Comedy Nights Bachao 2: Amruta Khanvilkar OUT, Anita Hassanandani IN!

After Ssharad Malhotra, Amruta Khanvilkar exits Comedy Nights Bachao Taaza

Amruta Khanvilkar and Manan Desai, who joined season two of Comedy Nights Bachao a month ago, are reportedly being replaced by the original duo, Anita Hassanandani and Puja Banerjee. It’s being said that the new faces were finding it difficult to build a rapport with the audience. A report in a leading daily suggests that Anita and Puja have been brought back on popular demand. They had developed a style of their own during the first season which was liked by the audience. The new cast apparently failed to strike a chord with its viewers which affected the TRPs. Amruta confirmed the news and told the daily, “The decision has been taken as the ratings of the show dipped. With a large team, it often gets difficult to hold the interest of the audience. The makers have been honest by telling us that they will be getting the old team back.”

Earlier, Ssharad Malhotra and Sumeet Vyas had been replaced with Mubeen Saudagar and Karan Wahi. Ssharad, who plays the male lead in Kasam Tere Pyar Ki, quit Comedy Nights Bachao Taaza barely a month after its launch as he was not able to juggle two shows at a time.”I just couldn’t manage the shoot of the daily soap and comedy show, simultaneously. There were date issues, too, as I play the hero in ‘Kasam’, which is a male-centric show. It was good to try comedy for the first time and I would love to head back to the genre in the future,” he said in a statement.

While Ssharad and Amruta have already left the show, it still remains to be seen how long will Mona, Aditi and Nia be able to sustain. It is also to be seen how Anita manages time for her super hit show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and the newly revamped Comedy Nights Tazaa. Anita is currently in Australia shooting for Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and we are informed that she may be seen less in the show after the current track in the show. Yeh Hai Mohabbatein will certainly miss Shagun's spicy presence in the show but it can be a blessing in disguise for Anita as she can solely focus on her new signed up show, Comedy Nights Tazaa for some time. 

What do you think about this change ? Will Anita Hassanandani be able to bring back the show’s lost glory?

We heard that Paridhi (Mona Singh) will be seen killing Saudamini (Ashwini Kalsekar) and soon after that Rajbir (Vivek Dahiya) and Paridhi will live a happy married life ever after. “Kawach,” was launched in June, and the show was replaced by Mouni Roy’s supernatural drama Naagin 2. However, the makers of Kawach decided to end the show due to its low TRP ratings but luckily got an extension. According to India Forums, “Kawach” will be replaced by the second season of “Naagin.” We heard that Mouni Roy’s show was supposed to be launched in October but due to the low TRP ratings of “Kawach,” the makers decided to “Naagin 2” a bit early.

Talking about the extension, TV soap czarina Ekta Kapoor had told leading portal TOI, “Kawach’ has been an interesting journey for us. It is our first show, which focuses on exorcism as its core concept. The trend of stories based on popular myths and supernatural themes continues to reign on television, and ‘Kawach’s’ success and extension bear testimony of this fact. Even as ‘Naagin Season 2’ prepares for its high-decibel launch, we are delighted to be able to develop Paridhi and Rajbir’s story further.”

The entire team of Kavach will wrap up shoot by 15 November.

Karan Patel’s real mother-in-law Kiran Bhargava joins Yeh Hai Mohabbatein!

It’s all in the family for Karan Patel. Karan who plays Raman Bhalla, the main lead in popular television show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, will soon have his real life mother-in-law on the show. According to reports, veteran actor Kiran Bhargava has begun shooting for her part in the show and will soon play a pivotal role, resulting in some important twists in the storyline too.

Karan, we all know, is the benchmark of a perfect son, husband and a father in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. His strong character of Raman Bhalla has won many hearts ever since the show began in 2013. While we already know Karan’s real life father-in-law Abhay Bhargava also plays his onscreen father-in-law, now even Kiran is set to enter the show, making it a completely personal affair for Karan. While Abhay plays lead actor Divyanka Tripathi aka Ishita’s father, Kiran will play Sumit Sachdeva aka Mani’s mother. We also hear that she will carry a South Indian look.

When Karan and Abhay shared screen space, Abhay apparently found him a suitable match for his daughter Ankita Bhargava. While Karan’s ugly break-up with Kamya Punjabi was keeping his name on top of the gossip columns, his arranged marriage with Ankita gave a different twist to his real life story. Ankita who is currently a part of television show Vidya on Doordarshan, is said to be present on the sets of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein whenever she gets time. And now with Kiran joining the cast, it surely is turning into a family affair. Quite an interesting tale!

Confirmed: Brahmarakshas' cast is not going to Switzerland!

Zee TV's Brahmarakshas has picked up faster than expected with the audience and proof of the same can be seen with the show topping the TRP charts twice. And we say this because it was a great risk that the makers took with the concept.

But now, according to a news portal, the show was all set to go international and the makers were planning for an elaborate honeymoon sequence for the leads Rishab (Aham Sharma) and Raina (Krystle Dsouza).

Looks like Switzerland is fast becoming one of the most sought after locations for even television serials to be shot in. 

BUT... When we contacted Krystle, she said, "No. There is no truth to this news. We are not going to Switzerland and are very much shooting here itself."

Is actress Pooja Bisht the new woman in Mihir’s life in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein?

 

Star Plus’ much loved show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein is currently going through lots of twists and turns which make the show all more interesting for its viewers.  In the upcoming episodes, Aliya will make it clear to Mihir that she is in love with him but Mihir might brush it off stating the condition as teenage crush. In the meanwhile, it is reported from a reliable source that actress Pooja Bisht is again being considered for the new woman in Mihir’s life. She was earlier considered to play actor Raj Singh Arora’s onscreen love interest in the show but the lead actress of the same show objected saying she would not find Pooja’s presence on the show comfortable. Later the idea of bringing in a new woman in Mihir’s life was scrapped and the creatives of the show had no choice but to experiment with Mihir-Aliya angle on the show.

However according to the recent news, the creatives want to apply their previously scrapped idea of bringing a new woman in Mihir’s life and Pooja Bisht is now their first choice again. Pooja Bisht was the first choice for replacing Mahek Chahal, the lead antagonist of the show Kawach but the role ultimately had gone to actress Sara Khan. Wonder if this time whether actress Pooja Bisht will bag the pivotal role in Yeh Hai Mohabbtein after back to back setbacks! If she gets the role, it will be really interesting to see how Aliya reacts after seeing her love with another woman!

Money is very important for survival: Divyanka Tripathi

 

With her outstanding performance as a Tamillian girl married to a tough Punjabi Guy, the soft spoken Divyanka Tripathi has been enthralling the audience in Star Plus’ Ye Hai Mohabbatein. The pretty lady, who had once aspired to become an army officer, completed a mountaineering course from the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering in Uttarkashi. But later she transformed herself to be named the beauty of Bhopal and now is an actress of repute in Mumbai.

Divyanka talks of some interesting things about her life for a leading online portal.  

How important is money to you?

Though family is more important, what goes into running the family is money. So money is very important for survival.

Are you an impulsive buyer?

Earlier I used to be a very impulsive buyer and used to shop whatever pleased me without thinking twice. But now I am more of a controlled human being.

What are the investments that you have made?

My biggest investment has been my house.

What has been your most expensive purchase?

Property rates are soaring in Mumbai. Hence my most expensive purchase would be my home.

Do you feel financially secured?

Money is something which never satisfies anyone. The more one has the more he or she would want to have it. All I can say at this juncture is that I am planning myself well for a secured future.

Who handles your expenses?

I and my dad handle my expenses.

What was your first salary?

My first salary was Rs. 800 which I earned for hosting a show on Akashvani (AIR) when I was in school.

How much money do you carry every day?

Since I do not splurge anymore, I carry anything between Rs. 500 to 1,000 for emergency. I also carry my debit card.

Your advice to new investors?

I would advise everyone to watch out the market trends and invest in bond that are currently cheap that can get a higher market value in the later stages. Coming to buying a property, it is important to know what the locality is like and whether all provisions are available there or not. Most importantly, every property one buys should be litigation free.

Well, the pretty actress is certainly earning big as it is reported that the Yeh Hai Mohabbatein leads Divyanka Tripathi and Karan Patel get paid Rupees 1 lac and 1.25 lacs per episode respectively.
