If you cannot get enough of television, grab your weekly TV buzz fix right here! Here's the goss from the industry.
It seems the lead pair of Kabhie To Nazar Milao -- Sudeepa Singh and Gagan Arya -- are keen on removing the thin line separating their real and reel life. True to the traditions of the glamour industry, they are claiming to be just good friends who fight a lot but have a number of common likes and dislikes. The grapevine, however, suggests they are being seen together at a number of places as a hot couple. Ask Gagan about this and he vehemently denies it. "How can anything happen so fast? We are just good friends."
Haven't we heard that before?
It seems Sangita Ghosh has a new and 'different' fan. A secret agent on the sets of Virasaat tells us that, some time ago, a scene required a horse. All went well and the shot was completed, but the horse refused to move away. So interested was it in a shoot with the sultry siren that no one could make it move an inch. "The crew was trying it's best to take the horse away, but it refused to budge. As time was running out, we had to go ahead with the shot -- with the horse standing next to me, nibbling at my ears!" says a smiling Sangita, who likes animals from a distance.
As if to prove that beauty and brains can go hand in hand, Mini Mathur, the VJ-turned-Indian Idol compere-turned actress, has won the jackpot in Star's new game show, Heart Beat. In fact, Mini is the first celebrity on the show to hit the jackpot and win Rs 20 lakh. The actress is understandably overwhelmed. That Mini would win was not really a surprise, considering she is known to be a logical and cool-headed person. And Heart Beat is all about managing to keep your cool.
In the weird world of Bollywood, decades are covered in three hours, so it is not at all surprising that in the four years Kumkum has been on air, it has covered almost 25 years, if not more! To celebrate the fourth birthday of the Juhi Parmar-Hussain starrer, the cast and crew had a cake-cutting ceremony on the sets. The function was attended by, among others, Anurradha Prasad, Managing Director of BAG Films Ltd. In keeping with other soaps currently on air, Kumkum recently took a 20-year leap, introducing a host of new characters.Television actors dutifully managed to pay their respect to the Mumbai blast victims. They too observed two minutes of silence from 6:25 pm to 6:27 pm on Tuesday, July 18. Says Ashish Kapoor, better known as Saloni's brother in Saat Phere, "I was on the sets of Saat Phere and the entire team expressed grief by discontinuing the shoot at 6:25 pm." Ditto for Vishal Watwani of Virasat fame, Pawan Shankar and Vaishnavi. Amit Verma from Khichdi, Hotel Kingston and Kittu Sab Janti Hai was at the gym observing the silence, while Monisha Katwani from Yes Boss cancelled her meeting and prayed for the victims at home.
