If you spot Tina Kuwajerwala looking smug these days, do not be surprised. After all, how many women get to make their husbands go for an image overhaul? Apparently, Hussain’s better half was bored sick of his image as Sumit Wadhwa. That’s the name of the character he plays in the television soap, Kumkum. The show has been on since the past eight years and Hussain has had the same look all this while.
Recently, when the serial took a big leap, Tina got a golden chance to convince Hussain to get an image makeover. The fact that for the past eight years, Hussain has been using a select set of colours and look was a major turn off for Tina. After a lot of emotional blackmailing and protests, she got her way and now Hussain is a changed man. Well, at least his wardrobe has changed and so has the colour of his eye lens. Wait a minute, if it’s a big leap that Hussain has had in Kumkum, won’t he be too old to own a funky wardrobe and coloured lenses?Thursday, June 26, 2008
'Lakshya: Most popular after Baa and Tulsi'
After an unsuccessful stint in the movies with Rok Sako To Rok Lo and Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai, Yash Pandit will be seen in Star Plus' popular television soap, Kyun Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The actor has replaced Pulkit Samrat, and is now playing his character, Lakshya.
Yash Pandit
A few months ago when Pulkit walked out of Balaji Telefilms, Yash was anything but the obvious choice since he was neither a television star nor a successful movie star. So how did he bag the role? "Balaji was looking out for the new Lakshya and they got in touch with me. When I met Nivedita Basu, creative head of Balaji, she discussed several roles with me, including Lakshya. I took an instant decision and asked for Lakshya's role. This character is the most positive character in the Virani family and most popular one after Baa and Tulsi," Yash says.
"I was not aware of how popular the character was. I was only aware of Pulkit stepping down because of some personal reasons," he continues. "I have not watched every episode of the serial before I joined, but I watched a few. Many of my aunts watch this serial and I managed to catch a few episodes."
But isn't he moving away from the big screen? "Not really," he says. "So many actors have done that. Ever since Amitabh Bachchan stepped into television, the importance of this medium has changed. Even now, stars like Akshay Kumar , Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are working on the small screen. It means a lot in terms of money and popularity.
"Nothing went wrong with my career," he clarifies. "I am an actor and for an actor, it's not good to be jobless. But yes, the big screen has its own charisma. I have a film lined up with Rituparno Ghosh, which will start early next year.
"As of now, I am concentrating on Lakshya. Three or four months down the line, I may take a part in a reality show," he informs. "Working for India's top production house in the most popular serial is a big achievement for me. And people here are unbelievably helpful, including Smritiji [Irani]," concludes Yash.

Fastest Player Ever in Paanchvi Pass....
his Sunday’s episode of Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? promises to be a sure entertainer!!! The participants here haven’t gone through the usual grind of stringent auditions and screening sessions. They have come in through a direct entry mechanism via the ‘Airtel Skip The Gun Contest’ which allowed few lucky Airtel users to participate in the show directly.
The first Airtel special contestant for the day was Naresh Rai Saxena, a senior secondary school’s director, from Kota. He slowly climbs the money ladder with the help from the kids for the simplest of Fifth Grader Questions. His ignorance on whether Dolphins sleep with an eye open, made him fall prey to Shah Rukh’s tongue-firmly-in-cheek (and one eye firmly closed) comments providing for some interesting banter between the two. Shah Rukh even offered to go swimming with him to see if dolphins really sleep with an eye closed. Will he be able to win enough to realize his dreams of opening a girl’s college?
The next contestant for the day was Vibhor Badoni, a civil services student, from Dehradun. Vibhor was aware that this special episode will not have any rollover contestant so he ensured that he didn’t waste any time and focused on the questions, tried to get each answer right quickly and win as much as possible. His remarkable speed and comprehensive analytical reasoning even took Shah Rukh by surprise. So impressed was Shah Rukh that he tells Vibhor; “I’ve never had as mush fun with any contestant so far as I’ve had in quizzing you.” He outdid all previous contestants in speed and accuracy and proved to be the fastest playing contestant till date on the show. Will he be able to outwit the Fifth Graders and take away Rupees five crores to fulfill his dreams?
To know this and see more fun-filled moments, watch Airtel Special episode of Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? Sunday, June 15 only on Star Plus!!

Watch the adventures of Pawan Putra Hanuman on Ramayan!
While Lord Ram and Lakshman look for Sita who has been abducted by the demon king Ravan, their search brings them to the vicinity of the mountain Rishyamukha, where the monkey king Sugriva lives with his followers. Having seen them in his territory, Sugriva sends Hanuman to ascertain their identities. Hanuman approaches the two brothers in the disguise of a Brahmin but soon realizes that Ram is none other than his revered master. Thereafter, Hanuman's life becomes interwoven inextricably with that of Ram. Hanuman then brings about a friendship and alliance between Ram and Sugriva. When Sugriva realizes that Ram is Lord Vishnu in a mortal avatar, he and his followers become his devotees. While Ram helps Sugriva regain his honor and makes him king of Kishkindha, Sugriva and his vanaras, most notably Hanuman, help Ram defeat Ravan and reunite with Sita.
The strong bond between Shri Ram and Hanuman is one of the emotional strengths of Ramayan. Hanuman becomes the hero of the chapters that narrate the battle between Lord Ram and Ravan. He is the eternal symbol for mankind of unconditional devotion, faith and love of the devotee for the Lord. The episodes which ensure after the meeting of Ram and Hanuman are strong in emotional content and are filled with ceaseless special effects as the Monkey lord performs one amazing feat after another! The character of Hanuman will be played by Vikram Sharma.
Don’t miss the beginning of this vital stage of the Ramayan starting Tuesday, June 24th, 2008 at 9:30 p.m. only on NDTV IMAGINE.
Yuvraj Singh & Harbhajan Singh on 10 Ka Dum.
The men in blue make it a red-letter day! It is the first celebrity episode of 10 Ka Dum. It was not Salman Khan's friends from the film industry as guests; instead he had none other than the men in blue (or should that be red and off-white and different shades of blue?) cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh to play the game with him. Yuvi, (as Yuvraj is called), with his sixes and Bhajji's (as Harbhajan is called) hat trick brought the house down with their banter and quick wit. This of course gives an inkling of what goes on in the Indian dressing room. The fun-filled episode is replete with anecdotes from the two cricketers.
When Salman asked the duo how they play untiringly during cricket matches while he gets exhausted just running during shoots… Bhajji quickly retorted, "It depends on who you are running after… Was it Vivek Oberoi?"
Later when Salman asked the two who their favorite actress was, Yuvi wickedly said "Katrina Kaif" to which a blushing Salman said: "Mine too." But Bhajji 'tried' to be politically correct & said "Lara Dutta - but I like Katrina too!"
There's a lot of leg pulling and camaraderie on this episode, that's when the three are not breaking into a bhangra mode at each win! Yuvi with Bhajji's support reached the Rs 1 crore mark – a first on 10 Ka Dum. It was celebrated in style! The two were there to support charity. Of the Rs 1 crore they won, the two buddies decided to give 50 Lakh to Salman's Charity Foundation and Rs. 25 lakh to the charity run by Yuvi's mom and Rs 25 lakh to the little boy who was in the news recently and whose plight touched Bhajji's heart enough to spur him to visit the little boy in hospital in Agra.
Catch all the action from the sets, off the cricket field and on it too! A great episode made even more special by Salman, Yuvi and Bhajji.
Salman Khan's magic works wonders for Sony.
Salman Khan has proved that he is the undisputed darling of the masses and without any doubt has loads of Dum. The show has received rave reviews and an overwhelming response from audiences. The launch of 10 Ka Dum has catapulted SET to a No. 1 position across all channels in the critical Friday and Saturday 9-10 pm slot with a 13.5% share. Star Plus stood at the second position with a 11.1% share and Zee TV a distant No. 3 with 7.4% share.
10 Ka Dum was sampled by over 16 million viewers in the first two days of launch as compared to 9 million each for Junoon-Kuch Kar Dikhaane Ka on NDTV-Imagine and The Great Indian Laughter Challenge on Star One. In the process 10 Ka Dum became the highest rated weekend show on Indian television, even after IPL Paanchvi Paas managed to garner only an average TVR of 2.63.
Snapshot of competitive shows across channels:
10 Ka Dum – 3.0 TVR
Paanchvi Paas – 2.6TVR
Laughter Challenge – 1.3 TVR
Junoon Kuch Kar Dikhane Ka – 0.7 TVR
The show opened with a 3.4 TVR and 11.9% Reach, while the Saturday episode got 2.7 TVR with a 10.6% Reach. The launch episode got a peak TVR of 5.4 TVR whereas the Saturday episode peaked at 4.3 TVR. In some key markets like Mumbai, Kolkata, Maharashtra and Orissa the launch day performance of 10 Ka Dum was significantly higher than that of Paanchvi Pass on its launch date.
10 Ka Dum's performance has helped SET to funnel viewers into other slots too. CID 2.9 TVR (an increase of 71 % over previous week), Comedy Circus 2 TVR (an increase of 50 % over previous week). 10 Ka Dum has helped the overall viewership of the channel grow. This just shows that
Salman Khan's debut on television is a super-hit, just like his films!

Kalyug Mein Bhakti Ki Shakti
The Hindu shastras call this the age of Kalyug; an era where evil prevails over good and humanity seems to have lost all moral values & spirituality. Starting Monday, 9th June, ‘MATA KI CHOWKI’, from the SaharaOne stable will embark on a journey of the restitution of goodwill. The story revolves around Vaishnavi, an orphan girl who is found by the Pandit couple of Vaishno Devi shrine who are childless even after nine years of marriage.
Disaster after disaster seems to strike her life – being blamed for her mother’s early demise; taking on her younger sister’s responsibility by marrying a man who doesn’t love her in order to save her father’s pride & honor; horrified by the dark deeds and ills prevailing in big cities; and finally, threatened with becoming a martyr to fulfill someone’s greed. Her faith in Mata sees her sail through every possible hurdle that life throws at her while at the same time her good deeds towards enlightening the masses raises her divine personality amongst them. The journey of Vaishnavi in the enlightened path of Mata will go on forever and ever, even though she has to take another birth.
Says Nilanjana Purkayestha, Business Head, SaharaOne Television,“In today’s times of inhumanity,we often wonder where has god gone. The story of Mata Ki Chowki shows us how god is there in each one of us. If we have faith then god and god’s love will become apparent to us. Mata Ki Chowki is as much about Mata who lives in our hearts and always shows us the righteous path, as about Vaishnavi who adores Mata and follows her path righteously, even in these days of Kalyug. It is our endeavour, in our own small way, to rekindle faith in god and re-learn what we have always known – that no harm will come to those who follow the path of god, the path of right. A show like Mata Ki Chowki, that brings us the teachings of our scriptures tailored to our current social scenario, is very important and relevant in today’s times.”
Produced by Swastik Pictures, MATA KI CHOWKI has an spectacular star cast like actors Mona Ambegaonkar, Sudesh Berry, Usha Bacchani, Sheela Sharma and Bina. The lead character of VAISHNAVI will be essayed by the very innocent and beautiful Muskan Arora while the divine role of Mata Vaishno Devi is essayed by the southern superstar Shanti Priya.
Will the battle between good and evil make or change Vaishnavi’s destiny… and at what cost?
Watch “MATA KI CHOWKI”
Starting Monday, 9TH June, Every Monday – Friday, 10.30 p.m, only on SaharaOne Television.

An embarrassed Nandini gifted this as a special memento to her favourite star!
The next contestant Baubin Kumar is a state level kabbadi player from Muzzafar Nagar. Watching Baubin interact with Salman, one could say that he was one of the rare contestantsd who was not startled by Mr. Khan's persona and stardom but behaved like him. Baubin boldly
greeted Salman saying "Khan saab, aap apni field mein star hain hum apni, toh aaj ek sitara dusre sitare se mil raha hai".
There was fun, intelligent repartee, topped with Baubin's innocent behari accent. But what was it that connected both Salman & Baubin? It was their passion for fitness and sports. Baubin discussed his fitness schedule and 'kabbadi' matches in the breaks with the host - Salman, keeping him entertained.
