Fans rejoice when they see their favourite and popular TV stars on the screen. However, there are a few actors who though enjoying the taste of success now, once went unnoticed. Though luck plays a vital role in making an actor popular, the character will always be considered bigger than the actor. Mohit Raina: Over the last 2 years Mohit Raina has ruled the hearts of millions and has created a niche for himself in the industry. All thanks to his character Mahadev. The actor though had acted in shows like Chehra, Ganga Ki Dheej and he debuted on the small screen with Star Plus'Antariksh which failed to claim fame and went unnoticed by the audience. Viewers questioned Mohit who was a fresh face when they saw him on Mahadev.

Let's do something interesting today... let's create a supposed conversation between the Producer, the Channel and the Writer of the show.
(some days later after the script of season 2 is working upon)
The end!!!
The writer, producer and the channel feels they have so intelligently introduced a super amazing idea that nobody has ever used in the industry... but the truth: Well every second show on ever other channel is facing this conversation and is feeling brilliant by choosing any one of these few trademark TRP revival tricks. Although the conversation might not be as simple as I have portrayed, but the essence I guess would have remained same forever.
Since 2013, is a part of forever... The shows definitely have used these old school techniques to make it to the next year. For some it worked and some are thinking if any other might have worked better...
These tricked are used so often, that they have somehow become Telly Trends... Even in 2013, this trend has maintained a steady speed over the year. So, obviously in our journey down the memory lane, we ought to remember the show it was. let's look at which show did what???
Telly Trend - Leap
Telly Trend: Season 2
This is definitely a new emerging Trend in the television industry... While international television shows usually gets divided into season to keep audiences hooked and booked for long.
But in India... it was either extend the story like a chewing gum or just axe once it for all. But not now, the show is made after a break with either with the same story and characterization continued or a different story is introduced all together. But one thing is for sure, the trend that caught sparks last year has converted into a flaming fire this year.
When the show went off, the fans were hopping mad and their constant yearning to get the show back led to Na Bole season 2. With a leap in the plot, the viewers did like the show, but somewhere the magic of the first part was missing and thus axe came over the second season as well.
Telly Trend - Replacement
Although in my mini script above the replacement is an act of creating buzz... and at time it may be, but the production house, channel and stars have various professional and personal reason to take this step.
Model Farhan Khan became the most talked about debutant when he landed the lead role opposite Sanaya Irani but unfortunately he was unable to create any chemistry with Sanaya and the TRPs hit new lows each week.
A little birdie told us that now even Puja is planning to quit after just 4 months.
Uff!!! This has definitely been the longest post of our countdown this year... so, may be now you will agree that the sudo - conversation in the start of post holds ground in our Industry. There are only a handful of tricks that our makers use to give that final push to the show. If it works, its great; if it didn't work, at least they tried all they could do.
Well although we would definitely suggest some new types of twist in our daily soaps, but these are not too bad either. If done properly and correctly it suits the show and receives audiences love again.
So, better old school than innovative!!!! While you ponder about it and the shows above... we bid adieu, only to come back tomorrow for the next edition of our countdown post. till then Keep Watching, Keep Enjoying and Keep Reading!!! And yup don't forget to send across your Views, Reviews, Suggestions and Remarks.

The very popular Mohit Raina who has won the hearts of masses with his character inDevon Ke Dev. Mahadev feels that Rajbeer Singh has a lot of potential in him. He was impressed with Rajbeer's acting skills while watching the promo of the show The Adventures of Hatim.
Mohit says that Rajbeer looks promising on screen and is very talented, "Rajbeer seems to be very talented. I have seen his work through the promos of The Adventures of Hatim and I feel he is doing very well."
Further he adds, "Two years back I was on the same stage and it's all because of the Mahadev team I have reached to this success. And I just want to say that Rajbeer is in very safe hands and he just has to be with them and follow them and he will reach the path towards success and glory."
Well Mohit, TellyBuzz wishes you all the very best for all your future endeavors.
How has 2013 been?
The year has been really good for me. This year, I played a lot of avatars in ...Mahadev. My favourite was Jallandhar where I got to play a negative character. It was quite challenging to play two characters " Mahadev and Jallandhar at the same time. I also received an award for Best Negative for Jallandhar. So, this year has been quite promising.
Has the show changed you as an actor?
Yes, definitely. Because I have played so many avatars, some Godly some human, in Devon ke Dev Mahadev, I have evolved as an actor. And because of that I have grown as a person as well.
Your reaction to your fame?
Honestly, I did not think about it. I was given a serious and responsible role to play. All I knew I had to put more than my 100 per cent for this. I shoot almost all seven days a week and try to give my best every single day. I will not say I am a big fan of the show, but I am a big fan of Lord Shiv.
What about fan following?
There are lots. Some have really surprised me a lot. I have realised people expect a lot from me. They have seen Shiva inside me. I have had people come to my door steps, my gym, on my sets seeking my blessings. These things surprise me. Once I was in Varanasi, a man in his mid 40s came to meet me from Jalandhar. He touched my feet and asked for blessings. I was stunned. I picked him and hugged him. He said he is blessed now. I think that was the most memorable moment in my life.
What are you looking forward to in 2014?
I am looking forward to better in my character of Mahadev. I hope I receive the same amount of love and respect from my audience in the coming year as well.

Okay!!! So we are going down the memory lane one by one... but what is the need to recall the Best Couple?? Aren't most of them making to the New Year?
Well!!! yes off course they are tagging along with us, but it would be a total waste of going down the memory lane and not remembering what these couples have taught us.
Taught us???? Excuse me... What have these couple who are so much in love that everybody enjoys taking them apart and thus plot against them to teach us?
Think of it!! There is tons!!!
This is just the start of it... each couple teaches you almost same things in a different setup, so that the Permutation and combinations of your learning chances becomes large.
So, if you feel you have learned something just tag along to remember those learning and thank them for it. If you have missed the chance this year, remember to keep an eye on them for the next for a chance to have some romantic tips from them.
Aditya-Pankhuri (Pyaar Ka Dard Hai) - She was a blind believer in love and relationships, he hardly believes in anything. A perfect start for the opposite to attract... And attract they did and made a space directly into your hearts and our list.
Akbar-Jodha (Jodha-Akbar) - this blast from the past is no different from present. Two individuals are that busy hating each other and they don't realize when the hatred is converted into love.
Amit-Amita (Amita Ka Amit) - A chubby girl and a serious boy opting for an arranged marriage and finding love in it made a very sweet story and Chandni and Nishad looked really cute on-screen with their chirpy romance.
Arjun-Purvi (Pavitra Rishta) - They have taken the love from reel life to real life... not only sizzling the screens with their chemistry on the show, but also grooving on Nach Baliye's dance floor.
Asad-Zoya (Qubool Hai) - Same story... fell in love while fighting, these opposite attracted trouble for each other but amazing on screen chemistry for us.
Dhruv-Saanchi (Kehta Hai Dil..Jee Le Zara) - we wondered how this elder woman-young boy love story would blossom, but the way the two have made their entrance in the viewers' heart, we give them full points.
Jagya-Ganga (Balika Vadhu) - Shashank Vyas is one happy man who got to romance multiple girls on-screen and due to this habit... it took barely any time for him to set the tuning with Sargun on Sriti's replacement as ganga.
Jetha-Daya (Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah) - They might not be the usual lovey-dovey couple on TV, but they are the epitome of married couples who stand by their partner forgoing their negative sides and accepting and loving them till death do them apart.
Juju-Jeannie (Jeannie Aur Juju) - This is a cute fairy tale that is more of a friendly one that mushy affair.
Mahadev-Parvati (Mahadev) - They are a pair made by the Gods. Mohit Raina and Pooja Bose looked heavenly portraying these characters.
Naitik-Akshara (Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai) - They have been here for five years and are still one of the best pairs on-screen. Karan Mehra and Hina Khan epitomized the bonding of an arranged married couple happily married with a kid in the soap, the couple has stood by each other through thick and thin.
Ram-Priya (Bade Achhe Lagte Hain) - They are talented and have been around for quite some time now and with a show focused on their love story, their chemistry came forward really well. This aged couple has now got teenager kids on-screen but their love story still is one to look forward to.
RK-Madhu (Madhubala) - One superstar, the other a common girl. Both the actors took the characters to a different level with their awesome performance and a very spicy chemistry.
Saras-Kumud (Saraswatichandra) - They both are so good looking together that you will want them to be together forever and ever.
Shiv-Anandi (Balika Vadhu) - Their relationship is a mature one with both of them not just accepting each other as partners but also the families making them the perfect Indian man and woman.
Sooraj-Sandhya (Diya Aur Baati Hum) -An uneducated husband fighting against his family and the society to help his wife become an IPS officer has made Anas Rashid and Deepika Singh the most sought out couple in the TV shows. Their clean and pure love story has evolved and now the viewers are getting to see some mushiness in them too (Thankfully!).
Swayam-Sharon (Dil Dosti Dance) - They have a love-hate relation that has become strong with them bonding over their only identical passion-dance.
Well!!! Off course this is not the end. With every story somehow revolving around a couple... there are more couples worth learning from, but we have compiled a small list for your ease.
When Amitabh Bachchan made his debut on the small screen in 2000 with Kaun Banega Crorepati, television stopped being the poor country cousin of Bollywood. Since then, other biggies like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Priyanka Chopra and many more have hosted many shows but they have still avoided fiction and participating in reality shows with a barge pole. But that changed in 2013 with Bollywoodians, big and small, making their debuts in television in fiction and reality shows. Here's a list...
Anil Kapoor seems to have done for fiction withColors' 24 what AB did 13 years ago with KBC. The reprise of the international show by the same name had Anil himself playing the role of Jack Bauer but also saw other Bollywood actors likeShabana Azmi, Rahul Khanna, Richa Chadda andAnita Raaj acting in the same show.
Mallika Sherawat went hunting for a beau in Life OK's The Bachelorette India - Mere Khayalon Ki Mallika the adaptation of The Bachelorette and had young hopefuls making a beeline to be the one' for her.
Shilpa Shirodkar was quite the hot property in Bollywood in the 1990s, after which she chose matrimonial bliss over a career and moved to London. Now 13 years later, she is back as Kamla Bai in Zee TV's Ek Mutthi Aasmaan.
Ruslaan Mumtaz gave fame a shot on the big screen with films like MP3: Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar, Dangerous Ishq, I Don't Luv U, etc. And now he is wowing the audiences as Dhruv Goel in Sony TV's Kehta Hai Dil... Jee Le Zara oppositeSangeeta Ghosh.
Rahul Dev played a demon in Life OK's Devon Ke Dev Mahadev while Jugal Hansraj was seen in an episode of UTV Bindaas's Yeh Hai Aashiqui. Ekta Kapoor's Ek Thhi Naayka on Life OK had Konkona Sen Sharma and Huma Qureshi making guest appearances for the promotional show for Ekta's film Ek Thi Daayan. Actress Amrita Rao's sister, Preetika Rao, though not a Bollywood actor but a name to reckon with in the South Indian film industry has debuted with Colors' Beintehaan. From the looks of it, 2014 will also continue having Bollywood stars dazzling on the small screen with Amitabh Bachchan and wife Jaya Bachchan giving a nod to separate fictions shows.
Dhaval Roy
The controversial year so far saw much of masala, entertainment, fights and gossips. The one amongst them was the reality show Bigg Boss Saath 7 though now has ended, but viewers have always got entertainment through such show. Hence we decided to list down few shows which have created much hype in the TV industry...
Bigg Boss, bigger controversies
The indomitable and controversy's kid host of the showSalman Khan himself said exasperatedly that this may be the last time he was hosting Bigg Boss. What is bringing the infallible Khan down? All the fights and controversies in the house. Not that this was anything new but this year took the cake along with the icing and the cherry for the fights.
The temper tantrums of Armaan Kohli, the row betweenKushal Tandon and Andy when the former was accused of assault, Kushal walking out and his alleged girlfriend Gauahar Khan following him after a ranting and fainting spell... Kushal's fight with Tanisha Mukherjee. Kushal re-entering and being evicted midweek. Armaan Kohli's fight with Sofia Hayat after which she came out to the house and filed a case on him for physical assault. Armaan was arrested from the house, released on bail and returned. Just the tip of the iceberg, this list!
Gutthi went katti with Comedy Nights with Kapil
The duo of Gutthi-Palak lost its charm with Gutthi (Sunil Grover) walking out of the show. No one knows the real reason still and everything is just a conjecture. Whether it is being blamed on Sunil becoming too big for his boots, asking for a bigger remuneration, or starting his own show on another channel, all possible reasons one could think of have been named. The character is patented and cannot be used on any other channel, so the Colors' legal notice says. Apparently, Sunil will be doing his own show on Star Plus soon.
Karan Singh Grover's Qubool kaboom
Always the rockstar, Karan Singh Grover! But this time it didn't go down well with producer Gul Khan of Qubool Hai, which Karan plays Asad. There were reports of his unprofessional behavior, late arrivals for the shoot, and even in inebriated state. The channel and makers had had enough and showed him the door. There are talks of defamation lawsuit from Karan who claims he couldn't be there for shoots because of health issues and because was meant to be on the show for just a year. Karan has now been replaced by Raqesh Vashisht.
Sonarika Bhadoria bids adieu to Devon Ke Dev Mahadev
The ethereal beauty Sonarika Bhadoria won everyone's heart as Parvati in the Life OK show. A year later, it came as a shocker when she left the show apparently because she was unhappy with the remuneration revision she got on the show after which she started throwing tantrums. Sonarika was replaced by Pooja Bose, who has also left the show now!
Pratyusha Banerjee bails on Balika Vadhu
The ever loved Anandi was all grown up and Pratyusha Banerjee stepped into the shoes of Avika Gor after the five year leap and became an instant hit. And then after three years of playing Anandi and seeing many high points in the show came the news of her walkout from the show like a bolt from the blue. Supposedly the hectic schedules took a toll on Pratyusha's health and she was tired of playing the ideal bahu too. But another theory is that she quit for a career in Bollywood and that the production house was fed up of her starry tantrums. She was seen in Bigg Boss Saath 7recently.
The Saraswatichandra sad saga
Everyone was quite curious about Sanjay Leela Bhansali's television venture Saraswatichandra, which was touted to be a big show because of its grandiose. First the lack of chemistry between Jennifer Singh Grover and Gautam Rode made the headlines as the reason for the show not doing well. Reportedly, Jennifer didn't want to do intimate scenes with Gautam because it would miff her husband Karan Singh Grover.
Then Sanjay gave the show up after there was news of plugs being pulled on the show because of low ratings. Balika Vadhu fame Sunjoy Wadhwa has now taken over the reign and things are said to be better!
