Actors who should loose some weight

Bollywood stars are more into fitness and silm bodies like Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor, but in the television industry there are many actors who need to check their weight, we list out a few.

Neha Marda

Neha Marda, a.k.a Gehna of Balika Vadhu fame is starting to look at least five years older. We understand that the diminutive girl was told to put on weight, as she was supposed to deliver a baby in the show. Now that the baby is out, it's time for her to get back into shape.

Vibha Anand

Vibha Anand, Shivshakti, and Jayshree Soni. We've see them playing young bahus or mothers on television. However we often lose sight of the fact that at the end of the day, they are young kids, who do the basic things like any other teenagers at their age.

Vibha Anand, a.k.a Sugna of Balika Vadhu fame is no different. She's only 18, but plays mother to a four-month old boy. The girl from Dehradun has successfully cleared her class 12 exams and is studying B.Com through correspondence.

Her current employment status doesn't allow her to give full-time to her studies but Vibha is confident of clearing her exams ' by hook or by crook. She reminisces about the latter.

"I was appearing for my class 10, first-semester exams then. Our English teacher had told us to master particular chapters. However, I ignored them and instead mugged up other chapters. As it turned out, I was left in a tight spot during the examination. That was the first time when I had to resort to copying. The colleague in the front desk was kind enough to let me peep into her copy. Luckily, I didn't get caught. That's how I cleared that paper," confessed Anand.

B.Com examinations are different from that of class 10. Her hectic work schedule won't allow her time to study. So, will our girl try copying in her B.Com exams too, when they come up next year?

"No, I'll not be doing that. That was the only time I copied in my life. I'll study at the last hour and will definitely pass," said a confident Anand.

We wish her the very best.

500 and going strong
Buzz up!

Balka Vadhu completes 500 episodes and the cast and crew get ready to jump five years ahead and work with an older Anandi as well

Colors' Balika Vadhu, produced by Sphere Origin, has umpteen reasons to celebrate, and the latest is that the show completed 500 episodes on July 1st.

Balika Vadhu is also slated to take a generation leap of five years in mid-July.

The channel in a unique initiative has come up with a poll wherein the viewers have been given the liberty of choosing their future Anandi. The three girls shortlisted for the role include Pratyusha Banerjee [A] from Jamshedpur, Nivedita Tiwari[B] from Lucknow and Ketaki Chitale [C] from Mumbai.

However, according to the rumours , it's Jamshedpur's Pratyusha Banerjee who is said to be finalized as the new Anandi. The channel is expected to make an announcement on this in a few days.

We spoke to Sujoy Wadwa, producer of the show to get his reaction on the completion of 500 episodes and about the new Anandi . "Our concept was different from the rest of the shows, which is what worked in our favour. We are getting into a new phase in Anandi's life, with the five-year leap, so it's a challenging period for us."

About Avika Gor and Avinash Mukherjee, he said, "It was great to have young talent and because of them, our show did well."

Later on we asked him whether there would be a similar poll for Jagya as well? "It would be different strategy that we are planning for his character," he said.

So keep waiting for our new Anandi and so don't forget to watch Balika Vadhu every Monday to Friday at 8 pm only on Colors.

It's the month of twists and turns, and Colors is hoping to keep its viewers engaged for every episode. 'Balika Vadhu' will see new Anandi and Jagdish soon, but there's no shortage of drama in the current episodes where Shyam and Sugna's relationship has hit rock bottom in the aftermath of the Sugna's miscarriage.

Starting today, the focus will shift slightly from Sugna-Shyam to Dadisa and her family. They will be stunned to hear of a body lying outside their premises. The cook, Makhan Singh, informs the household members of a dead body lying outside their premises.

A little birdie informs, "Actually, the person is not dead but she's lying unconscious. The girl in question is none other than Gudiya, who was illegally married to Jagdish by Dadisa. With no one to accept her, Gudiya's parents want her to stay with Jagdish. An unconscious Gudiya is taken in and given necessary medical treatment. While, Dadisa is keen to adopt her but Bharav doesn't allow this to happen. He's fine with the girl staying till she regains good health, but he fears letting her stay in the house forever. He apprehends that her stay will affect Anandi and Jagdish's relationship. So, they agree to bear the cost for her upbringing and send her to a hostel", said a source.

Bringing Gudiya back into the fold only gives rise to speculation that the girl will have more roles to play post the leap that is likely to take place from July 21.

Shyam (Vikrant Massey) and Sugna (Vibha Anand) have been going through a rough patch in their relationship ever since she lost Shyam's child. Her life turned upside down when Shyam left her blaming her entirely for the death of their child.

A source from the show says, "Shyam lands at Suman's place to get a grip on his confused mind.Eventually Suman comes to know the reason why Shyam has left his house. She tries to change Shyam's mind but he will not listen to her. In one of the sequences Suman and Shyam will get drenched in the rain and they get closer but Shyam starts imagining about Sugna and calls her name. He realizes he cannot forget her and returns to his house and brings Suguna back.

Smita Bansal aka Sumitra, the coy soft-spoken bahu in Balika Vadhu says in real life she is nothing like her reel character. She is not at all like the subdued, doormat bahu that she portrays in the serial.

"No one can take me for granted. I am not that subdued in real life at all and I always make it a point to put forth my views. But yes, one thing that I follow very strictly is to never answer back to my elders even though at times I may feel that something is not right," says the actress.

Smita is a part of a very large, loving and extremely supportive joint family and that is where she gathers her strength from. Mother of a seven-yearold daughter, Smita says, "My only connect with my reel character is that like her, I will always strive to keep the family together, come what may."

The actress has been laughing a lot these days — quite a welcome change from the tearyeyed woman we see on screen. She took a break from her daily rona dhona to do a comedy play — 'Want to Get Rid of My Wife' by Parritosh Painter. Smita flashes her sweet smile as she says, "The response which I received for this play was amazing and refreshing. I attempted comedy on stage after a really long time." She says that though she has fun doing theatre and likes the kind of immediate audience response that theatre allows, she will always do television. "Television is my life and I am extremely close to it. I have been into TV for the past 12 years now and theatre for the past three years. TV has a massive worldwide reach and the money is much better than theatre. I just love acting, be it TV, theatre or ad films," she says.

Television's youngest bahu Anandi is growing up. Young Avika Gor, who portrayed the popular character for two years in Balika Vadhu, is naturally going through withdrawal pangs.

"Obviously I'm sad that I won't be part of this show anymore, but then this had to happen," she says. So was she aware of this development in advance or did it come as a shock to her? "I was aware that there would be a time leap at some point. Initially when we started, we children were supposed to be part of the show only for 80 to 100 episodes, but the audience's response was so good that it went on for 500 episodes. So, I am happy about that."

She admits she's going to miss coming on the sets. "I'll miss everyone. They are all my friends and and whenever I miss them a lot, I'll just come over to meet them," she says determined not to lose touch with her teammates.

Usually child artistes, who are in their early teens, take a break during their growing up years and then hope to return to acting again as young adults. But Avika's not wanting to follow that path. "I will not take a break," she declares, "I want to continue acting and I want to tell my audiences that I will be back soon, may be in another serial," says the teenager, who's currently also seen in a cooking reality show.

Avika may have been busy with her acting assignments, but studies have never suffered. "It's all about managing one's time well," maintains the 13-year old. Talk about future dreams and she's clear about wanting to be a beauty queen. So acting's not on the cards? "Of course! After winning the pageant, my next step will be Bollywood," she says confidently. The girl's l

Rajan's Chaand Eclipsed By 'Balika Vadhu'

"We live in times where TRPs fluctuate every week', said Rajan Shahi on 'Bidaai' regaining the top spot on Star Plus.

After the latest TAM rating, Shahi couldn't help but feel a sense of Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam. The joy comes from the fact that 'Bidaai' has marginally retained the number one spot, and 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' continues to be in the top 5. The gam (grief) though is reflected in the below average performance of 'Chaand Chhupa Badal Mein' – Shahi's new show that launched on June 28 at the 8.00 pm slot.

According to TAM data, week 27 (June 27–July 3), 'Chaand Chhupa Badal Mein' could only muster an average TVR of 1.5 (Hindi speaking markets) in its opening week. The inaugural episode garnered a TVR of 1.8. That declined on Tuesday (1.6) and Wednesday (1.5). The following day it dropped to 1.3 before closing the week at 1.4 TVR on Friday.

While it's too early to write off 'Chaand Chhupa Badal Mein', this love story is far behind Shahi's 'Bidaai' and 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' that drew in excess of 3 TVR in its opening episode. The latter, in fact, created a record of sorts having gained over 5 TVR for any new show in that year.

Just a fortnight back, things looked good for 'Chaand Chhupa…' as slot leader 'Balika Vadhu' had fallen behind Zee TV's 'Jhansi's Ki Rani'. One expected 'Chaand…' to ride on this wave, but it wasn't to be. In fact, 'Sajan Ghar Jaana Hai', the show that made way for 'Chaand…', drew an average TVR of 2.3 in its last week.

Colors' 'Balika Vadhu' reclaimed bragging rights at the 8.00 pm slot by generating an average TVR of 4.1 – a good 9 percent more than the preceding week. The Sphere Origins show clocked a peak TVR of 5.0 on Thursday, June 24. 'Balika Vadhu' opened the week with a TVR of 3.5, reached 3.6 next day, before crossing the 4 and 5 mark on Wednesday and Thursday respectively. The rating dropped to 4.0 on Friday.

Though its average TVR increased from 3.5 to 3.7, Zee TV's 'Jhansi Ki Rani' that was slot leader in the previous week, couldn't touch the 4 TVR mark this time.

The surprise packet was SAB TV's new show 'Papad Pol', that upset the balance at the 8.00 pm slot. 'Papad Pol' opened with a TVR of 1.9, but closed the week with 1.1. SAB won't complain as they never saw such numbers at that slot. 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' reached a new high by garnering a peak TVR of 3.7. This performance enabled SAB to reach an all time high of 105 GRPs.

'Bidaai' (5.9) continued to be the top rated show, while 'Pavitra Rishta', that had dropped to number 17 last week, just narrowly missed on reclaiming the top spot with 5.8 TVR.

Meanwhile, Star Plus fell below the 400 GRP mark, but continued to lead the GEC table with 362 GRPs. Colors was second with 269 GRPS, while Zee TV (228) remained at third position.
