, “Karan is very encouraging. When I was not getting the desired roles he kept encouraging me. He had come to the launch party of my show to encourage me. I had gone to the sets of Zara Nachke… to promote Miley Jab. It felt nice to share screen with him at the promotion of Miley Jab… in Zara…”

Karan Singh Grover and his sweetheart Shraddha have split, reported a news channel. We called them up to comment on it...To know more read further...

The very much in love couple Karan Singh Grover aka Dr. Armaan and Shraddha Nigam have always been open about their relationship, but now one of the news channel reported that the duo has fallen apart. The speculation is that they might not be a part of Nach Baliye 4 too now!!

To confirm the news we called up Shraddha, who shockingly replied, “There is no problem between us and we are very much together. I don’t understand why media is always behind Karan.”

When asked about being part of NB4 she quips, “We have not yet finalized as Karan is having some date issues. I can’t talk much about it.”

We smsed Karan to comment on this and he replied that, “It’s untrue and we are very much together. My lawyer will take action against anyone who spreads wrong news about us.”

We just hope that the duo does not get affected by such rumors and continue their fruitful relationship.

OH GOD! SHRUTI! FOR A SECOND THERE U REALLY SCARED ME!! I AM GLAD EVERYTHING IS FINE.... THESE AAJ TAK PPL ARE REAL BUMS! SPREADING RUMOURS LIKE THIS....:mad:

[krazy shreya]

30th sept 2008
Hey friends, i got this aricle from Mumbai mirror Pg no 36 .

The stage was set for Nach Baliye 4. But Star Plus was in for a shock as their star jodi Karan Grover and Shraddha Nigam opted out at the last minute. The reason? Karan suddenly told Star Plus that he was not very confident of his dancing skills.

Karanvir Bohra and Teejay Sidhu have replaced Karan and Shraddha in the reality show.

A source said, “Karan looked uncomfortable from the beginning. He came very late for the Meet & Greet event, which was held for the contestants to get familiar with each other.”

When contacted, Shraddha confirmed the news that they have opted out. But, she gave a different reason for the same. “We did not have time for rehearsals. Karan is too busy these days which is why we opted out,” she said.

When asked if they turned down the show because Karan is uncomfortable dancing, Shraddha said, “In fact, we hadn't confirmed our participation in the first place. It's true that Karan did come late for the Meet & Greet event, but that's because he was shooting. He has no problem dancing.”

However, sources insist that the couple opted out as Karan wasn't too comfortable dancing on the reality show.


I am so pissed off from these media people.They should first see his dance in ZND & then write such articles:mad: .

'I'm game for anything'
Says Rati Pandey, happy being the first bahu to cross over to a younger avatar

http://www.buzz18.com/media/images/2008/Sep/img_101241_ratipandey_200x150.jpg

The Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai, lead girl, Rati Pandey is super excited about her new Star One, college campus show, Miley Jab Hum Tum. "I always wanted play a character my age," says the actress who's finally happy to be part of a young show. We chatted up Rati and here's what she had to say. Read on...

What's your character like in Miley Jab Hum Tum?

I play a bubbly small town girl who comes to Mumbai for studies along with her sister. Our big-city bred cousins try to make our life hell.

What about romance ?

Every show needs a romantic track right? Mayank (Arun Bijlani) and I are poles apart. We clash in the beginning before eventually falling in love. There will be more drama to just watch out for.

Apart from you and Arjun, the rest of the cast has new actors...

Yes. But at one time even we were new right.


What according to you is the USP of the show?

The youth flavour with all the fun, frolic and romance. The socio-cultural shock that small town people face is also an added attraction.

Will your character undergo a makeover from a cute simple girl to a sexy babe?

I have no idea. But even if it does it will not be something that will shake the television industry by its roots.

After your debut show on Zee TV, Har Ghar... ended you had claimed that you wanted to do something different?
Yes and I have succeeded. I am the first bahu to cross over to a younger avatar.

Although this show is only a week old many people have come forward and asked me whether I was the same Prathna from Har Ghar... 'You look so different!', they'd say. Actually, I have shed a lot of weight and have gone in for a complete new younger look for this show.

What went wrong with Har Ghar... ?

I had always maintained that it was a good show. Unfortunately, the change in time slot brought about its downfall. I had a wonderful time doing the show and even now I am in contact with some of the cast members.

Would you mind doing more saas-bahu shows?

Why not? Having proved my versatility in doing different kind of roles, I am now game for anything including reality shows both participating and anchoring.

And what about the drama that happens on reality shows?

I really wonder whether such stunts are scripted or not. I also have doubts whether they really raise the TRPs or not. All said and done, I will always keep my personal and professional life poles apart.

Coming back to Miley... will a youth show really click, given the fact that saas-bahu shows still rule the roost.
Did Dill Mil Gaye not click? Youth content has a different audience compared to say a family soap. I have never believed in TRP. The ratings of Har Ghar... were definitely more then Dill Mil...but it was still taken off.

Share some experiences during the shoot of Miley Jab Hum Tum?

Unlike in real life, my character is the butt of most pranks. I was the biggest terror during my college days. So it was just like reliving those carefree days. It was fun!

Karan Singh Grover & Shradha Nigam in NB4 on a wild card</FONT itxtvisited="1">Now that all speculations about the participants on Nach Baliye have been laid to rest we have some other interesting news about the dance reality show.
Juhi ‘Kumkum’ Parmar and her beau Sachin Shroff were tipped to be the participants. But everyone was in for a disappointment when the jodi went amiss at the launch of the show. But for all those who were waiting to see the couple on the show there is some good news.

According to a source from the show, “Juhi Parmar and Sachin Shroff will enter the show from the ninth or tenth episode as the wild card entry. It is also been heard that even Shraddha and Karan will come on the show from the fifth episode as the second wild card entry though with Karan and Shraddha things have yet to be worked out.”

When contacted, Sachin Shroff, refuted the rumours and said, “I am not well and not allowed to even shoot for the next four to five days. I am not in Nach for sure.”

Well with many jodis like Shaleen – Daljit and Naman – Megha refusing to acknowledge their relationship and earlier their participation we wonder if Sachin is simply following suit. But our source insists that the news is true and says, “He is unwell but the ninth episode will air in the month of November and there is still time.”

We tried contacting Shraddha Nigam, Karan Singh’s girlfriend, but she remained unavailable.

With the show taking off in the next few days more such masala will keep coming. So keep watching this space.

NEW INTERVIEW:

'I am incapable of following instructions' - Karan Singh Grover




http://www1.india-forums.com/tellybuzz/images/uploads/5AC_karan_thmb.gif Karan Singh Grover gets candid with Telly Buzz as he talks of his experience hosting Zara Nachke Dikha and much more...




Karan Singh Grover, known and loved by one and all as Dr. Armaan of DMG, was recently seen as the host of Star One's reality show, Zara Nachke Dikha.

In a candid conversation, he shares his experiences, opinions and much more...

http://india-forums.com/tellybuzz/images/uploads/986_karan.jpgThis was the first time you hosted a reality show. How was the experience?
Hosting was a lot of fun; firstly because I was not playing any character, and I could be myself. Even as Armaan I am actually myself, just using another name. But it is another way of me communicating with my audience. And there are no scripted lines or anything, so you can say whatever you want. It was an enjoyable experience overall.

What are your views on the boys’ walkout in the final episode? Do you think it was justified?
They were not happy with the judging since day one, which even I agree to a certain extent. The judges were quite partial towards the girls. And I am not saying this because I am a boy, but it was quite clear that the judges were biased towards the girls. With their walkout, the boys just wanted to show the judges that if they were going to let the girls win, then what was the point of them performing. It would have been better if they had just left. I think they were justified to a certain extent. But I didn’t like the fact that they walked out, instead they could have put their point forward.

Your onscreen chemistry with Shweta Gulati has been the talk to the town, especially the act of yours in the Grand Finale. What do you have to say about this?
We do our jobs well..!! The essence of this show was the battle of the sexes. In spite of the fact that Shweta and me were constantly bickering, the chemistry in the performance was evident. This just means it’s a job well done.

You were pitted to be one of the confirmed Jodis of Nach Baliye 4; so what went wrong there?
I have another project coming up, which I can’t talk about right now... Normally what happens with me is if I am happy doing something I will do it, else I won’t. At the end of the day I wasn’t quite happy doing Nach, so I did not take it up.

There were rumors that you were throwing tantrums and the channel didn’t want you to be a part of the show... Another rumor was that you and Shraddha broke up… What are your comments on the rumors?
Shraddha and I have definitely not broken up... And I think it was the channel that was throwing more tantrums than me; they wanted everything to be done their way. I have a slight quirk, call it bad or good but I am completely incapable of following instructions. So, if you let me be myself, I will give my best to what I am doing, otherwise I just cannot do it.

You have just returned from a well-deserved vacation. You also celebrated Shraddha’s birthday in a grand way. Can you share any memorable moment with our readers?
Every moment spent with Shraddha is memorable. The vacation was amazing. We had a private beach to ourselves. It was a romantic setup with candles lit all over the place and us cooking the food.

You know how to cook?
Yes..!!

http://www1.india-forums.com/tellybuzz/images/uploads/AZE_pic1.jpgDid you cook for her that day?
No, actually I did all the eating (laughs).

When do we hear wedding bells ringing for the two of you?
I will let you know as soon as we decide.

Shweta Gulati has entered DMG, so will the track change to make way to create an angle between the two of you?
I think the basic story will remain the same. Armaan and Riddhima will continue being a couple and that won’t change. Introducing Shweta into the show is probably done to add a new spice element to the show.

Are you in touch with your ex-colleague Shilpa? And have you come to terms with the fact that she is no more a part of DMG?
I miss her dearly, because she is a very close friend of mine. We were in touch for almost a month after she left DMG. But now with our hectic schedules, it becomes rather difficult to maintain contact. She is very busy at the moment doing a film down south.

Message for your India-Forums fans?
Like I always say, please keep watching my show DMG; and I promise to continue entertaining you as long as you promise to love me.

The axe falls on Dr. Kirti in Sanjeevni as the doctor is removed...Read to know further...



Star One’s Dill Mill Gayye saw the entry of Dr. Abhimanyu Modi, played by Amit Tandon this week. And as reported earlier, the powerful man has entered Sanjeevni to take charge of the financial crisis, and also plans to remove one of the interns.

http://www.india-forums.com/tellybuzz/images/uploads/978_sonia.jpgTelly Buzz gives you an insight on the person to be sacked. “Dr. Kirti will be going out of Sanjeevni and it will be a very emotional moment for the other interns as they bid her good bye. While Dr. Armaan wishes to go out in place of Dr. Kirti, Shubankar and Kirti too have a very sad parting moment and eventually break into tears. In the midst of all this, the interns(who had nicknamed Kirti as Hitler without her knowledge) get a shock when Kirti tells them that they should feel happy now, as Hitler will be gone. The whole scene has been shot very nicely”, informs our source.

On the reason for this new twist in the tale, our source clarifies, “Sonia Singh who plays the role of Kirti wanted a 10 day break as she planned to go to her native place Jammu. Hence the creatives thought of some high intensity drama in the story to reason out her absence.”.

Nothing has been planned as of now on how they will bring Dr. Kirti back. “But this is only a temporary phase and Kirti will be back soon”, concludes our source.

Well, let us join in to bid adieu to Dr. Kirti for the moment...

yes i noticed that too aanchal! What i meant was that 'ridhima' is never gone from sanjivani on some work or the other... The way others are.... The only time 'ridhima' was not shown was when shilpa left and sukirti came! Other than that.... She has not had a break.... That was my point.

After Shweta Gulati's entry, Amit Tandon appears on on Dil Mil Gaye (Star One). Amit potrays the role of a smart businessman who has come to save the hospital.

http://news.indya.com/UserFiles/Image//November2008/11-08amit-tandon.jpg

“I am playing Abhimanyu Modi, who is a businessman and also a doctor," said Amit, "Modi is a very intelligent businessman who’s very sharp. He has come in to save Sanjeevani from its financial crisis”.

His character would not be negative, he said.

He says one of the reasons he took up the role was that he was impressed with his on-screen look.

“Abhimanyu’s shown as a well-built man in DMG and that's very fascinating… I am getting back into shape because of that,” says Amit.

And does he have a lady love to share that body with?

“Yes, that might be possible and it could even be a love triangle with Riddhima (Sukriti) and Anjali (Sunaina)," he speculated, "but frankly I really don’t know. You'll have to keep watching for that.”

Amit says at the moment his role will not be a full role. "It all depends on the audience's response," he said, "if they like Abhimanyu then perhaps my character will get extended.”

He says the role came to him a while ago and he has already been shooting for it for some six months.

Amit is the second new entry in DMG after Shweta in the past month. Shweta entered as a psychiatric intern for a cameo.

The man in Dr. Ridhima’s life

The sweet and simple Dr. Ridhima of Dill Mill Gayye aka Sukriti Khandpal (http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k8/aug/5aug/lifestyle_sukriti.php) has a man in her life. She is in a committed relationship since three years.



http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k8/nov/22nov/sukriti150.jpg

A source informs, “She is dating a hotelier. His name is still under wraps but news has it that Sukriti is seeing him since the past three years. She had met him when she was in college. Due to his hotel business, he keeps shuffling between Mumbai and London. The two of them are completely smitten by each other and in spite of being busy with their respective professions they manage to find time for each other. Incidentally, Sukriti’s father who is a High Court lawyer has also recently turned a hotelier.”



Talking of the man in her life Sukriti informs, “Yes, I have someone in my life but I wouldn’t like to name him or talk much about him.” Are your parents aware of your relationship? She replies, “My mother knows about it and I think my father has some clue that I am seeing someone.” So, is marriage on the cards? She quips, “I am only twenty one years old. I have not yet thought of getting married. Why are you asking me about marriage? It is a far off thing. Do you want me to get married and leave acting?”



On asking her about the way she is spending her free time due to the strike, she says, “Now that I have got a break from work I am using this opportunity to spend some quality time with my boyfriend and family members. I have been neglecting my family since a long time.”

[@r()()$@]

It is ironical. The Dill Mill Gayye actor Mayank Anand understands the importance of money but at the same time is a huge spendthrift.

Let’s try and unravel his ‘money’ mind.


http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k8/jul/7jul/mayanka200.jpg

How important is money for you?
It is very important. If I had to measure the importance of money in my life, I would rate it as 11/10.

Are you an impulsive buyer?
I love to shop. I blow money on shopping whenever I have an off. I believe in hard earning and spending even harder.

What are the investments you have made?
I have only invested in myself. I invest in art, books, different courses, painting and travelling.

What is your most expensive purchase?
A Honda City car I bought for Rs eight lakhs four years ago.

Do you feel financially secure?
I don’t feel financially secure because acting as a profession is uncertain. I have many things to do now.

Who handles your expenses?
I mishandle my expenses.

What was your first salary? What you did with it?
It was $ 240. I earned it by doing a summer job when I was studying in Chicago. I handed it to my mom and she still has not used it. She has kept it like a memorable gift.

How much money do you carry every day?
I carry Rs. 4,000 to 5,000 every day. I know it is a lot of money to carry on a daily basis. I hope no one comes to steal it after reading this.

Do you invest in the stock market?

No ways. It is too much of a headache.

Any advice for investors?
Invest in me and I will get you good returns!

Hey friends, i read this article of Karan in Mumbai Mirror.Dont know what to say after reading this!:(



Wedding bells are ringing for Karan Singh Grover, popularly known to his fans as Dr Arman Malik of Dill Mill Gaye. Karan is set to tie the knot with his long time girlfriend Shraddha Nigam. Reveals our sources, “Karan took a five day leave from Dill Mill Gaye and got married in Goa yesterday. The function was on a small scale and not many people are aware about it. Only close friends and relatives attended the wedding.”

It seems that the couple really does want to keep their wedding under wraps. When we asked Shraddha about it, she simply disconnected the call. She later messaged us to say that they were just out on a “family vacation”, and they weren’t getting married.

Now, if the two aren’t married, why would Shraddha refer to them as a family? Maybe Karan can answer that.

It's Armaan V/s Abhimanyu now!!



http://www1.india-forums.com/tellybuzz/images/uploads/6C4_karan_thmb.jpg Scores are to be settled between Dr. Armaan and Dr. Abhimanyu on the basketball field this Thursday.. Get ready for a sensational match....




Sanjivani is in huge crisis, owing to the economic down turn, and all has got really shaky with the entry of Dr. Abhimanyu Modi, played by Amit Tandon in Star One's Dill Mill Gayye!!

http://www1.india-forums.com/tellybuzz/images/uploads/4F7_dil_abhi_basket.gifThe interns who are in shock after Dr. Kirti’s exit face the brunt yet again, as Abhimanyu decides to send the non paying patients out of the hospital. While all the interns hate the very presence of Dr. Abhi in Sanjivani, the shrewd administrator plays yet another trump card, by challenging Armaan for a basketball match. This is a do-or-die match for the interns as if they lose they will have no right to intervene in the decisions taken by Abhimanyu regarding the patients.

But, little do the interns know that Abhi is a tough nut to crack!! Adrenaline rushing with amazing twists and turns laced with elements of thrill and excitement, Armaan and his team gears to get even with Dr. Abhimanyu and give him neck-to-neck competition on the basket ball court.

We talked to the tough administrator cum doctor, Abhimanyu Modi aka Amit Tandon to know more about the game. “I am having a blast shooting for the basketball match. Basically I love to play the game, and I was a national level player too”, quips Amit.

When asked whether Dr. Armaan will get the better of him in the match, he quickly defends himself and states “It is very difficult to beat me. If you want to know the result then you have to wait and watch the match”.

Will Abhimanyu have his way out and defeat Armaan and his team?? Or will Armaan make him change his decision?? Catch the thrill when all the doctors of Sanjivani get together and battle it out against Abhimanyu on the basket ball court.

With the competition spirit running high, who will prove their mettle, Armaan or Abhimanyu!! Catch the sensational match this Thursday..

Karan Singh Grover v/s Amit Tandon



Alongside of attending to patients the doctors of Dill Mill Gayye (http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k8/sep/29sep/news_shweta.php) will now be seen playing a basket ball match. This match is not just a match but a raging war between Dr. Abhimanyu (Amit Tandon) (http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k7/jul/9jul/news_amit.php) and Armaan (Karan Singh Grover) (http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k8/sep/9sep/interview_karan.php).


http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k8/dec/2dec/karan200.jpg

As recession hits Sanjeevani hospital, Dr. Abhimanyu from the hospital’s management has come to throw one of the interns out of the hospital. He now even wants to remove the non- paying patients. This gives another jolt to the interns. Abhimanyu throws a challenge of a basketball match to Armaan and his team making it clear that if they lose, they will not challenge his decision to remove the patients.

The interns will hence have to do all that it takes to win. But little do they know he is a hard nut to crack. Abhimanyu tries all tactics to split the interns and with his tactics he manages to get Muskaan and Atul in his team.

Who spells the victory and who loses this war we will know on Thursday (December 4).

Guys,i got this article from Mumbai Mirror.Its the confirmation of marriage given by the Queen Shradha Nigam!

On Wednesday, December 3, we had reported that Karan Singh Grover and Shraddha Nigam had tied the knot on December 2 in a Gurudwara in Goa. Shraddha had messaged us to say that they were 'out on a family vacation'.

But we found out that our story was true, when we saw their picture on her friends' Facebook profile. Says Shraddha, "We asked our parents to come to Goa for a vacation.

When we told them that we intended to get married the next day, they were very happy.

My friends and relatives had to wear jeans and tees for the ceremony because they were not prepared." Now Shraddha promises to "throw a well-planned bash, unlike the unplanned wedding."

Karan and Shraddha’s secret marriage

One of television's most talked about couples Karan Singh Grover and Shraddha Nigam tied the knot secretly in Goa recently. The duo got married in a very private way so much so that even their family did not know what was happening.




"It all happened in a haste. It was a very private affair... it was almost like even we didn'tknow that we are getting married!" laughs the bride, "We went to Goa on December 1st and Karan called me in the evening asking me that whether I wanted to marry him the next day and I just agreed.".



The gorgeous bride was dressed in a simple pink coloured lehnga and the groom chose to go with a cool Virendra Kumar outfit. The marriage took place as per Sikh rituals with the couple taking four pheres around their holy book.

So were the horoscopes matched earlier, we asked the newly wed bride. "We always visit this gurudwara when ever we go to Goa and there is a pandit there who suggested three appropriate dates for marriage. Horoscopes milaane ka time hi nahi mila," she giggles.

The couple says they flew to Goa undecided and unplanned on 1st but got married the very next day. How ever, the actress says that they did seek their parent's permission before their hasty wedding.

"On the 1st evening both of us called our parents and told them we are thinking of tying the knot the next day. Surprisingly they were very cool about it and also landed in Goa on the 2nd morning," informs Shraddha.

However, Shraddha says that she regrets not being able to invite any one apart from the family. "I know many people will be very upset that they couldn't be a part of it,” says Shraddha. But the couple plan to more than make up for it.

“We have four parties lined up altogether - 2 in Mumbai for family and friends, 1 in my and Karan's native Delhi and 1 in Jaipur where my grandparents stay," she informs.

[shilpakaran]

Not many people know that actress Shilpa Anand has been in a relationship for quite a few years now. Normally known to keep her personal life, Anand lets her guard down and tells us about her special someone.





"His name is Parikshit Sial and is not from the world of entertainment. In fact he is from the shipping industry," says Shilpa.

So how did you meet him?

"I met him in a gym about 8-9 years back. Parikshit approached me first and we became good friends. Soon after he proposed to me and my reaction was 'How is that possible? We have just met!' He was pretty fine with the idea we turned to good friends," recollects Shilpa.
After 3 years of close friendship, the duo realized that they were infact very compatible. Some time later both of them approached their parents and informed them too about it.

To the actress’ surprise they had no issues. "My parents really like Parikshit. In fact my mom is very comfortable with him," she says.

Like every birthday, Shilpa celebrated her birthday this year too with her friends and her beau who took her out for dinner to bring in her birthday. "Parikshit gifted me a Toy Poodle on my 24th birthday which is very precious to me" quotes Anand.

And when are they planning to tie the knot?

"Not now. May be after 2-3 years. Presently we both are concentrating on our careers. There is no pressure from our families too so marriage is not happening now," she signs off.

The interns leave no stone unturned to save Sanjeevani from financial crunch...


‘When the going gets tough the tough gets going’, this popular adage has been adopted by the interns at Sanjeevani hospital in Star One's Dill Mill Gayye. Yet another challenge poses itself in the life of the interns! Leaving no stone unturned to save Sanjeevani from financial crunch, the interns have placed all their hopes on one last resort; ‘The Save Sanjeevani Concert’. Through this concert, the interns intend to raise money so as to pay off the accrued debt of 24 lakhs through ticket sales, as incurred by the charitable patients for their continuing treatment.

Comprising of a series of 4 songs and dance sequences, all the interns are geared up to put their best foot forward to save Sanjeevani at any cost! However, the Concert is not going to be a cakewalk for the interns! A few minutes before the performance, Dr. Rahul gets a message about his father being seriously ill putting him in two minds about performing for the concert. There are also beautiful moments around the concert when Dr. Shubhankar makes an attempt to confess his love to Dr. Keerti. Meanwhile Dr. Abhimanyu and Dr. Riddhima have a tiff while rehearsing for the concert and Dr. Abhimanyu walks away at the last moment refusing to participate!!

Needless to say, the interns manage to put up a fabulous concert in spite of all the action, mishaps, injuries, trying moments happening backstage. With loads of Fun, masti and foot-tapping music, the concert will feature each of the interns in their trade mark style! Atul, whose dancing skills come as a surprise package performs with Anjali, Shubhankar with Keerti and Rahul with Muskaan on the song ‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’ and is widely appreciated by the audiences. An injured Dr. Armaan saves the day for the interns by pitching into the act at the last moment leaving everyone breathless with his performance on ‘Tumse Hi’ with Nikita.

Keeping the entertainment level high, in the final song sequence all the interns in a group jive to the song “Chak de”. The entire concert displays the solidarity between the interns and highlights the larger cause for which the concert has taken place.

Will Dr. Abhimanyu Modi come back to support the interns in their cause? Will the efforts of interns be fruitful to save Sanjivani from the financial crunch?

Guys,i got this article from Mumbai Mirror,Pg31.

Dr Rahul is proving to be a headache for the crew of Dill Mill Gaye and the only cure may be to kick him off the show
Mayank Anand aka Dr Rahul from Dill Mill Gaye may be given the boot for his high-handed ways on the sets. Reportedly, he ordered lunch worth Rs 17,000 and is known for throwing tantrums during the shoots.

As a result, the script may just take unexpected twists where Dr Rahul might get a bulawa by his mum.

Then he may just have to pack his bags and head off to the US in a hurry, thus cutting his character off the show with surgical precision.

The wound is deep, as the production house insists vehemently. Sources say, that Mayank has been asked to leave the show. According to a source from the production house, “Mayank was throwing tantrums on the sets. It was becoming very difficult for everyone to work with him.

Once, many artistes waited for four hours to shoot one scene with Mayank, but he did not show up and the production team was clueless about where he might be. Everyone was so upset that they complained about it to the producers Cinevista.”

The list of complaints doesn’t end here. Apparently, Mayank is blissfully unaware of the recession and decided to splurge on a lunch, while passing on a fat bill to the production house. The source added, “Once he wanted to eat food from outside.

This lunch was worth Rs 17,000, (meant for other people on the sets as well). The producer paid for his expensive lunch. At times, actors can order food from outside, but there is a limit. These are only two incidents, but there are many more like this.”

Mayank admits that he is leaving the show, but denies there are any rifts between the production house and him. He said, “Who told you this? I am leaving, but there is no problem with the other artistes or the production house.

Initially when I joined Dill Mill Gaye, my role was for four months only. The role picked up and was liked by Cinevista, so they increased it. I asked them to give me a break as acting is not the only thing I do. Things did not work out, so I am leaving.”

Siddharth Malhotra, Producer, Cinevista is reasonably diplomatic about the issue. He said that they had a long discussion, but he was unable to meet Mayank’s demands.

He concludes, “We have still not written the script for next week’s episode. We will try and come to a mutually beneficial conclusion but if things do not work out, then I hope that Mayank leaves the show on an amicable note.

[Sadia 15]

Shraddha Nigam and Karan Grover talk to PT about their sudden decision to get married in Goa and life since then.

Roshni Olivera
Times News Network


"It hasn't sunk in yet", blushes the bubbly Shraddha Nigam. Shraddha and boyfriend Karan Grover tied the knot in Goa on Dec 2. It wasn't a wedding planned over many mths 4 this beautiful couple. It was all done in a few days.But, everyone's very happy with the decision including their families.
So, how did it all happen, we ask the new bride. "Karan's family had planned a trip to goa. We were there. I convinced my family to come over too. And that's when we surprised them all. Of course they had a clue that we'd make some announcement. They probably thuoght we'll get engaged. Our parents are very cool and they were overjoyed with our decision to get married."
The wedding happened in a gurudwara in Goa and her outfit too was put together in just a few days. Did she always dream of a sudden wedding? "I always knew my wedding would be a low-key affair with not many functions. In the whole hustle bustle of a wedding you miss the connect and for me that is very important. I just knew I could never be standing on a stage decorated with flowers looking like a flower myself! I really think it's beautiful, but I knew I didn't relate to it." Life hasn't changed much for her. "Nothing's chnaged at all. I wear the same clothes. Yes, my residence has changed now". she says.
Honeymoon will have to wait for a while. Karan's busy with his telly show Dill Mill Gayye and has two films in his kitty. He'll be shooting for the movies soon. "I've told Shradha I don't have the dates forthe honeymoon", laughs Karan. "But we'll definitely plan one sometime soon", he says. A low key wedding was also something Karan always wanted. "I was never interested in the dhoom dhaam and i really wanted something like this", he says. Families were present in Goa for the wedding, but friends were not. And now is the time to make up to them."Oh! Our friends are really bugged! We have to make up to them soon", he says.
So, has the thought that he's married finally sunk in? "Yes it has", he says adding " Shraddha of course is still in a daze!" For him too, life hasn't changes at all, except that he now sees "Shraddha wearing bangles!"

THIS WAS POSTED BY ASMA IN ONE OF THE THREADS WHICH WERE CLOSED BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN POSTED HERE.... BUT AS SHE IS NOT HERE, SO I THOUGHT MORE PPL COULD READ IT AND COMMENT ON IT!!

Karan Singh Grover- This year too Dil Mil Gaye’s Dr. Armaan’s magic was full on all of his fans (even his marriage can’t break the spell) so he is on the top position of our countdown.
2) Kapil Nirmal- This year Kunwar Yudhishthir of Raja Ki Aayegi Barat too impressed the viewers a lot. With his brilliant performance in the show he stole the hearts of thousands of his fans.
3) Harshad Chopra- After Left Right Left, Harshad Chopra first appeared in Sony Channel’s serial Amber Dhara, then he left the show and came in front of us as Prem of Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil. With this show he again got successful in winning the hearts of his long list of fans.
4) Rajat Tokas – After completing his role in Prithviraj Chauhan, this year Rajat Tokas did Dharam Veer. Initially the show did very well but soon lost its grip on the viewers. But still Rajat Tokas impressed his fans.
5) Anas Rashid – This new Prithviraj Chauhan got lot of love and affection from the viewers. Soon he became every one’s favorite.
6) Mohit Sehgal/ Arjun Bijlani – Towards the end of this year, a new youth oriented serial- Miley Jab Hum Tum started on Star One. This serial was appreciated by the youngsters a lot. Mohit Sehgal and Arjun Bijlani, the two main leads of the show impressed number of people. Now there is a long list of their fans and there are full chances that in the coming year their popularity will increase more.
7) Vikrant Massey/ Aamir Ali – With NDTV Imagine’s Dharam Veer along with Rajat Tokas one more actor impressed the youngsters- Vikrant Massey. People really liked him in the serial.
This year Aamir Ali appeared in Channel 9X’s show- Kya Dil Mein Hai. Though the serial didn’t do well but Aamir Ali was appreciated in the serial.
8) Angad Hansija/ Kinshuk Mahajan- This year in Star Plus’s serial Bidaai Angad Hansija and Kinshuk Mahajan made their entry in the show as the two male leads. They were immediately welcomed by the viewers.

People also loved Sharad Malhotra in Banoo Main Teri Dulhann. The reincarnation episode boost the TRP of the show to some extent but towards the end of the show its popularity went on decreasing.
10) Avinash Mukherjee – As little Anandi’s husband in Balika Vadhu, this little star also impressed all of us with his brilliant performance in the show.

3) MTV Roadies 5.0 (MTV) – This year, in the 5th season of Roadies the journey was made International. The 5th season of the show became an instant hit. It was the popularity of the show that its winner- Ashutosh Kaushik got a direct entry in Big Boss 2.
4) 10 Ka Dum (Sony) – Where Sharukh’s Kya Aap Paanchavi Pass Se Tez Hain failed to impress the viewers, Salmaan Khan’s 10 Ka Dum was appreciated by a number of people.

9) Khatron Ke Khiladi (Colors) – With various stunts done by Akshay Kumar and the 13 beautiful ladies this show glued all of us to it.
10) Junoon Kuch Kar Dikhane Ka (NDTV Imagine) – In this show people got the chance to listen to the three genre of music- Folk, Sufi and Bollywood. The idea was appreciated by a lot. Hope in the next season we’ll have its 2nd season.


@ASMA... WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE SOURCE OF UR ARTICLES PLZ?? COULD U PLZ WRITE THEM DOWN? THANKS FOR THE INFO!! :)

[funky gal]

well this ones also posted by aasma

Avika Gor- This year this cute little star reached to every one’s heart with her brilliant performance in Balika Vadhu. She left behind all the other bahus and betis and became every one’s favorite. So she is on our top position.

2) Anjali Abrol- This year Raja Ki Aayegi Barat’s Rani or Anjali Abrol too impressed us all very much. People loved her chemistry with the co star Kapil Nirmal.

3) Sara Khan/ Parul Chauhan- These two betis from Star Plus’s serial Bidaai too got every one’s love and attention.

4) Additi Gupta – Additi Gupta or Heer of Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil too was liked a lot in the serial.

5) Shilpa Anand/ Sukriti Khandpal- This year Dil Mil Gaye got its new Dr. Ridhima. Among Shilpa Anand and Sukriti Khandpal who is better as Dr. Ridhima; it is still a question of debate. Both have their own fan following. So in our count down both share the same place.

6) Rati Pandey/ Sanya Irani- These two stars also impressed us all with their serial Miley Jab Hum Tum. Today they have a long list of their fans and in the coming year their popularity will increase much more for sure.

7) Mughda Chapekar- This year we saw Mughda Chapekar in her new serial Dharam Veer. Alas! By the end of the year the serial was put to an abrupt ending. But this beautiful star charmed all her fans with the show. Hope we’ll see her in some new serial in the coming year.

8) Megha Gupta- In Rajshree’s serial Main Teri Parchaiin Hoon, actress Megha Gupta impressed all of us with her good performance in the show.

9) Smriti Irani- This year Smriti Irani returned in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi proving that no one can portray the character of Tulsi better than her. But even her entry in the show couldn’t prevent it from being pulled off from the air.

10) Rajsree Vaid/ Divyanka Tripathi- There are many fans of Saat Phere who still love to watch the show and admire its protagonist Rajshree Vaid.
First as Vidya and then as Divya, this favourite Dulhann of Zee's serial Banoo Main Teri Dulhann also grabbed the viewers' attention especially after her reincarnation in the serial.

thanx a lot Pari n Aaina
rest articles i'm posting now


Top 10 serials of 2008

1) Bidaai (Star Plus) - In our top 10, Star Plus’s Bidaai is on the No. 1 position. For the whole year this serial has entertained all of us a lot especially after the entry of Rajvansh family which put a new life in the serial as the serial got its two heroes- Aalekh and Ranbeer. Soon we got connected to the love stories of the main leads.
2) Balika Vadhu (Colors) – This serial proved to be a real miracle. It was rejected by many main channels. Finally Colors agreed to telecast it and unexpectedly this serial reached to the top levels. Now all the other channels, who have rejected this serial must be regretting.
3) Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil (Star Plus) – This serial started as a replacement to Ekta’s long lasting love story- Kasauti Zindagi Ki. The serial was welcomed by the viewers as it was far better than Anuraag and Prerna’s love story (Kasauti..)
4) Raja Ki Aayegi Barat (Star Plus) – Initially the serial didn’t get very good response as the storyline was not appearing very strong; more over it was having a direct competition with Zee TV’s Banoo Main Teri Dulhann. But soon people started connecting to the love story of Rani and Kunwar Yudhishthir and this serial left Banoo Main Teri Dulhann far behind in TRP’s.
5) Jai Sree Krishana (Colors) – The bal leela of Lord Krishana in this serial was liked by all. Every one loved the Bal Gopal of this serial.
6) Banoo Main Teri Dulhann (Zee TV) – with the protagonist’s death and their reincarnation, the serial attracted the viewers in the first half of the year but soon it lost its charm. So it’s on the 6th position in our ranking based on the whole year’s performance.
7) Mayka (Zee TV)/ Hamari Devrani (Star Plus) - With one of the male protagonist’s death and the torture of the vamps on the poor heroines, Zee TV’s Mayka got successful in gaining the attention of a couple of viewers.
Another serial Hamari Devrani of Star Plus, which started in the afternoon slot, also impressed the viewers. The torture of all the five Jethanis on the poor heroine and her husband really glued the house wives to the show.
8) Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (Star Plus) - This year Smriti Irani returned in the serial as Tulsi but still Ekta can’t save this show from being pulled off. Finally this serial came to an end in 2008. But even when the show was pulled off it was having a good TRP due to some loyal viewers of the show.
9) Ghar Ki Lakshami Betiyan (Zee TV) – A few number of viewers also continued to watch this story of four betis, sorry five with the addition of the latest one.
10) Radha Ki Betiyan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi (NDTV Imagine) - From the start of the serial, it got good response from the viewers. As a result it was made a daily; earlier it was shown on every Mondays.

Karan Singh Grover in Sony's Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa...
After Nach Baliye and Indian Idol, Sony’s Jhalak Dilkhhla Jaa is the next biggest reality show to hit the television sets!!

And giving us info is our source, “Saroj Khan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Juhi Chawla have been finalized as judges for Season 3. We are happy that Sanjay is back as judge in the show. Saroj Khan is a cut above the rest as Judge, and Juhi Chawla will bring in the needed freshness this season”.

And on the contestants who have been finalized, our source informs “Hard Kaur the first female Indian rapper, who shot to fame with the song ‘Glassy’ , and went on to sing peppy numbers in Johny Gaddar, Ugly Aur Pagli, Singh is Kinng etc will take part in Jhalak”.

KSG won a Kalakar Award 4 the "Best Promising Actor" for Dr. Armaan in dmg..

TV Specials


Journos have real tough time contacting Karan Singh Grover for this doctor from Dil Mill Gaye never picks up call or replies to SMS. A friend close to him says that Karan's female fans drive him crazy by repeatedly calling or messaging. Grover admitted to staying away from his phone. "Whenever I pick up the phone, just seeing the large number of missed calls scares me from checking them out."

He adds for the irritated scribes, "please give me your number, I will save it and pick up when you call me." Unfortunately, many have tried that, too, and still failed contacting him. Grover's rising graph was confirmed by none other than Star One EVP Ravikant Menon who says that Dr Armaan is the real popular character of Dil Mill Gaye. Hence, Shilpa Anand walking out and being replaced by Sukriti Khandpal will not harm the show, he ends cooling the matter down.

Dr Love:
At least that's how Karan Singh Grover is hailed on television. After playing negative roles in Ekta Kapoor shows, this hotel management grad oozes attitude on screen with his tattoo, his rippling biceps and his shirtless act.
