It's time for Mentors to fight now.....

If last week saw the Eastern Zone mentor Shabana Azmi awarding the ‘dramebaaz’ Jodi from Central Zone Twinkle Bajpai and Puneet Israni with 1 point, this week will see the retaliating to it in Central Zone mentor, Zeenat Aman9X’ Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket!!

Well, are you wondering what Zeenat does this week? The answer is so simple, as she returned the same 1 point to the very consistent Jodi from Eastern Zone (Shabana’s team) Naman Shaw and Bindu, even after they delivered a top-notch performance… This resulted in a heated argument between Shabana Azmi and Zeenat Aman. Defending her judgment-call, Zeenat told Naman, “Since I had already given you marks last week before the entire controversy started on the sets and now that the others were penalized, it’s only fair to them that even you bear the consequences of your actions”. This irked Shabanaji totally, and she argued saying, “I have known Zeenat for a very long time and this comes as a complete shock to me that she could ever do something like this. The episode should have ended last week itself rather than extending it on this week”.

Naman Shaw, who remained a silent spectator to this, is a very unhappy man today, as he told Telly Buzz, “It was very upsetting to get just 1 mark in spite of giving the best performance. All the judges appreciated our performance and in fact said that this was by far the best they have seen this season”. Reacting on Zeenat’s decision, the actor added “It was a fresh day, devoid of fights and controversies; but it seemed as though Zeenat Aman was very much impressed with Puneet and felt bad with his ouster, so wanted to play the ‘Tit for Tat’ game by giving me 1 mark”.

However, another contestant on terms of anonymity expressed to us that, “I don’t think it was a revenge taken by Zeenatji, but she did punish Naman for whatever he did last week”.

Well, in the midst of all this, the jodis to find themselves in Danger Zone this week were the two Jodis from Central Cheetahs, Chetan Hansraj-Sanyojita and Krutika Singhal – Mayank. According to our well-placed source, “It was Krutika and Mayank who went out this week”.

Well, with Mayank, Twinkle and Puneet gone, will this show finally be devoid of controversies now - is the question the viewers will have!!

Dev Keswani to enter Grahasti....

Dev Keswani who was unceremoniously replaced by Amit Verma in Star One’s Annu Ki Hogayee Wah Bhai Wah is back to television now!!

The actor will now be seen replacing Akshay Sethi in Star Plus’ afternoon saga on women power, Grahasti. Dev will be seen as Raunak who used to be the love interest of Soni. “I have not seen the manner in which this character was played before by Akshay before. There have been lot many changes in the life of Raunak and with his comeback, a new track will start”, says Dev Keswani.

Elaborating on his entry, the actor says, “Raunak will come back from abroad after completing his studies. He has made name, fame as well as money. He has got more calm, composed and very organized and is glad that he is back as a more successful and responsible person. He now wants to get his love, Soni back”.

With Raunak’s comeback, there is a complicated love quadrangle that develops in Grahasti. “Shaleen Bhanot who plays Manas Ahuja is in love with Soni, but Soni loves me and I love Soni. At the same time, Rano loves Manas, but he treats her as his friend”, states Dev about the complex situation in which the love-birds are in.

Dev wants to move ahead and does not want to touch upon the past. “I was getting many offers, but wanted to get the right role to be back. I am looking forward to playing the very positive, honest and down-to-earth character of Raunak”, says the actor as he signs off.

The Deshmukh family loves Zara Nachke Dikha...

Zara Nachke Dikha’s (Star One) gorgeous judge Malaika Arora Khan was flooded with compliments when she recently attended a wedding and bumped into the renowned Deshmukh family.

Their eldest son shared his feedback with Malaika on how their entire family is hooked on to Star One’s Zara Nachke Dikha. They enjoy the performances of both the teams to the hilt and have actually blocked their Monday and Tuesday evening from 9:30 pm onwards!

They also appreciated the new format of the show and were curious to know who the winners are going to be! Maharashtra’s Honorable Chief Minister Mr. Vilasrao Deshmukh also agreed to the same.

Malaika was extremely surprised and touched by their compliments. She said, “Amongst all the various reality shows on television these days, the Deshmukh family picked our show. It was very exciting for me to get such a positive feedback from them and I am humbled with their appreciation”

A new flavor to Milind-Prachi love story post leap....

Star Plus’ Kayamath is going for a 4-year leap and a new Bengali family is going to be introduced this Thursday, September 10th.

The post leap will show Prachi (Panchi Bora) in the Dasgupta household where she is wedded to Proteek Dasgupta played by Gaurav, a newcomer to television.

Telly Buzz talked to Panchi Bora to know more on the post-leap story. “I am very much missing the Shah family, Sanjeeda, Shabbir and Jay. But I am sure that the new family will be accepted by the viewers”, says Panchi.

When asked about the reasons for her re-marriage in the serial, Panchi says, “Well, I cannot disclose much but I can tell you that Prachi has not suffered from a memory loss and she has a genuine reason for getting married”.

However, a well-placed source from the production house informs us that, “Prachi has got into a ‘samjhauta’ with Proteek and has married him just for her kid”. For the uninitiated, Prachi was pregnant with Milind’s kid when she left him. “Prachi has stayed away from Milind to keep him safe and secure; at the same time, she is a good mother to her little son”, says our source.

We further talked to Sandiip Sikcand, Senior Creative Director, Kayamath to know more on Milind and Prachi’s future. “I can only say that the leap will bring in a new flavor, and a fresh love story between Milind and Prachi. Fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Mallika will not be seen at least for sometime post leap”, says Sandiip.

With the leap, many characters of Kayamath will go missing, and one big name happens to be Jay Bhanushali. Jay had his last shooting schedule for the serial yesterday, and the actor now misses the serial that gave him recognition. “I will miss the entire unit and cast. Kayamath was my first big project and it feels bad to be out of it. But all good things need to come to an end”, says Jay. When asked whether there will be a comeback for Neev, the actor states, “As of now, there is nothing planned”.

As Panchi Bora puts it, Kayamath is all about ‘Changing Relationships’ and the viewers will surely wait with bathed breath for their most popular Jodi MICHI to get together!! But for now, the focus is on the new Bengali family and of course on Prachi who adorns a Bengali look, as Milind aka Shabbir Ahluwalia is given a much needed break to cool his heels!!

Daljeet Kaur and Shaleen sizzle on stage...

Daljeet Kaur and Shaleen Bhanot share a superb on screen as well as off screen chemistry!!

We are here talking about off screen chemistry because they both share their birthday which falls on November 15th… Many of their attributes are similar and this is why they get along so well like a house on fire, so much so that there is a buzz that they are a couple.

The cute Daljeet is not unfamiliar at all with this buzz as she says, “Almost everyone asks me if I am seeing him. But the truth is that I am not!!”. Daljeet clarifies that, “I think we have similar planetary position or something which makes us so alike. It can be really scary because a lot of times I start a sentence and he ends it!”

Well, in Sahara One’s Saas V/s Bahu today, they together create magic as they so very elegantly perform on ‘Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai’ number and what more, as they get applauded by the judges for their performance!!

This is one Jodi that is really ‘Bindaas’!!!

Jasveer and Raja win Ek Se Badhkar Ek...

Tata Indicom Ek Se Badhkar Ek… Jalwe Sitaron Ke will witness the Grand Finale this weekend wherein the the two finalist couples – Raja Hasan and Jassi Kaur along with Kushal Punjabi and Sanchita Bhattacharya set the stage on fire.

The show stealer was the popular Pakistani band Fuzon, who gave thrilling performances on songs like ‘Suna Suna’ and ‘Khamaj’.

The Best Dancer Award went to Abhishek Awasthi while Aishwarya Nigam walked away with the Best Singer award. A surprise performance was by the elusive ace choreographer Ahmad Khan who won the hearts of the audience by his flawless performance on hits like “Aya Pappi, Krazy 4 and his debut, the spirit of Rangeela with Jassi and Kushal.

Shayantani was not far behind when she received thunderous applause for her performance on ‘Jiya Jale”. Aneek’s medley treat was far ahead of his usual performance. Pakistani Comedians Ali Hasan and Irfan Malik had people rolling in the aisles amidst fits of laughter. Abhijeet da’s soul searching performance with the visually challenged band Udaan was something new and touching. The little kids of Zee TV’s new yet-to-be-launched show Chota Packet, Bada Dhamaka (the kids version of Ek se Badhkar ek) did a dhamaka on the stage when they performed on “it’s the time to disco”.

The icing on the cake was the presence of stunner and controversial cricketer, Shoaib Akhtar, who to everyone’s surprise not only sang a Kishore Kumar number, but also put up a masaledar performance on hits like ‘Don’ and ‘mohabbat hai mirchi’. And to tango with him was none other than the Sexy Esha Deol. Looking at both, it was pretty evident that Bollywood calling is not far behind for Shoaib.

But as it goes, every show can have only one winner and it was ultimately Jasveer Kaur and Raja Hassan who beat Kushal Punjabi and Sanchita in the final race to glory.

We tried our best to get in touch with the winning pair, but they were unavailable for comments…
