Laali – the Snake Charmer (Agle janam mohe bitiya hi kijo on Zee Tv)

The monsoons, though most welcome, can cause havoc at times. The film city area in Mumbai which is the shooting hub of the entertainment industry, also shelters some of the deadly creatures of this planet. The cast and crew of Agle janam mohe bitiya hi kijo are literally having a reptile scare quite often! Every other day they are being hounded by deadly lizards, scorpions, worms of various kinds! The unit lost their cool when one day they found a snake loitering around the sets. It hit the panic button because people didn’t know what to do! Everything was in helter skelter until savior came in the form our brave Laali who came out rushing from her make up room when this fiasco was on …
And she managed to charm the snake like a pro! During the earlier days of Agle janam …when the unit was stationed at Wai; amongst other ghastly things like plunging in mucky water, rolling in mud, walking bare feet in scorching heat , catching a rat; this was another art which Lali had learnt from one of the villager. Though it never came handy then, but now out of the blue this sudden advent of snake god had lali shed all her inhibitions and tame the snake…

Quite a braveheart! True daughter of the soil….

When contacted Ratan, she said, “It may sound funny and unrealistic but it’s true that I have shot with real snakes in the 2nd episode itself. Yes they were trained ones but it was quite adventurous shooting then in Wai. Yes very often you would experience some or the other reptile on the sets during monsoons but that’s natural. The other day when the unit saw snake, they freaked and panicked big time. Though I was also a little scared but managed to throw it out of the sets.”

Ratan Rajpoot Faints While Dancing to Kanha’s Tunes
Due to her constant health issues, Ratan has been taking extra care of herself during the shooting hours. Even the production house has been taking needful measures to take care of Ratan’s diet and they have also made a doctor available on the set so that Ratan could be immediately attended to in case of emergencies. However due to frequent shuttling between her show’s shooting and rehearsing for Janmashtami special even of Choti Bhau, Ratan’s health deteriorated recently. Rata in an excellent dancer and she did beautifully during her rehearsals. On the final day of the shoot however, in middle of her performance, Ratan fainted and fell on the ground. Despite repeated efforts, she couldn’t be brought back to consciousness, setting panic amongst the unit members. She was taken to the doctors and the shooting was stalled. The production house had to shoot other acts till Ratan resumed shoot the next day.

Gaay-Leela
To bring in the authentic Vridunvan look to the premises, a cow and a calf were brought on the sets of Choti Bahu for its Janmashatmi special. While it gave the desired feel and look for the shoot, the producers were left with lot of trouble during the shooting and the cow kept hitting the dancers, everytime they moved around the area were the calf was tied. This made their dance moves very difficult. To add in to the distress both the cow and calf kept mooing continuously. They also dirtied the place. The act that could have been shot in 20 minutes took almost two hours to shoot.

Manav’s Acrophobia
‘The best way to overcome your fear is to face it’ they say… Sushant Singh, Manav of Zee TV’s Pavitra Rishta came face to face with his fear while shooting of the Choti Bahu Janmashtami special. Sushant is scared of heights and the Dahi-Haandi act he performed on needed him to celebrate the festival in the Mharstrain 3way where they form a human pyramid and the guy on the top breaks a matki tied on a height above. Suhsnat who is an excellent dancer, freaked when he got to know that he has to climb on such height and initially requested the production house to lower the matki’s height. While the production house tried accommodating his request the overall look of the frame didn’t come up to their expectations. Hence they suggested using a body double. Sushant then decided to do the stunt and though the act was further difficult as it had to be performed in artificial rains, Sushant still managed to complete the act gracefully. Kudos to you Guy!

Little Shalini mukherjee of kolkata is a gem; she has not only surprised Alka Yagnik but also Usha Uthup and Suresh Wadikar in the mumbai auctions ...Shalini completely surprised the judges when she sang ,” jhoom jhoom jhoom baba” – a number from the movie Kasam paida karne wale ki , immortalized by the legendary Usha Uthup herself.
Usha Uthup was so very captivated by her song that she walked up to the 8 year old kid and said, “ I was a matured singer when I sang this number… but you being of such tender age sang this song even better than me…. I am totally awestruck!!! Do I have the privilege of standing next to you and sing the song once again???”

Shalini is a 4th standard girl from kolkata


Little shalini and her mother's happiness on hearing this cud not be compared to anything..

Kitni Mohabbat Hain on NDTV Imagine

Balaji Telefilms (Ekta Kapoor) have been known in the past to focus on massively emotional family dramas, typically involving saas-bahus with each character having some personality streak (either a villain, or sweeter than anybody in the world). Now that those serials were starting to lose their charm (and their TRP's), it is no wonder that Balaji has changed and is starting to make different type of serials.
'Kitni Mohabbat Hain' does not have an entirely new story, but it has a fresh look, and the characters playing the main role of Arjun Punj (Karan Kundra) and Arohi Sharma (Kritika Kamra) seem to be able to emote okay so far.



The story is not very different. Arjun, the son of a rich man, DK, is very arrogant, and not trusting towards woman at all (since he believes that his mother left him when he was a young child). It is then that Arohi enters his life (she is forced to start working when her father is forced to quit his job) in the role of Arjun's personal assistant at work. It is quite clear to her that Arjun is arrogant, but she falls for him; however, this is only temporary. Soon Arjun makes it clear to Arohi that he is getting engaged to somebody else, and then humiliates Arohi at the engagement party.
Arohi is shell-shocked, and decides to try and become somebody, bigger than Arjun, and decides to move to Bombay to further her ambition. In the meantime, Arjun's mother reveals the truth to Arjun, causing Arjun's world to crumble. He realizes that whatever he believed in was a lie, and also realizes that he truly loves Arohi, and decides to support her in whatever she wants to become.
Arjun follows Arohi to Mumbai, and supports her in many ways (including some idiotic scenes in which Arjun takes off his gold chain in the rain so that people waiting for the bus in rain leave the shelter after the chain, giving space to Arohi and her sisters). At the same time, whatever he does is done in such a way that it seems to Arohi that Arjun is still mocking her, giving her the courage (out of hate) to keep on going on for what she wants. She wants to become a singer, and has just won a contest for a recording.

Jay Bhanushali loves being the butt of Mithun da’s jokes - story from Dance India Dance

Just when everybody was thinking that Mithun da has crossed all the limits and it’s about time Jay Bhanushali will storm out of Dance India Dance anytime… we come to know it’s just the other way round. Jay is actually basking in the attention that he is getting and not to mention the kisses being planted on him by Remo, Terence and Geeta again and again!

Any layman would vouch for the fact that as an anchor , Saumya Tandon always managed to steal the thunder away from Jay . The interesting lines and meaty punches always went to Saumya and Jay was kept to play the second fiddle.

Then one day Mithun da started pulling his leg just to ease off the tension on the sets. Then it happened again…. and again… till one thought that Jay will explode!

Some even said that Jay was planning to take this up with the authorities as he could not bear such insults on National Television.

But the latest grapevine from the sets claim that somebody with more grey matter than Jay advised him against it. In fact, made him realize the fact that actually people are enjoying his onscreen ‘gay- giri’ . The focus has once again shifted on him and he’s being talked about! Obviously its not everyday that one gets to dance and romance Mithun da.

Finally some light at the end of the tunnel …for Jay. This is called seeing the bottle half full rather than half empty!

Some stories from Dance India Dance on Zee TV

Dance India Dance mentor Remo D’ souza was on cloud nine on his recent visit to Ahmedabad. The ace choreographer who has always maintained a very low profile was taken aback by the kind of overwhelming response he received in Ahmedabad. Remo has very close connections with Gujarat. He was born and brought up in Jamnagar and hence is deeply influenced by Gujarati Culture and tradition.

Recently on his visit to Ahmedabad he was flabbergasted to see such a huge fan following. Along with Remo his two contestants Khushboo( from Gandhinagar) and Prince ( from Baroda) had also accompanied him to solicit viewers support.

A very touchy incident happened, on his way to the hotel from the airport, suddenly few policemen blocked his way without any reason. Just when Remo thought there was some reason to panic, a surprise sprung up! The policemen took him aside and greeted him with the ‘singh is kingh’ signature step! Not only that, also asked for his autograph.

Both Prince and Khushboo were totally speechless. They didn’t know how to write autographs and the crowd there was going berserk for their autographs!

Something similar had happened in Mumbai as well. On his way to Karjat for a movie shoot, people at the toll – naka stopped him, collected the toll and started yelling ‘Singh is King’.. Though Remo found it little embarrassing but did oblige them by shaking hands!

Thus Remo tasted the first kiss of fame!
