Ekta's Gharwali Baharwali is now Kabhie Yaar Kabhie Pyaar

After conquering Indian television with her daily fiction soaps, the czarina of Indian television, Ekta Kapoor is all set to conquer the hearts of her audience with her upcoming reality shows. While everyone is aware of Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket on 9X, the audience is also eager to know about the other reality show on Sony, Gharwali Baharwali. Telly Buzz gives you exclusive details.

Sources inform us that the Balaji reality show, earlier called Gharwali Baharwali, will now be known as Kabhie Yaar Kabhie Pyaar. The participants of the show will be seen shaking a leg with their reel and real life partners on stage. Giving us an insight on the trios performing in the show, our source says, “Currently Varun Badola, Rajeshwari Sachdev and Suhasi Goradia, Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan and Rakshanda Khan, Vishal Singh, Parineeta and Dimple Jhangiani, Jatin Shah, Priya Bhatija and Shalini have been approached and almost finalized as the trios for the show. Some more names will be added to the list. We also got news that Naman Shaw was offered the show too. We caught up with the actor to know more and he says, “Kabhie Yaar Kabhie Pyaar is unique show where you have to partner with your on-screen and off-screen partner!” So which category does Naman fall? To which the reclusive actor replies, “Let time answer that question!”

Naman will also be seen in Ekta’s second reality show, Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket. When quizzed about this show, Naman says, “The first show is a talent hunt. Since I was in Zee Cinestar Ki Khoj, I definitely have an advantage. But unlike other talent hunts, the winner will get a chance to work with Balaji and Popcorn Entertainment's film.” Similarly Tina Parekh has also been approached for the show but is reticent to divulge any details as she says, "Yes, I have been approached to do the show. But please don't ask me who I am being paired with."

Some of the other stars approached for Kabhie Yaar Kabhie Pyaar were Indraneil-Barkha, Karan Singh Grover- Shraddha Nigam, Vikas Sethi- Amita, Mona Singh- Karan Oberoi, Ali Merchant- Sara Khan and Sachin – Supriya Pilgaonkar, but these couples were unable to accept the offer due to date issues and personal reasons.

Now this sure seems like a show you wouldn’t want to miss!!!
