also Ashoka was like really not good looking apparently, hence Bindu did not ever like him..shallow seriously and Sushim was touted to be his favourite.

this is what I read..so m not sure of its authenticity


A lot of literature says that Sushima was favoured by Bindusara.
I think Sushima knew that he only had his father's support and nothing else.

With Ashoka is present around scene his position as king would never be secure because Ashoka was more popular than him.

I haven't started watching it in earnest.Am trying to catch up on literature to see what is written about Ashoka before I start watching it.

Devi is cute looking just like in SRK's Ashoka😆

Kareena Kapoor made a very strong impression of Karuwaki that's why I find myself comparing Soumya Seth's Karuwaki with that of Kareena's😆

I really miss the creative team of Balika Vadhu. They were a fantastic team even when their story was not going any where and they knew the beauty that lies in subtlety.That style of narration thru such subtle scenes together with Surekhaji and the bubbly little girl were the ones which got me hooked to the show.

They knew how to select their cast and how to get good performances from their cast. Even if the story didn't move one bit the episodes were still worth watching for those beautifully conceived and well executed scenes regardless of the fact whether they featured our favourite characters/actors or not.

That's why I am finding it difficult to watch any Hindi shows.

I put up with replacements of the artistes but can't put up with replacement of the story and the creative team.

Watching Romedy and Comedy central is far less stressful than watching Hindi shows.

i actually think Ashoka is still watchable though..I enjoyed yesterday's episode in that sense
BV 2.0 is beyond my imagination cringeworthy🤢

im tuning into more of National Geographic/ History TV stuff these days..really liked pretty much all that I saw from 10 to 12 between those two channels😆😆😆 world's most extreme railways was awesome!

impressed to know the way they have built up railway connectivity between Chennai and Rameshwaram😲😲

I haven't watched Ashoka on a regular basis before so I find myself lost while watching the show to top it all my knowledge in history is very minimal.
That's why I am trying to check up on the background.
Haven't had a chance to brush up on history after I left it in class X.It's been donkey's years since I have been in class X.It was in last century to be precise😆

Other day I caught Friends episode where Brad Pitt played cameo as Rachel's schoolmate.I missed all those episodes leading to season finale where Rachel and Ross got married finally.

Deciding to leave replacement Vadhu was a good one.😆

The news of Arjun Bijlani, Siddharth Nigam, Ruhanika Dhawan, Nora Fatehi and many others joining Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 9 has been doing the rounds in the media for quite some time now.

And the latest media buzz suggests that Varun Dhawan and Ranveer Singh have been approached to judge the upcoming season of Jhalak.

The previous season had Karan Johar and Shahid Kapoor as the judges. Malaika Arora Khan also stepped in as Karan's replacement after he moved out for prior commitments.

The report even claims while Karan will be retained as one of the judges, the makers and Shahid Kapoor are not willing to join hands after the bitter experiences of the past season. Hence, the channel is all set to rope in Bollywood biggies like Ranveer and Varun to replace Shahid.

Wow!!! Isn't that a great piece of news?

Let us know whom would you love to watch as the judge of Jhalak? Varun or Ranveer?

The Brad one was major LOL😉😆
"I hate Rachel club"🤣 Ok so Rachel and Ross tested every ounce of my patience as a couple..but Friends and every character as a whole is just so fun at any given time..pick up any episode and watch

😃😃

+++++++++++++++
Ranveer is a big YES for me, I love his energy and positivity that he brings along but he is everywhere these days, I mean how will he squeeze it in his busy schedule - between work shoots and all the Toronto trips to meet his beloved DP😕😆

Egaad Varun would be another Shahid🥱🥱🥱

ok wow, so Shahid had massive problems and all the rumours about him being insecure of Manish and all of that was true😕😕 anyway he was a big BORE🥱🥱

Don't know what Shahid was doing on JDJ.
He was fine as a judge but he was trying to hard to be funny and that was not funny at all especially when he was doubling up for host 😛

That brings me to the other reality show IGT current season. Everything works well except KJo's stupid yellow phone.

Just read on TOI that Shakti Anandi is apparently shocked by Revamped/replacement Vadhu😆

Shakti Anand was really good as J😊.He made me like Jagya first time after he became adult😆


Shakti and T looked quite good together.
