Where have all the vamps gone? | |
Vamp - that uniquely Indian word for women who are less than sweet and good, and often more than bold and scheming. We especially love her for the drama and excitement she adds to any Indian serial. We don't get to see as many vamps on TV anymore, but here's our list of favourites: |
Anchint Kaur, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii Achint's most famous role was as the vamp, Pallavi, in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. But these kind of roles were her forte, as we saw in Ranbir Rano, Karam Apnaa Apnaa, Virrudh, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kittie Party, and, in the early days, in Banegi Apni Baat, Swabhimaan, Saaya and Parchhaiyan. Achint also runs her own salon, where she her time away from acting. It's been a while seen we saw her in any serial. |
Kavita Kaushik She did the negative role of Manya, a psycho lover who wanted to steal her man back, in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. She was well-appreciated for her insanity but, for a change, she is now famous as Haryanvi cop Chandramukhi Choutala in FIR. This character has turned to be a bigger hit for her than the earlier one.

Saakshi Tanwar and Ronit Roy in short film
In a tribute to Rabindranath Tagore on his 150th birth anniversary, TV stars will come together to make a film based on his short story, Kabuliwala.
Saakshi Tanwar Last seen in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii took home Rs 45,000 per day. After her show got over even the actress was bored of doing the same monotonous roles which she had done for almost 8 years and wanted to grow as an actress so now she is all set to venture into films. |
Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii: A hit fiction show which tried to showcase the reality of society in various incidents, before wrapping up, it had a very infamous murder case of Aarushi, which left the entire nation stunned. In the show, the character called Tanu was also raped and shown killed like Aarushi. |
For all those who have been wondering what Saakshi Tanwar is up to these days, here is the dope. Saakshi, who had disappeared from the television scene after playing Parvati in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, has moved ahead in her professional life. She has become the Creative Consultant of the show, Samman: Ek Adhikar. Interestingly, the channel which broadcasts Samman…, has stopped most of its other weekly shows. Naturally, the TRPs of Samman Ek Adhikar are satisfying enough for the channel to have retained it as one of their few shows. A source (name withheld on request) from the production house, says, "Saakshi's presence on the show is one of the main reasons why Samman… is doing well. Her degree of involvement in the show is very high. Saakshi is primarily responsible for the twists and turns in the storyline. She also visits the sets very often." Associate Creative of Samman Ek Adhikar, Lavesh Ahairajani confirmed the news. He says, "As the head of the creative team on our show, Saakshi brings in a lot of energy. She is the answer to all our day-to-day problems. She has even come up with very catchy dialogue on the spur of the moment." Despite repeated attempts, Saakshi Tanwar remained unavailable for comment. |

TV's famous bahu Parvati Agrawal aka Saakshi Tanwar is back on the small screen.
We spoke to Saakshi and Anoop about the show and more.
Saakshi said the show this season would be "focusing more on crime against women, children and senior citizens," and that was an important part of her association with the show. "We are trying to create awareness about the issue and will have helplines."
"There won't be any dramatization of the cases," she added.
Asked what inspired them to take up the show, Saakshi said: "I think this will be a platform to again connect with my audience. So far they have seen me as a particular character and I am fortunate enough to have got a positive response for that. This is an opportunity to display the credibility I have gained by playing different characters."
Anoop said: "I am happy with one soap and I don't want to give all 30 days in the month to one soap. I said yes to this because it's an opportunity to be connected to reality."
