Sasha's much awaited honeymoon

Bliss finally!
Chetan Hansraj
Sasha (Chetan Hansraj) who married his long time girlfriend Lavinia Pereira on December 14 has finally got time to go on a much-deserved honeymoon.

After shooting non-stop for both Kkusum (Sony) and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii (Star Plus), he has decided to take time off. "I am off to my much awaited honeymoon on the 20th this month. Most probably I will be going to Dubai."

When asked about the delay he said, "I know its weird to go on a honeymoon after two months, but my schedule just wouldn't let me plan one. Now that my track on Kahaani comes to a conclusion I have managed to get some time off with Lavinia."

Kahaani's new Pallavi
   By: Tushar Joshi
   January 31, 2005

Achint Kaur to play Parvati
The vengeful Pallavi will soon be back in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii (Star Plus).

The role of the vicious bhabhi who's out to make life difficult for Parvati (Sakshi Tanwar) was formerly played by Shweta Kwatra.

Now, Achint Kaur (Pixie of Zee's Kittie Party and who was recently seen in Sony's Kkoi Dil Mein Hai) will essay the role. We ask Kaur about her new role…

How does it feel to be the new Pallavi?
It feels great. I will be shooting for the episode some time this week. I had made up my mind about playing the character and was waiting for the track to work out.

You are stepping into a role made famous by some one else?
I don't think there can be any comparisons made. I will play Pallavi the way I have to; the way it suits the show and the character. The audience should get ready to see Pallavi again in a new avtaar.

Will Pallavi have the same look as the audience has seen before?
Yes, she will be seen in a sari. I mean she is a bhabhi so we can't expect her in Western wear. Probably fusion wear, but the saris will definitely be there.

Though I still have to sit and discuss my exact look for the show.

Pallavi is famous for being a negative character, will she stay the same?
I don't think she is negative; she is vindictive. Her relation with Parvati will be the same.

Mansi Verma (Monalika of
Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii) and Karan Patel (Viraj of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii) at the shoot of the item number in Koi Dil Mein Hai
Mansi Varma (Monolika of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii) and Karan Patel (Viraj of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii) will feature in an item number in the weekly Balaji soap Kkoi Dil Mein Hai (Sony) in tonight's episode.

They will sway to the tunes of the Bindaas number from the Balaji film Krishna Cottage.

In a proverbial twist to the tale, it will have the main protagonist Krittika (Karishma Tanna) go for a movie where during an item number by Varma and Patel, she spots Arjun (Ejaz Khan) as one of the backdrop dancers.

According to creative director Sandeep Sikcand, "It is part of the script where Kritikka spots Arjun that she will plant in the Punj household."

Kkoi Dil Mein Hai, a weekly half-hour soap, was turned into a one-hour drama  from January 20 with a change in day from Friday to Thursday. It will now again be a half hour show from next week.

What's ailing Parvati?
   By: Tushar Joshi
   January 6, 2005

Saakshi Tanwar in
Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii
Friends of TV star Saakshi Tanwar who plays Parvati in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii (Star Plus) have expressed concern about the actress.

Saakshi who has been losing weight steadily and appearing wan and teary-eyed on the sets has been under tremendous strain playing the role of care-worn housewife Parvati. For the last four years she has been working almost 18 hours a day without breaks, which even resulted in two fainting fits.

She was diagnosed as suffering from acute fatigue and vertigo and was advised a long break which she hasn't taken because of her commitments in Kahaani.

Co-workers have also commented on her increasingly erratic behaviour on sets. 

"She would get so involved in her character that there were times when she'd keep crying uncontrollably even after the shot was okayed," says a co-actor pleading anonymity.

Yet another Balaji staffer added: "Saakshi can get rather unpredictable.

She'd throw a fit if visitors came on the sets and ask them to leave the premises. She is often rude and occasionally weird though she is trying to make an effort now to socialise with others on the sets."

Tanwar, who is one of the most popular and best-paid artistes on television essays the role of a harried housewife who goes through several upheavals in life and is often anxious and depressed. 

Admitting that her on-screen character has indeed taken a heavy toll on her, Tanwar says, "The last six months of 2003 was the worst period in my life. I was in a very bad condition. I had lost weight and was in terrible shape.

I have also been suffering from vertigo and can't board planes or climb stairs. I have been seeking treatment but it turned out to be more of a mental problem than a physical one. I have had to use a lot of my will power to try and overcome this and I recently went on a plane trip."

Very often, says the actress all that endless crying on the sets left her with no energy.

"It was so stressful to weep that I had nothing left to say to anyone. It came to a point that I started feeling like Parvati in real life also. But the current track sees her as a stronger personality who is set out to avenge all the wrongdoings.

There was no time to spend with the family and the last Diwali was the first one in five years that I could spend with my parents and go out and travel," she adds.

Though shooting for the daily soap her schedule is still in full progress, Tanwar says that she is making a conscious effort to break out of the Parvati mould and is considering other offers that are coming her way. "I have now learnt that I must respect my mind and my body foremost".

Fitness expert Dr Snehalata Pandey's tips to avoid breakdown:

Having no work to do takes a greater toll on a person than overwork. But one needs to have a balanced work profile.

Any kind of weight loss is great as long as it isn't due to some sickness.

If you are working for a show for a long period it is must to undergo health check-ups at regular intervals.

Drink lots of water.

Respect your body and have no self-pity. Have confidence in yourself to be a better individual.

Sweta Keswani who worked in Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki at the same time

I still remember the time I would shoot for Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand.

Aruna ji would call us at 7.30 am for a 9 am shot, and all of us compulsorily had to be there. She is a real taskmaster. I have definitely undergone lot of physical stress in those days.

When you shoot from 7 am to 11 pm, what else would you expect? I am a short girl, around 5'2" so I would be wearing heels most of the time that would kill my feet.

One doesn't realise the amount of time you spend standing on the sets, and if you are doing a daily then it's just killing. I like other television stars would carry a pillow with me and crash anywhere I could. Also if you are doing outdoors for a long time in the sun then you end up dehydrating yourself.

Food is another concern. Most of the set tiffin is really bad for your tummy. Fortunately my mom would always see to it that I carried home food.

When I quit Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, a lot of people thought I walked out due to the age leap but the real reason was that I was getting burned out.

 It was too difficult concentrating on both Kahaani and Des at the same time, which would make me work for more than 12 hours back to back.

Sasha
(Chetan Hansraj)
Soap: Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii
He might last out because he's both good (Kkusum) and bad (Kahaani) which is just what the women like. Also, he's tall so he does kind of dwarf the others
