Monaz, Pracheen go separate ways

The end: Monaz Mevawala and Pracheen Chauhan

Telly couple Monaz Mevawala and Pracheen Chauhan have parted ways. Of late, they have not been spotted together and onlookers insisted that something was amiss.

This was surprising as they were a much-in-love couple as reported 'Khaas Dost: Pracheen, Monaz' (HiTLIST, June 17, 2006).

Keeping quiet

Monaz features in the Zee drama Jab Love Hua and the soon-to-be axed Sony afternoon saga Risshton Ki Dor. When asked about the relationship going kaput, Monaz says, "I don't like talking about my personal life."

But goad her further and she admits that Pracheen and she are not together. "It was a mutual decision as we realised we were not compatible."

As it is curtains for Risshton Ki Dor, Monaz has set herself a new agenda. "I am now only shooting for Jab Love Hua, so there is time on hand. I want to reinvent myself and change my look."

She is now only looking at only playing lead roles in shows. "It is time for me to think big. I don't want to play second fiddle any more."

Pracheen, who is currently seen in the Zee drama Sinndoor says, "There were certain issues and we are just giving each other time and space. It is not that we have technically split; we needed to be on our own for a while," he says.

Catfight over a dog

Tu tu main main: Priya Badlani and Monaz Mewawalla

Priya Badlani is an ardent animal lover. The actress who plays Aanya in Jab Love Hua recently got into an argument with her co-star Monaz Mewawalla (who plays Esha) over a doggy issue.

A source from the set reveals, "There was a scene with Monaz and a dog (a female pom nicknamed Chitty by the actors) where she had to tie a note around her neck and direct her to some place.

Even before the director could say action, Priya and Monaz got into a fight. Priya was not too happy with the way Monaz was treating the dog and wanted her to perform the scene in a particular manner."

The source adds that the argument turned into a verbal catfight with each of the actors yelling and calling each other names.

Bone of contention

When contacted Monaz confirmed she got into a fight with Priya. "Yes, I had a huge argument with Priya.

The script required me to work with an untrained Pomeran-ian. Since she wasn't listening or following my ins- tructions I had to try and act according to her reactions.

This became a major bone of contention between Priya and me. She wanted me to perform it in a way I didn't agree to."

Monaz says she too is an animal lover and would never go to the extent to harm a creature. "I was definitely not going to cause any grief to the dog.

In fact, she is quite familiar with us and is the location caretaker's pet. Her name is Suzie but we have named her Chitty and she's quite snappy."

The actress also agrees that she got into a verbal argument with Priya. "Till date I have never yelled, screamed or shouted so much at anyone. Both of us were having a competition as to who says the maximum shut-ups."

Patching up

However Monaz adds that she had to soon patch up with Priya as a scene required her to get friendly with her. "Actually, during the fight both of us were extremely angry at each other.

But there was a scene where I had to hold her hand and say some lines. I couldn't have acted that without making up with her!"

Priya Badlani adds such fights are a common part of a daily shoot. "It was all about getting the scene right. But Monaz and I have patched up after the fight. We've forgotten the past and decided to rekindle our friendship."

Who nose?

Priya Badlani

Have you ever noticed Priya Badlani's (Annya of Jab Love Hua) remarkably sharp nose? Well, just check her out in the current episodes of the serial and you will immediately spot the difference. Of late, the actress has been sporting a band-aid on her nose, both on and off screen.

The actress was shopping at a suburban mall when the accident happened. The actress wanted to go from one section of a shop to another section, but slammed into a glass wall instead. Needless to say, she hurt her nose badly and was hospitalised immediately.

Prateek Chavan, the executive producer of Jab Love Hua was present at the situation. "Priya was supposed to come for shoot in the morning. In the mean time, I got a call from Priya telling me that she had met with an accident. I just rushed to the spot and saw her nose bleeding incessantly. It was really sad to see her beautiful nose getting so badly swollen. We just rushed to Hinduja hospital for her treatment."

As the actress was hospitalised, she could not shoot for a few days. Yet, the executive producer is all praise for Priya's dedication to her work. "After her first-aid was complete, she called me and wanted to come for the shoot.

But, we advised her to take proper rest and assured her that shooting would not be affected by her accident." As daily soap changes their track every now and then, Jab Love Hua also changed its track given Priya Badlani's situation. "We have showed Annya having a minor accident on screen, so that audiences do not get confused," Chavan added.

The lady in question, Priya Badlani when contacted shirked the incident as her own folly. "It is possible with me and only me who can't even differentiate between a glass wall and an exit door! I was dizzy with high spiritedness when I rammed into a glass wall. I got hurt very badly and it was really painful. My nose was bleeding and it was swollen in no time. Thankfully, I'm okay now," Priya said.

The actress had to have multiple stitches on her nose. "The stitches will be removed on Saturday and until then, I have to bear with this bandage," she added. A stitch in time saves nine, Priya. Besides, Sunday is a holiday. Give your nose a breather, but don't forget to breathe
