Mitali Nag breaking news
She is all set to feature in Life OK's Savdhan India
Mitali Nag |
Mitali Nag wowed everyone with her spirited performance in Zee TV’s Afsar Bitiya (Village Boy Productions).
The show went off air and since then her fans have been missing her dearly. But our source brings some good news for all of them.
Yes, she is all set to be a part of an episodic in Life OK’s Savdhan India (sequence produced by Endemol). Once again she plays a girl from a downtrodden family who fights against all odds in her endeavour to become an IAS officer. Her character is that of a girl who is married off as a minor into an abusive family. Her husband beats her and her mother-in-law also joins in to torture her.
Amidst such a nightmarish marriage she studies in night schools in an attempt to attain her career goals. However, even when she clears her IAS exam, she isn’t entitled to that position as she is accused of ‘setting a bad example to the society as she was in an illegal child marriage’. The real lady whom Mitali is enacting has filed a case against this decision as she was after all a victim of child marriage, so why should she be wrongly punished?
We contacted Mitali who said, “In Afsar Bitiya Krishna still had a supportive father and husband. The lady who I play on Savdhan India had a far harder time as she had no support system whatsoever. Nevertheless she was so self-motivated.”
Let us hope that the courageous lady who Mitali has played becomes an IAS officer soon. Stern action should be taken against those who debarred her against becoming one on unfair and flimsy grounds.

Breaking News Pratyusha Banerjee quitting Balika Vadhu
It's been an emotional journey Pratyusha Quotes
Pratyusha Banerjee |
Pratyusha Banerjee pondering on quitting Colors’ Balika Vadhu (Sphere Origins). And after a lot of dilly dally, the news has come in that the lovely lady has finally thrown in the towel.
“Yes, my journey has ended in Balika. It’s been an emotional journey wherein I have grown as an actor and a person,” shared Pratyusha with a teary voice.
Media has reported that Toral Rasputra has been signed as the replacement.
So can the show maintain popularity with the most popular face bidding adieu?
“You tell me what do you think about it? Of course, it will be difficult to maintain the same effect after I am gone. Whoever new comes in has to work really hard. But then the situation was identical with Avika stepping out and me coming in, in the past. Balika has some amazing writers and I am sure the show will do really well in the future as well.”

Fair enough…
Talking about the reason on quitting, Pratyusha stated, “My mom has been unwell and even undergone an operation recently. So I have to take care of her. Furthermore, I was not being able to devote ample time and telecast issues were cropping up. Hence we decided amicably that it would be better for everyone if I moved on.”
We wrote about Pratyusha being offered a Mahesh Bhatt movie? What about it? “That is past now and I obviously cannot be a part of it now. I will be on a break for a month or two and later will look for projects. Films may be in a year’s time.”
To conclude, these are her final words for her fans, “I want to thank everyone who has supported me all this while. I love you all. I also want to thank Colors, my production house and each and every cast and crew member of Balika Vadhu.”

A Lonely Valentine for Mohit Sehgal without Sanaya

A Lonely Valentine for Mohit Sehgal without Sanaya
Mohit & Sanaya |
Valentine's Day is all about love and romance and the couples are surely on an all time high. Though many lucky ones are busy surprising their lovers but there are also others who are feeling a bit lonely on this “affection” filled day.
What are we talking about?
Mohit & Sanaya |
Well, we called up Mohit Sehgal to know about his V-Day, and he shared, “Well my Valentine (Sanaya Irani) is out of town so this year we are not together celebrating.”
He continued, “So I have no plans as such for today. I will go out with my friends and enjoy later in the day, may be.”
Gurdip and Arjun Punj Valentine's Day Special

Gurdip and Arjun Punj Valentine's Day Special
Gurdip and Arjun Punj |
It’s Valentine’s Day, love is in the air and I could sense it as soon as I entered The Office and was welcomed by the young and handsome couple - the erstwhile television actor Arjun Punj in a pink shirt on jeans and his beautiful wife Gurdip Kohli who had teamed a pair of red narrow pants with a black sleeveless top. Now I am sure you are curious at all the discrepancies in that opening sentence.
For one I still don’t attend any office, The Office I am talking about here is a resto bar located in Oshiwara, Mumbai secondly I had the actor couple welcoming me for dining with them instead of the other way around – yes, you heard it right for Arjun and Gurdip have turned into restaurateurs and it was at their resto bar that I was invited to dine with them. Thirdly, I said erstwhile because Arjun is concentrating on running his restaurants (he has one more called 36 ml) now though he is open to acting offers.
Gurdip and Arjun Punj |
The Office resto bar is nestled in a street teeming with umpteen restaurants but manages to hold its own with its classy facade that would tempt office goers to march in, the roominess to allow elbow space, lip-smacking food and of course its name is a big draw which according to the owners, “We wanted it to have a name with a connotation. After gruelling work hours people often want to enjoy a drink before going home but they are sceptic about their spouse’s reaction. If they are here, they can comfortably tell their folks at home ‘I am in The Office,’ without lying and not come under the scanner,” winks Arjun. That’s a smart name you have come up with guys!
Besides the bar chairs, the restaurant also has comfortable seating along the periphery, a huge screen to play sports channel as you enjoy your sip of cocktails and mocktails. My glass of bartender’s special with a caramel base had a smooth, soothing effect as we munched from the huge Masala Naan sprinkled with finely chopped tomatoes and onions. Veg Ceasar Salad was scrumptious with croutons and fresh lettuce in veg mayonnaise.
We started with Achari Paneer Tikka and Tandoori Aloo Paneer Puran in which baby potatoes were grilled in a light medium spicy marinade, rolled over black sesame. Then appeared Tandoori Pomfret which was grilled to perfection and Murgh Makhmali Sheekh accompanied with potato mash and boiled veggies comprising of broccoli, zucchini, carrot and cauliflower. The accompabying onions here mentioned Arjun were not sliced or shredded but whole red onion
Best of Luck Nikki on Disney Channel and a cookery show by celeb mom Gurdip on Zee’s Khana Khazana keeps her fairly busy while she gets to be a hands-on mom too to her two-year-old daughter Meher who is into pre-school. Gurdip also debuted into Hindi film industry with Rowdy Rathore where she played a cop. Both are doting parents while Gurdip, with whom the kid spends most of her time, makes sure of the right upbringing by not giving in to all her whims.
V Day and not talk about being romantic is impossible. Here we go:
Are they good at surprising each other?
Gurdip squeals, “Oh No! Arjun’s surprises have been shocking (one instance: before marriage, he once landed up at a shoot to surprise Gurdip but her mother who did not know about their relationship had accompanied her) and I can’t hold a surprise as I always end up spilling the beans.”
How about gifts?
Again the lady says, “He is very good at it. Once he took me to a car showroom and asked me how I liked a particular sedan but before I could check out other cars, I realised he had already booked this one to gift me as the papers were ready.” And who doesn’t like a gift of a sedan baby!
The main course of Tandoori rotis, Diwani Handi of fresh vegetables in a velvety gravy and Yellow Dal Tadka saw me in good stead but my hosts avoided going beyond pomfret and murgh sheekh (they have a figure to maintain, you see). I was offered an eye-catching dessert of Kesar Kheer – piping hot phirni in a martini glass, topped with pistas and cherry.
