Star Plus gets its title!! We had reported earlier, Ekta Kapoor is coming up with a show for Star Plus.
Drashti Dhami, who was last seen in
Zee TV's 'Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani' and
Shaleen Malhotra are roped in to play
the protagonists. Gulmohar Grand
actress Aakanksha Singh was also approached to play the female lead,
but finally Drashti was zeroed to play
the role because the makers and the
channel felt Geet Hui Sabse Parayi
actress fit the bill perfectly. Laksh Lalwani, who was accused of
being a troublemaker and was in the
news for his showdown with his &TV's
Adhuri Kahani Humari costar Mahima
Makwana has been finalized to play
the Drashti's boyfriend Amit (or Veer). Alok Narula will be playing the role of
Rajiv and Ruhi Singh will be seen as
Zenobia, while Sangeeta Kapure, who
was also seen in 'Devon Ke Dev...
Mahadev', has been finalized to play
Chanchal. Media reports have speculated that
the show is inspired by Shahrukh Khan,
Mahima Chaudhry and Apurva Agnihotri
film 'Pardes'. Shaleen, Drashti and
Laksh's characters will be on the lines
of Shahrukh, Mahima and Apurva's role in the film respectively. But our reliable source told us that
the show has nothing to do with
Subhash Ghai's superhit film, the only
similarity is that the show is
tentatively titled as 'Pardes'.
Nevertheless, the show is loosely inspired from Manju Kapur's novel 'The
Immigrant'. Here are the brief details about the
show: Drashti will be seen as Nina Batra, who
is 27 years old teacher. Her father, a
well-travelled diplomat, died suddenly,
leaving his daughter and widow to live
in reduced circumstances. Nina's
brother is settled in Canada, but refused to extend a financial helping
hand. Nina's ex-boyfriend Amit was about to
settle in Canada, he decides to revive
his old love and proposed Nina for the
marriage. She was initially
apprehensive because she doesn't
want to leave her ailing mother alone. But then she decided to go-head and
accepts Amit's proposal. Unfortunately,
her mother's health took a turn for
the worse before her wedding. Nina felt helpless without money.
Canada based Ananda Mehra, who runs
a charitable trust came as a knight in
shining armor to help her in this
difficult situation. Gradually, Nina's
mother gets back on her feet, after which Nina flies to Canada to meet her
fiance. However, destiny took a sad
turn and Nina was left with a broken
heart after getting dumped by Amit.
Once again Ananda came as Nina's
rescuer. Two strangers become friends and their friendship eventually bloomed
into a loving relationship. After marriage, Nina realized, Ananda is
not the scion of the empire as she
believed. Ananda is a good human
being, a devoted family man. Nina
noticed because of Ananda's over-
trusting nature, his family is taking him for granted, that's why she
encouraged him to start his own
business and stand on his own feet. Nina and Ananda struggled to survive
and become a support system for each
other. -K Himaanshu Shuklaa..
