Zee's Jhansi Ki Rani
continues to keep its audience glued even after the leap and the show is doing extremely well.


The latest is that, Eva Grover is set to enter Jhansi Ki Rani.


When contacted Eva, she confirmed the news saying, "Yes, I am shooting for this most popular show on TV now and it's an amazing cameo. As of now the character I am playing is mother of Manu aka Rani Laxmibai. She was dead while Manu was small. Now the track will show Manu witnessing her mother and Manu's mother will help Manu to get out of trouble. She will tell her who is what in industry."

Divorce Earns ‘Pavitra Rishta’ A TVR Of 7.6

What an irony that it is a break-up that has helped ‘Pavitra Rishta’ (Holy relation) bring joy to its makers? Zee TV and and Balaji Telefilms must be wondering why they didn’t think of Archana-Manav’s divorce before.

Last Monday’s episode where Archana and Manav divorce each other, has clocked a staggering TVR of 7.6 making it the undisputed top show for the TAM week 23 (May 30-June 5). In fact, ‘Pavitra Rishta’ occupies the top five spot now. At number six is Star Plus’ ‘Pratigya’ which registered a TVR of 5.5. The top positions are occupied by four Zee TV shows with ‘Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo’ (5.3) and Colors’ ‘Uttaran’ (5.1) following close behind at the seventh and ninth spot respectively.

Throughout the week, ‘Pavitra Rishta’ maintained an average rating of 6.3 TVR – the only show to have an average TVR of over 5. Tuesday and Wednesday’s TVR stood at 6.1. There was a drop in the following two days with the show finishing with a TVR of 5.7 on Friday

The ‘Pavitra Rishta’ juggernaut, though didn’t change Zee TV’s position on the GRP ladder. The Essel Group owned channel didn’t gain a single GRP more than last week and stood firm at 249. The top positions remained intact, but both Star Plus and Colors lost 19 and 24 GRPs to finish at 317 and 271 respectively.

Colors must have expected more from ‘Balika Vadhu’, where Anandi and Jagdish were nearly separated after Massa had all but married off her grandson to a new bride, last week. However, this Sphere Origin show could only muster a TVR of 4.5. Star Plus has just one show at the top, but the collective result of all its shows ensured that it stayed at number one.

In non-fiction, Zee TV’s DID ‘L’il Masters’ continues to be top with a TVR of 4.5 After a good opening where it crossed 4, Colors ‘Chak Dhoom Dhoom’ (2.7) has dropped behind both ‘L’il Masters’ and ‘Zara Nachke Dikha 2’ (2.9). ‘Indian Idol’s’ TRPs dropped to 2, while ‘Desi Girl’ (1.7) continues to be the top rated show on Imagine TV.

“People Said Don’t Be Too Attached To The Role”-Ulka Gupta

Ulka Gupta, the little protagonist of Zee TV’s ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’ seemed very sad while talking to us as she has to make an exit from the show. This is required as the show will be taking a leap. Even though the girl had been aware about the leap ever since she joined the show, she couldn’t control her emotions on the last day of her shoot and burst out tears.

“I was aware about the leap in the show since day one and knew that I would have to say good bye to it. But as I started shooting, it became my part of life, the sets, my make up room, my horse and everybody else in it. I started thinking that my role would continue till the end of the show. But the news of the show taking a leap proved to be bad news for me.” says Ulka sadly.

Ulka goes on, “All the people around me used to advise me not to get too attached to the role as I have to leave the character at some point of time or the other. It will be tougher to deal with if I do so. That’s exactly what happened! On the last day of my shoot, I had made up my mind not to make it obvious but as soon as the time drew to a close, I cut the cake and started crying. But I realized the truth as soon as I reached home and quietened down.”

Well we wish you all the best for you career ahead and hope to see you back soon again!

Ratan Rajput in Debt

It is generally believed that actors lead a luxurious life. But that’s not true in the case of Ratan Rajput. Rajput better known as Laali of ‘Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo’ on Zee TV has been borrowing money from her cousin to make her ends meet.

Before you jump to any conclusions, let us inform you that Rajput is not broke due to non payment from her production or suffering a loss in a bad investment; she has just lost her ATM card and is unable to pull money from her account.

A source informs us that Rajput lost her ATM card sometime back and has since been asking her cousin for money. This is not the first time that she has lost her ATM card; she had lost it once before too, but was lucky to find it then.

We contacted Rajput and she said, “Yes, I have been like a beggar asking for money from my cousin. Thank God for her!”

She added that she will go to the bank as soon as possible to fulfill all the formalities of getting a new ATM card and get rid of all the debts on her. "But I need a day off from shoot first!", says the busy actress.

We hear you, Ratan. We hope that you get a new ATM card soon, and don’t lose it anymore!

Pavitra Rishta, DID, propel Zee to No. 2 spot

Pavitra Rishta, DID, propel Zee to No. 2 spotThe GEC warfare was mainly restricted to Star Plus and Colors, but the Indian Premier League has restored parity, thereby enabling other key players to up their ante. Cashing in on this is Zee TV, which has pushed Colors aside to reclaim the second spot.

Taking the charge for Zee TV are ‘Pavitra Rishta’ and ‘Dance India Dance 2′, especially the grand finale. The two shows clocked in a TVR of 5.7 and 5 respectively. While the former was the number two rated show, the latter came in tied at fifth with Star Plus’ Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Zee TV’s ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’ and ‘Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo’ occupied the eighth and ninth spot, respectively, for Week 17 (18-24 April).

Leading the pack once again is Star Plus with 298 GRPs followed by Zee TV (284) and Colors (276). Interestingly, Zee trailed Colors by just one GRP in the previous week, but this time it has gained 16 GRPs to Colors’ 7. Star Plus lost 19 GRPs but maintained its numero uno position.

Coming to the IPL, the first semifinal between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore on 21 April fetched a TVR of 7.4 while the second semifinal featuring Chennai Super Kings and Deccan Chargers drew TVR of 5.8 across the country.

The rating of the IPL final will come next week but the Hindi GECs will now breathe easy as the IPL storm is over.

Zee TV's Jhansi Ki Rani to take a leap in mid May..

Zee T and Contiloe Telefilms' Jhansi Ki Rani is all geared up for a leap sometime in mid May. The rating of the show has been on a rise, and the channel and production house feel that this is the right time to go for the much-awaited leap.

They were to take the leap after the initial 30 episodes, to make way for the older Rani Lakshmi Bai to be at the helm of things. However, Ulka Gupta's portrayal of Mannu was received very well by the audience, which resulted in high ratings. So the channel and production house had decided to delay the leap by few months.

A little birdie tells us, "The show is doing extremely well now, and we are very much over the 4+ mark in ratings. However, the leap has to come some day or the other, as this is the demand of the script. Hence, the show will be proceeding towards its leap by mid May".

We also hear that the contract of Ulka Gupta too comes to an end sometime in May, and this eases the entire proceeding.

When contacted, Ulka's mother told us, "Ulka's last day of shoot is May 15th".

This will eventually make way for Krratika Sengar to essay the role of Jhansi Ki Rani.

As per our source, "The channel is planning big publicity for the leap, and it looks as though they are already underway with the preparations for shoot post leap, in Karjat".

We tried calling Krratika Sengar, and even sent her a text message but she remained unavailable.

When contacted, Sukesh Motwani, Fiction Head, Zee TV said, "We will talk about it when it is the right time".

Our efforts to reach to Producer Abhimanyu Singh were futile.

Celebs shocking revelations on Ghar Ghar Mein

Just when we thought reality shows couldn't get any more brutal Zee TV presents Ghar Ghar Mein. This is a show where celeb couples are deeply drilled about issues that threatened the very foundations of their relationship.

In the show, Sharad and Kirti Kelkar are shown openly acknowledging their disillusionment of family members. Says our source, "Sharad and Kirti made no qualms about the fact that their parents strongly objected to their union in marriage. They candidly expressed that Kirti's brother and parents were stronger in their opposition. Funnily, the couple introduced their dog 'Bacardi' as their 'only' family member."

Shaleen Bhanot and Daljit, as a couple had to battle depression. Says our source, "Shaleen and Daljit owned up that after all the adulation and fanfare of Nach Baliye 5, they hit a valley for which none of them was prepared. The most shocking revelation was that Shaleen went into absolute depression and that for a year he was absconding! It was Daljit who had to take responsibility of the relationship at that time. She took it in her hands to transform cold, callous and arrogant person that he had become."

In the case of Kamya Punjabi and Bunty Negi, it was Kamya who got cornered in the show. We all know Kamya and Bunty had nullified their marriage for almost a year and almost signed on the dotted lines of the divorce papers. The show was an emotional roller-coaster ride for the couple. Says our source, "Kamya admitted that during the one year of separation, she got up-close and involved with other men. However, her gutsy confession didn't last long enough to answer the curious anchor's question of whether the man she got involved with was from the industry itself."

The most dramatic encounter was with Manav Gohil. The source says, "When the anchor asked Manav whether he has been caught red-handed with any other woman, he totally lost it and started yelling at the anchors Vipul and Manish. Things got out of control and Manav stomped off the sets." The source adds, "His reaction only goes to favor the rumors that his wife Shweta had in reality, caught him red-handed with another woman."

But the real life scenario is something else where both of them are missing each other. Don’t take it the wrong way but the couple is missing each other as they could not shoot together!

Informs a very excited Ratan. as after a longtime Abhishekh and she were together shooting at Film City, “ Since last week, we (Abhishekh and me) have been shooting separately as he is shooting in the haveli and I am shooting a jail sequence which is all the way in Chandivli and quite far from Film City. So we both usually speak on phone, that if this sequence goes on for long time, we won’t be able to meet each other and work together for the long time.”

“So, even if Shekhar doesn’t want to meet Laali, in contrary, Abhishekh and Ratan want to meet each other and were missing each other. And finally today I am shooting at Film City with him,” signs off Ratan.

Agle Janam…leaps after a break!

A buzz is in the air that Zee TV’s ‘Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo’ will be soon taking a leap of 1 year where Laali (Ratan Rajput) will deliver a child and Ranvijay (Sachal Tyagi) will get behind to kill him as the child is the heir to the Thakurs. But viewers take a sign of relief as the talks are still going by the channel, regarding the leap.

A source informs, “Talks are going on regarding to take a leap in the show but it will take some time as now the show will be more concentrating on the trauma of Ratna’s death and how Kaushalya (Rupa Ganguly) will reveal the truth to whole family about the death. On other hand, minister plans to kill Laali and due to thid reason she will be rescued. Even though Laali will get rescued from the jail she will take long time to return back to the haveli.”

“Leap is one of the ideas which can turn the story but it will take some time as the channel is targeting for more TRP’s with the ensuing drama. The show had already taken a hike in its ratings as the show has jumped directly from 3.4 to 5 this week, more ratings are expected.” adds the source.

Even though after the break, get ready to experience a vast change in Laali!

It's revealed: Radhika is Ayesha in Jaane Pehchaane Se..

We had reported earlier that Ayesha the protagonist of Star One and Cinevistaas' Jaane Pehchaane Se Ye Ajnabbi would be shown falling off a cliff, and this would probably be the end of Aditi Tailang in the show!! We again followed it up with a report that Sanjeeda Sheikh will be entering the show, albeit as a new character.

And now we have the latest news, that in the coming episodes, viewers will get to know that the new character Radhika (Sanjeeda Sheikh) is in fact Ayesha who has come back with a vengeance!! With this, the hopes of loyal viewers who wanted Aditi Tailang to get back to the show as Ayesha, gets shattered!!

According to our source, "The recently aired episodes have already seen certain feelers that indicate to Radhika being Ayesha. But this truth will be opened up to the audience in the coming week".

"Radhika who is actually Ayesha would be shown to have gotten help from the man who poses to be her father now, played by Raju Kher. She comes back to the Ramada Hotel with a plan in mind. She knows that she has to first get into the good books of Kamini (Varsha Usgaonkar), in order to take revenge against Veer (Siddharth Shukla). She has a soft corner for Nihaal (Rahul Pendkalkar) while she holds grudge against Veer for not only her death, but also her sister's death, and feels that he might have done it for the sake of property", informs our source.

Once the truth of Radhika's real identity is out to the viewers, there will be more 'Tashan' seen between her and Veer.

We called Sanjeeda to know about this, but she had this to say, "That is suspense, you need to wait and watch".

We tried calling Amita Devadiga, Creative Head, but she remained unavailable.

Till now, they head the list of probables, and the channel and production house are in fact confident that the two girls can do a great job as hosts. At the same time, hunt for new faces are still on and auditions for the same are going on at different places. In fact, Ulka Gupta who essays the role of Mannu in Zee TV's Jhansi Ki Rani is also one of the favourites to bag the prized opportunity".

We tried calling Havov, Ziyah and Zynah's mother but she remained unavailable. We also tried getting Ulka Gupta's mother for a confirmation, but she too did not revert.

'I wish to write a script' - Hiten Tejwani

Hiten Tejwani who has managed to acquire a soft corner in the hearts of the viewers through his charming acting and bold personality discusses all of it and more with us….

Hiten firstly tell us about your comeback experience on television with Chhoti Bahu?
Firstly comeback for me would be when I return to the industry after 2-3years (smiles). In my case, I have resumed shoot after 2-3 months, so I won't regard it as comeback in real sense. But it feels great to start working again and I'm happy people have given me a very warm welcome.

In most of the serials you have been part of, you have always been given a mysterious entry, be it Kyunki, Kutumb, Palampur Express and now again Chhoti Bahu. What's your take on it?
(Laughs) I think this question should be asked to the creative teams of my serials. But as of now I would say that, may be they like to keep me as a mystery guy in their concepts. They like it that way (smiles).

You are been approached for many roles now. So are planning to take them up?
Well I haven't made up my mind on that yet. But I'll surely give more consideration to roles which would appeal to me. If roles offered are really nice then I may take it up.

Now that you are a proud father of twins, how does it feel to play romantic interest to girls in television shows?
Well it feels good. And at any point of time, I am a human who always feels young at heart if not in age. So as of now I could say that I'm being offered characters that suit my age.

Once actors start getting recognition they become very selective while taking up roles? What's your take on it?
I feel after working in the industry for quite sometime, one needs to get selective about the kind of roles he/she enacts. But my basic idea is that I try not to repeat same kind of roles.

Are you still associated with theater as in your earlier days?
Theater as of now has taken a back seat. Working for theater requires more time dedication and it involves lot of rehearsal sessions. So managing theaters at this time is a bit difficult.

What difference do you find when it comes to acting in theaters and in television?
The major plus point of working on television is that you are allowed cuts and re-takes whereas this is not possible in theater; it's just one shot over there. And the most striking feature is that in theaters, response from audience is also instant and quite motivating.

How do you think the industry has treated you so far?
In that case I would say I was very lucky, the industry treated me very well. They welcomed me with open arms.

So does this mean that you have had no struggle in the industry?
Every person who gets into the industry has to struggle in some way or the other. And when things come your way very easily you don't feel the real worth of your achievement. And achieving one's desire with hard work and struggle is a different fun all together.

In an interview you said you are great fan of Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan, so one quality of both you admire a lot?
Firstly I'm nobody to point out any good or bad qualities about the two great artists. But as I idolize them, I truly admire SRK's energy and passion towards his work, and Bachchan Sir's punctuality at all times.

We also have information that you are fond of writing and one day you wish to write a novel and get it published. Is it true? If yes what would be the theme of it?
Yes it is very true, I love expressing my emotions through words. I have started it by writing blogs. But apart from writing a book I also have a wish of writing a script. But that requires solitude and 100% concentration, so at this point it's just a thought.

And talking about the theme I would like to write about things happening in and around a person which are fact based. Basically events that are stored in one's memory and when they read it they get a feel of 'hey I knew this'. In other words, something that people can relate to.

You also have a pet named 'Bekham', tell us something about it?
Yes, he's very naughty. He's our first baby we had got him when he was just 21 days. He has his personal tooth brush, a couple of t-shirts, in short a wardrobe of his own. He's a complete family member.

And now when we have our two angels in the house he's trying to figure out what these creatures are like. It's fun with him.

Tell us something about your sweet memories with your twins Katya and Neevan?
How do you manage spending time with them?

Well now work is not that easy after having spent four full months with them. So I miss them a lot when I'm at work. But whenever I come home and get a glimpse of their smiling faces, all the tiredness, fatigue just vanishes in no time. I love them a lot.

The dedicated fans of you and Gauri are eagerly waiting to see your on screen chemistry, so are there any chances of that happening?
As of now Gauri has taken a complete break. She wants to dedicate all her time to the two kids. But may be in future if she's offered any interesting roles or if she finds it quite tempting she might take up.

Message for your fans.
Thanks for all your love and support. I know that you people are not willing to see me performing a negative role. But please do understand that it's just a character and it's not the real me. And I'll always be the same for you.
