Dja whew!

Sachin Shroff, the protagonist of Zee's Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka was forced to dwell on some unpleasant memories thanks to a forthcoming track in the serial. The scene, featuring the married couple Dhruv (Sachin Shroff) and Vedika (Gurdip Kohli) handing over their new-born child to Dhruv's brother Antariksh (Pracheen Chauhan) and his wife Kajal (Gun Nayyar).

This shot reminded Shroff of a long-forgotten chapter in his life. "I felt uneasy when I heard this track and so did my co-stars. I mean, how can parents give away their own child to others, even if they all live in the same house? This reminded me of an old friend who lived in my neighbourhood in Nasik," he says. "My friend was given to his uncle and aunt to be raised as they were childless. Such practices are rampant in villages and the child's consent is immaterial. This affected my friend psychologically and he couldn't come to terms with the situation. The shot in Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka brought back these disturbing memories."

Shroff admits that back then he was too young to actually associate with his friend's problems.

"Now, I understand what he must have gone through. I hope I can give my best to this scene," he says.

Khaas dosti: Pracheen-Monaz
By: Shaheen Parkar
June 17, 2006

Pracheen Chauhan and Monaz Mevawalla Pracheen Chauhan (Antariksh of Zee's Sindoor) and Monaz Mevawalla (Mansi of Sony's Risshton Ki Dor and Ameesha of SAB's Chuupke Chuupke) have not have acted together in any show. Onlookers were therefore surprised to see them hanging out together at Sharad and Keerti Kelkar's (Niharika and Rudra of Sinndoor) first wedding anniversary bash recently. Love thy neighbour The fact that the two are extremely close friends was clearly visible to all — as they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. It is learnt that about five years back, Monaz, who used to live in Colaba, shifted to Goregaon. It was here that they struck up a friendship — Pracheen was her neighbour. Even though Pracheen moved to Malad later, the two remained in touch — like all good neighbours. Acting being the common factor between them — there was certainly lots to talk about. When asked about their friendship, Pracheen says, "I first met Monaz at a dandiya event in our complex. I was still new to Mumbai then, so it was all a novelty for me. Even after I shifted to Malad, I have kept in touch with her." She's so special So is there more to this friendship? Monaz would rather not say anything at this juncture. As she puts it, "I want to concentrate on my work right now and am looking forward to new assignments." But Pracheen is honest about the relationship and admits there is more to it. "Yes, she is special; we are seeing each other." Though for both of them, work is more important at this stage of their life. Pracheen, who has featured in shows like Kuttumb, Kucch Jhuki Palkein, Kyun Hota Hai Pyarr and Kasautii Zindagii Kay, is from Delhi. "My father is in the Border Security Force and currently posted in Jallandhar. My mother and elder brother Pradyumna live in Delhi. Pradyumna is into advertising; he is with Rediff. I'm the only one in our family who was stuck with the acting bug and moved to Mumbai." Call me, Ms Shy Monaz gegan as a part of Shiamak Daver's dance troupe, turned to acting with Kittie Party and later featured in Astitva, Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin and Zindagi Terri Merri Kahaani. This Mumbai Parsi girl's father, Firdaus Mevawalla, is also an actor. So how come all this while no one knew about their khaas dosti? "I prefer to be low-profile," says Pracheen. "That's why many people would not even know me!" Now certainly they know Pracheen as well as Monaz!

Real v/s reel life

A still from Sinndoor

The recent controversial case in Hyderabad involving the tussle over the biological and adoptive parents finds an echo in the Zee drama Sinddoor.

At the centre of the battle is the child Parth. Dhruv-Vedika had given up on their baby to save the marriage of Antariksh-Kajal.

By Yasmeen Faruqi

Gurdeep Kohli talks about her trousseau shopping, fiance Arjun Punj and her serials Q After Sanjeevani, you were not seen much. Were you too picky about your roles? Who says so? In fact, I haven't had a break since the past five years since I started with Sanjeevani. Even when I was shooting for Sanjeevani, I had begun Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka. The impression that I am choosy perhaps comes from the fact that I've always done one show at a time. But that's how I like it. Q After playing the unconventional role of a righteous doctor in Sanjeevani, why did you opt for a sort of regressive show like Sinndoor? Well, when I took on Sinndoor, it had a very interesting concept — of an imbalanced girl like Sridevi in the film Sadma. Probably that's why it became an instant hit. Yes, today it's turned into the usual saas-bahu shows, but then again that's what people want. All the shows that come to me invariably centre around these themes. Nothing else is happening. Either I do such roles or do nothing. And I certainly don't want to sit idle. I would rather cash in on it while the going is good. Q How has the Jet Set Go experience been? Like a breath of fresh air. For once, I got to play myself and it has also given me a lot of confidence. And instead of mouthing dialogues, I have to approach the show with a lot of spontaneity, which makes it more interesting. And the best part is that it has received a very good response. Q Why didn't you and your fianc Arjun Punj do Nach Baliye? Well, we were approached for it by Star but at that point I was not free. If I am approached now, I am game for Part 2. Q Busy preparing for your wedding? I sure am. Right now, I'm shopping for jewellery. I love diamonds and I am busy picking up the best. I haven't begun shopping for clothes because styles will become outdated. I'll do that when the actual wedding date is set. That's something I will do just a few days before the marriage. Q So what's special about your would be husband? Oh, Arjun is the guy every girl dreams of. I like everything about him. He's got the most brilliant sense of humour. And he's got an amazing energy. Especially when I am drained from work he's the person I want around to get me all charged up. He's the best partner I could have asked for. Q What kind of roles are you looking for now? At this point, I am dying to do a project with Arjun. Q But you two are doing MTV's Ishq Deewane, aren't you? Yes. The show is about real life lovers trying to impress each other. All I can say at this point is that I am used to being surprised by Arjun but for once, he will be pleasantly surprised at what I have planned for him in the show. Wait and watch.

Sharad Kelkar

'I'm stressed and overworked'

Well, this has made him overweight too! Rudra of Saat Phere is over seven-odd kilos heavier now. And he attributes it to his hectic work schedule

Reena Thapar Kapoor

Sharad Kelkar wishes his day had more than 24 hours. The actor who has been shooting non-stop for the last ten days for Sindoor Tere Naam Ka and Saat Phere feels that the erratic shooting hours have taken a toll on his health.

"My friends have told me that I'm looking fat. And they weren't wrong, because I have put on seven-odd kilos. For the past few days I haven't been having my meals on time. I eat anything at any time. When you're working round-the-clock, you don't keep a check on the time or the type of food. Everything goes awry."

However, Sharad isn't too happy with his professional life. The buzz is that he might be opting out of Kinneri Mehta's Sindoor Tere Naam Ka. "I shoot 15 days for Sindoor… and 15 days for Saat Phere. The dates have never clashed in the past but now both shows require me to shoot on the same day. My dates are in a mess. As a result, I'm stressed and overworked," he says.

"I wish my role in Sindoor... is reduced. Though it's special because I'm paired opposite my wife Keerti Gaikawad. Considering that otherwise we're extremely busy shooting for our respective shows, working in the same show means spending some time together."

But the actor says that Saat Phere is his trump card. "I'm playing the lead in Saat Phere. In Sindoor… I play a parallel lead. So, the former is more important to my career," he says.

The rumours about Rudra's character being bumped off are doing the rounds. What does he have to say? "The producers take a call on the character's lifespan. As an actor, I have no say in the matter. Even I have heard that Rudra will be bumped off. Both the shows are aired on Zee TV and I think it's the channel's prerogative to sort things out. I'm completely okay with their decision," he says.

The actor admits he'd rather work on one show at a time. "I'm a married man and I need to spend some time with my wife too. I can't take the stress of working in two daily soaps. I know other actors have been doing it for years but I cannot. It's taken a toll on my health. Anyway, I have a life beyond work. A married man cannot live a bachelor's life, can he?" he asks.

Rudra to die

Sharad Kelkar

It's certain that Rudra (Sharad Kelkar) will die in the Zee daily Sinndoor. His end will be tragic and loaded with melodrama.

Along with him is mother Kavita Raizada (Kiran Juneja) will also meet her end… to think that she has just recovered from coma.

The reason behind bumping him off is, because the channel wants him to be seen only as Nahar in Saat Phere. Balancing two shows is apparently taking a toll on him.

So one producer gains, the other loses the character. That leaves his Sinndoor wife Niharika (Kirti Kelkar) in mourning… there's also another reason to be upset as Sharad is her hubby off-screen too.... so it won't be a case of saath-saath both at home and at shoots.

Sharad Kelkar performs a dare-devil stunt without a double in his final scene in Sinndoor...

Sapana Patil Poojary


After a successful run as Rudra in Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka, Sharad Kelkar's exit from the serial will be equally dramatic. In the sequence where he falls off the cliff, Kelkar did the dare-devil stunt without a body double.

Overwork, weight gain and no time for his personal life, prompted Kelkar to come up with the idea of ending his role in Sinndoor… Luckily for him, producers Jay and Kinnari Mehtaa obliged.

"I love to do all scenes by myself and I don't like to use body doubles," says Kelkar. "I was genuinely excited at doing this daring stunt by myself." This is not the first time that Kelkar is doing a stunt on his own. In the past he has done several water stunts for CID. "But in comparison to those, this was more dangerous because this was shot under artificial rain and also at night. Besides, there was a deep valley on one side and my grip on the rocks on the other side was getting weak because of the rains. Also, I insisted on doing it since it would be my last scene for the serial."

Kelkar's exit is being left open. "In that sense my dead body will not be showed. So in the future, after I have had enough time to rest and recover, there are chances that I will resume working on the show," he says. In his parting scene, Kelkar will be with his reel and real-life wife Keerti. Mehtaa on her part says, "We had got a body double for Sharad but he insisted on doing it himself. Keerti was against Sharad doing the scene and wouldn't let him do it. The shooting had to be stopped till we could convince Keerti otherwise."

Adds Kelkar, "A thin rope, operated manually, was tied to my body. So it was risky. Keerti was very upset with me and with the rest of the crew for letting me do the stunt and tried to convince me otherwise. But I had it my way and did the four minute long scene." From now on, Kelkar is happy at the prospect of doing only one daily serial, Saat Phere.

Tales from the powder room: Gurdeep Kohli, TV actor


What's in your make-up pouch?
A kohl pencil and lipstick.

One product you can't do without?
My Body Shop watermelon flavoured lip balm…I just can't live without it.

A must-wear for a night out?
People often forget mascara, but I think it's very important as it just lightens up your eyes. I like Diorshow from Christian Dior.

One beauty faux pas most Indian women make?
Not wearing the correct foundation that makes their face look chalky. Also, most women often forget to use foundation on their neck which ends up looking really tacky.

One beauty tip?
Don't wear make-up when not needed, otherwise you will end up looking like a Christmas tree. I firmly believe that less is more.

Shooting in the Rain...

Several shooting schedules of television serials were disrupted due to heavy rains in the city. For instance, Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi didn't have a fresh episode for telecast on Wednesday! Sapana Patil Poojary talks to some producers to find out how they fared...

Kinnari Mehtaa, producer, Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka
When shooting for a television serial, we run on very tight schedules. Be it the rains, accidents or a death in the family, the shooting has to take place. So when it poured on Tuesday, we arranged for special buses for our artists to travel. Our sets are located at the Aarey colony and the artists live mainly in Andheri, while Sachin (Shroff) lives in Chembur. They were very co-operative and despite the heavy rains they agreed to report on the sets.


Sandiip Sikcand, Creative head, Balaji Telefilms
We didn't let the rains affect our schedules. We carried on the shooting for most of our serials except Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki. We didn't shoot for Kahani… on Tuesday because the sets on Sankraman got flooded. Thankfully, one day of not shooting for Kahani... didn't hamper our telecast.


Shrishti Behl Arya, producer, India Calling and Twinkle Beauty Parlour
We didn't shoot on Tuesday because the rains didn't allow any of our actors to step out of their homes. But we made up for that by shooting late in the night. The sets of both serials are under the same roof, and there was no damage. While shooting for a television serial, every hour matters. And luckily there was no problem from the telecast point of view.


Vipul Shah, producer Jet Set Go
Our shooting was not scheduled for the days it rained heavily. We were scheduled to shoot today (July 6) but cancelled it because we didn't want to risk our lives. However it turned out to be a bright day! We will have to work out a common date when all the four hosts of the show will be available for the shoot. We are not yet facing telecast problems. But we will have to seek permission from airport authorities to shoot on another day.

dont know if dis has been posted b4
