With the new element of romance pitching in the story line of Sapna Babul Ka ...Bidaai, a sequence in the story required the settings to look like dargah but it turned out to be so real that actors Kinshuk and Parul felt that they were in dargah though it was only a set.

When we spoke to Kinshuk regarding this, he said, "It was really nice and a different experiment. The whole set was built so beautifully helping to convey the existence of the new element of romance in the story. It really felt as though I was in Dargah. Even when we were doing the prayers for the story, I was praying for real. The place was cool and during breaks, we used to feed the fishes in the pond. I am glad that it turned out to be good and the credit goes to the creative team for coming up with this concept and people who took the pain of making the set look so beautiful".

And Parul said, "It is inexplicable! I just can say that I felt I was in dargah. The feel was so real. Even the things that were used were those that were used in real dargah. The reason is because of the love story between Ragni and Ranbir that something different like this was thought of. I was so lost in prayers that I didn't hear the director calling off the shots. I was not only praying for reel but also for real. I prayed for the success of Bidaai, my sister Sara and for myself. We had a great time shooting and for real I slapped Kinshuk for fun and he was pleading me not to. That was fun".

So looks like the promos for the romantic element in Bidaai are going big time. Is the producer ringing in all forms to up the TRP's and stay ahead in the race against Kahani Hamari Mahabharat Ki?

In the present day when people rely so much on the internet for every single thing, we @ tellywatch wanted to find out what our stars think about it. We caught up with a few of them and got their take on the power of DOT COM…

ONE WORD SYNONYMOUS WITH DOTCOM...

Bobbiy Bhonsale - I want to be a little humorous about it but forget it, I better don't say anything.

Rajan Shahi - Information.

Abhishek Awasthi - I have no idea.

Vibha Chibber - Computer.

Kiran Dubey – E-mail.

Sara Khan - Connectivity

DO YOU HAVE A BLOG SPACE?

Bobbiy Bhonsale - It is under construction but until now I have not tried it.

Rajan Shahi - Not really…

Abhishek Awasthi - No.

Vibha Chibber - I am not an internet person and I don't have the time.

Kiran Dubey - I am not a dot com person and I don't have a blog space.

Sara Khan – I am on Orkut but I hardly get the time to blog. But whenever I get the free time, I do blog.

THE POWER OR THE HYPE OF DOT COMS…

Bobbiy Bhonsale - It has become a normal day to day scenario. It is more useful for the next generation. Five years down the line we will almost see everybody with a laptop.

Rajan Shahi - It is the future and there is revolution happening. Everything on the net is easily accessible and communication is also easy. When the email thing happened, it was a big thing but a dumb thing today. I mean people are so used to it that we know that it is a big deal but just very seamless about it. It is something that we cannot do without. Every single thing is at your disposal and if anybody misses anything on TV, even those highlights are available easily. There is a huge market value and people in this filed are of a greater advantage.

Abhishek Awasthi - It is an important part of the present age. There is so much information that everybody can access. You can easily connect and communicate with the whole world that too quickly.

Vibha Chibber - With just one computer, one can get all the information Initially people had to read books and watch TV to get any information Internet is really useful and easily accessible everywhere

She is the leading lady of the number 'one' show on Star Plus 'Bidaai' and it is natural that success does get to the head. Sara khan has been reporting late for her shoots literally everyday and as she is there in almost all scenes her co-stars were forced to wait with make-up on for hours. Senior actors like Alok Nath and Seema Kapoor complained about Sara's unpunctual behavior to Director Rajan Shahi often.

Director Rajan Shahi is very strict about discipline on his sets and he gave Sara a couple of warnings, but despite that she continued to be late for shoots almost every day. So to make his point clear director Shahi has introduced the 'fine' system under which anyone who reports late to the shoot will have to pay a fine which will be deducted from their pay checks. First Sara thought that it was a joke, but when she saw her 'July' pay check she realized that she was fined a couple of times. Now no one likes to be fined so Sara has been reporting dot on time on the sets and she has fulfilled 'Sapna Babul Alok Nath ka- of being on time.
