Ekta Kapoor puts her heart in Kuch Is Tarah

Ekta Kapoor has another ace up her sleeve, named 'Kuchh Is Tara', a daily that will air on Sony Entertainment Television in the last week of the month. It has been touted as a modern love story of a young girl meeting her Prince Charming, and the anti-love, cynical hate-guru.


Says the television czarina, "I have put my heart into this show. 'Kuchh Is Tara' will be counted as one of the best shows that I have made. It is a turning point in my career and is completely different from all my work till date. With this show I have broken all norms of daily soaps. There is no melodrama, no extended family and not too many twists. The story revolves around a happy family, lots of light moments, love and sweet romance."

Albert Almeida, Executive Vice President and Business Head of the channel, states that Balaji Telefilms and Sony Entertainment Television have had some shows together in the past. "We look forward to creating the same magic all over again with this new show 'Kuchh Is Tara'. It is a modern day love story that will stand out among the daily saas bahu sagas. This show is bound to ignite the magic of love and romance on television once again," he adds.

The show, which will air at 9 pm, Mondays to Thursdays, stars Aakashdeep Saighal, Sudha Chandran, Jayanti Bhatia, Rajendra Gupta, Vishal Singh and Dimple Jhangiani in the lead roles. The soap is produced by Balaji Telefilms, and is directed by Ravindra Gautam

Mona Miillee Vasu talks about her new innings

After playing a total tomboy in Miillee, you're back as a behenjiin Jamegijodi.com.. Hey, not a behenjil (Laughs) Yeah, it's quite a makeover. I play a traditional girl who runs a marriagematrimonial website. Obviously our characters can't stand each other Then of course.. you know what. What about Radhaa ki Betlyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi? It's about a mother and her three daughters. Circumstances force them to move from Meerut to Mumbai. The story shows how they tackle things there. Are you playing a goody goody girl or a rebel? I'm playing the eldest daughter who's level-headed and responsible. So, it's about mummy dearest looking to marry off her three daughters? No, no. It's not about marriage. Radhaa ki Betiyaan.. is about the importance of a career and following your dreams. What's it like working with Supriya Pilgaonkar? So far we've only shot the promos. But I have spent time with her at script readings. Our chemistry as mother and daughter is good. Why the long break after Miillee? When I was through with Miillee, the only thing I wanted to do was take a long vacation. I went to Ladakh for nearly two months. Then to Singapore, where I learnt lawn tennis, and ballet. I did so many things I've always wanted to. And now you're back to the grind.. Not really. I haven't taken up a daily because it involves too much work. I'm happier doing weeklies. What about your love life? Jitu (Salvani) and I aren't together anymore.. but you already know that. I was seeing him for three years. I'm single at the moment. It does get lonely at times.. but I'm glad I have two shows to keep me busy Anyone you'd like to date? Who yaar? There's a dearth of interesting men around. Don't you think so? I'm single at the moment. It does get a little lonely at times.. but I'm glad I have these two shows to keep me busy.

Ronit Roy's fitness funda

Ronit

What diet and exercise couldn't do for Ronit Roy, dance has.

The actor always wanted to be very slim, almost lean. But that just didn't happen. Now ginally he has achieved it. It's all thanks to his dancing routine for the reality shw Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Guess Ram Kapoor should now take a cue from this.
