Ashwini Kalsekar's back problem

Shooting non-stop for three years, spinning jaals for the main protagonists in serials has given a severe backache to Ashwini Kalsekar, instead of headaches.

Ashwini Kalsekar (Adira of Jeete Hai Jiske Liye) talks about her back problems and taking a much needed break from work.

"I'm getting my treatment from Dr.Chaddha. His clinic is in Lokhandwala (Andheri). He is a physiotherapist. I am feeling much better now. I am not doing much work now. My film Johnny Gaddar is complete an it's releasing in June. I am desperately waiting for the release of this movie. I am playing a very different role in this film. It's a thriller and my role is a positive one in this film."

Ashwini says: "Right now I'm just chilling out. I am not in a mood to work. I worked for three years continuously. This break is a much needed one for me. In Virrudh I have few scenes so I don't feel too much pressure about it."

Ashwini's prominent show Jeete Hai Jiske Liye went of the air last week on Friday (11 May). Right now she is doing only one show Virrudh.

"I'm missing Jigyasa (Kasamh Se, now played by Jaya Bhattacharya). I generally never stick to any show. I am mostly attached to my characters. I still remember Adira and Jigyasa. I am purposely not signing any show or film. I want to take a rest now. But if any interesting offer will come then I will definitely accept it."

Ashwini is famous for doing negative characters. She is also famous for her roles in C.I.D., Kasamh Se, K.Street Pali Hill and many others.

    Koffee with Karan gets steaming with TV hotties

    Koffee with Karan has some unusual guests lined up this week. Karan will be playing host to close friend and reigning soap queen Ektaa Kapoor for the second time. But this time Ektaa doesn't come alone but with her current blue eyed boys – Hiten Tejwani, Ram Kapoor and Ronit Roy.

    Ram says that they had a great time and a blast on the sets. "It was pleasure meeting Karan. He is very easy person to talk with. Hiten, Ronit and me enjoyed it and we shared a great comfort level. There was not a single problem during the shoot. We pulled Ektaa's leg as well as each others'. Ektaa was as usual nice on the show. The whole episode is like a memory to me. So I can't mention about any particular moment which is memorable for me."

    "All three of us asked rapid fire question to Ektaa and we only decided whether she should win the hamper or not? We asked her some difficult questions of choosing one of us as her favourite. But it was great episode. I would surely like to go on that show again with anyone. This is very different show," adds Kapoor.

    Hiten seconds Ram opinion. "It was really a wonderful experience being on the show. This episode is the best. After watching this episode people will come to know how different I am in real life. They will come to know more about real Hiten. I liked the way Karan asked certain questions, which reveals what kind of person you are. Ektaa was as spontaneous as she is in real life. Her every answer was instantaneous but at the same time, it was not bitchy. It was very lovely episode. Every moment was memorable for me of this show. I would love to go in the show again with my wife Gauri," says Hiten.

    Ronit Roy, who is currently a part of two of Ektaa's most popular shows, says that KwK felt more like Ektaa's show. "It was nice to be on that show. It felt like it was completely Ektaa's show and we were the guests on the show. It was great experience. If I will say anything about it then it would be out of my line. However, I enjoyed it very much. All of us had good time on the sets. I would definitely like to visit the show again. This is the great show. But I never thought of anybody with whom I can go again."

    The best part of the show was public and members of Balaji expressing who they think is the most suitable person for Ektaa? Is it Jai Walia, Rahul Bajaj, Karan Virani, Mihir Virani or Sujal? Or even better… is it Karan Johar

    Naman Shaw (Girish, Kasturi)

    Apparently, the actor was instrumental in getting his wife the role of Tulsi in 'Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'

    After months of speculation over who would replace Smriti Z Iraani as Tulsi in Balaji's 'Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi bahu Thi' (Star Plus), actor Gautami Gadgil, wife of actor Ram Kapoor, has finally bagged the role.

    It may be mentioned that there were two other strong contenders for this role—actors Padmini Kolhapure and Poonam Dhillon. Both of them, who also happen to be good friends, were keen to essay the epic character. The two also happen to be more experienced than Gautami.

    However, Poonam and Padmini were unaware of this decision taken by Balaji Telefilms and apparently weren't informed that they had been ruled out to play Tulsi in place of Gautami.

    When contacted Poonam said, "It's news to me that Balaji has finally chosen Gautami for the role. I was unaware of this." She adds, "I never refused the show. I was given CDs of the various episodes of the serial to learn more about the character as I hadn't seen much of it. We did have two to three meetings to talk about the various aspects of the role but nothing concrete was discussed."

    Though Padmini was not available for comments, a source revealed, "Padmini was keen to do the role. But we heard that Gautami bagged the role because her husband Ram (part of Ektaa Kapoor's hit show 'Kasamh Se', Zee) lobbied for her. We have also heard that the public vote was just a gimmick."

    When contacted Gautami explained her stance, "I don't know on what basis they have selected me. Poonam and Padmini are definitely more experienced than I am. But I think that I too will be able to do justice to the character." Dismissing allegations of her husband Ram lobbying for her, she said, "This is the weirdest thing we have heard. Ektaa is the master and nobody can influence her."

    Hubby gives new Tulsi thumbs-up!



    Ram Kapoor is thrilled wife Gautami has replaced Smriti Iraani as
    TV's most popular character, Tulsi


    ROSHNI K OLIVERA Times News Network



    Gautami Kapoor is excited about her return to TV. She'll be entering
    Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi as Tulsi (Well, we still believe the
    real Tulsi, Smriti Iraani, will be back in a few months after which
    they'll declare Gautami is her friend). But there's somebody equally
    excited about Gautami's return — her husband Ram Kapoor, aka Jai
    Walia of Kasamh Se, who's hot among women these days, not to forget
    producer Ekta Kapoor's declaration on Karan Johar's show recently.
    Gautami and Ram met on the sets of Ghar Ek Mandir. They tied the
    knot in 2003 after which Gautami took a break from acting. So how
    did Ram react when she told him she wanted to get back to TV? "I was
    all for it. I just said your comeback has to be strong. A few roles
    came her way in the past which were okay. But I told her to hold on.
    Sometimes she agreed, at times she got frustrated."

    When Kyunki... was offered to Gautami, Ram felt it was a perfect
    comeback. It may be a much-older character, but that's no problem,
    he says. "I know TV really well. For good or for bad, characters
    that are offered to me, Gautami or others in our bracket, who've
    spent a few years and established ourselves strongly, are much older
    than our actual age.

    I'm playing Jai Walia, a character much older than my age. But look
    where he's taken me!" he smiles, adding, "Besides, acting is about
    being somebody else, not yourself."

    Clearly the actor doesn't mind his wife sporting grey strands. "I
    sport them too... in the show!" he says. Playing Tulsi, after Smriti
    Iraani being associated with it for seven years, is no mean feat.
    Gautami obviously is apprehensive. "She is nervous and
    understandably so. This is one of the biggest things to have
    happened on Indian television and there'll obviously be hype and
    talk. There'll be negativity, too. It will be bombblasted. After
    seven years of watching somebody if someone else comes in, there
    will be criticism. Even if Shabana Azmi was to do this role, it
    would be the same. I told Gautami, enjoy yourself, have a blast,
    give it your best and leave the rest.

    " What about the age-old cliche
    that it's better for couples not to be working together? "My life is
    hectic on my set and hers will be on her set. It depends from couple
    to couple. If you are happy from within, everything falls into
    place. We are on a high right now, careerwise things are great. On
    the home front things couldn't have been better with our baby." So
    would he like to work with Gautami in the future? Sure. We work
    fantastically together."

    Bare-faced truths

    Roshni Chopra is shooting without make-up in Kasamh Se. The actress recently underwent an eye-surgery to get rid of a cyst under her eyelid

    Roshni Chopra
    Roshni Chopra aka Piya of Kasamh Se is shooting without make-up these days. Reason? The actress had to undergo an eye surgery recently to get rid of a cyst that had formed under her eyelid. Interestingly, the surgery was done by her co-star Ram Kapoor's sister-in-law.

    An unwanted cyst under her eyelid was giving a lot of grief to Roshni and the actress was in pain for quite some time. Apparently, the cyst was an after-effect of the loads of eye make-up that Roshni normally applies on her eyes and face while shooting.

    Says Roshni, "It was really disturbing as I could not shoot properly because of the constant pain.
    Ram Kapoor
    It was Ram who came forward and suggested that I visit his sister-in law, who is an eye surgeon at Hiranandani Hospital. I am absolutely fine now after the surgery. It's only that I have been asked to manage without make-up for some time."

    But Roshni is finding it really difficult to shoot without make-up. She says, "Maintaining continuity is an issue in a daily soap, but I can't help it at the moment."

    Congratulations Bani: Prachi Desai gets a first class

    Prachi Desai, aka Bani Walia of Kasamh Se, can now have a stress free trip in Turkey as HSC results are out and she has secured a first class with a percentage of 61.51. The whole cast of Kasamh Se are heading to Turkey for their shoot tonight and Prachi is making sure she looks her best but getting prepped up in the salon.

    Prachi's mother, Amita Desai, says proudly, "Prachi got a first class. She and I were expecting the same. Now that we have seen the results on the internet she is all set to go to Turkey."

    Amita states that Prachi is adamant in continuing with her studies:
    "Prachi is very keen to complete her graduation. She has decided to take Psychology in her first year as she has scored the highest marks in that subject, 80 percent. She will take admissions in one of the Mumbai colleges."

    While psychology was her highest scoring paper, economics is what brought down the actresses' percentage:
    "Her economics paper was very tough. It was also very lengthy so that explains Prachi's low percentage in the subject. But even so, in the end Prachi is grateful to all her teachers and the production house for supporting during her exams."

    While Prachi leaves for Turkey later tonight, her mother will go to Pune to collect her mark sheet.

    Prachi's marks:
    English-51
    Geography-63
    Sociology- 75
    Psychology-80
    Economics-46
    I.T. – 54
    Total- 369.

    Short, cleavage showing dresses might look great if you have the right figure, but it is also important to wear the proper innerwears and sport the correct posture. Recently, TV star Roshni Chopra was seen wearing a black number with white inner garments sneaking out, in a chat show.

    According to the experts, it is not cool to wear inner wears that do not complement your clothes. "Inner wears should be aesthetically worn and it must complement your garment. Otherwise it looks tacky and at times even cheap," says fashion designer Jyoti Jain. A wide range of innerwears is available in the market and you can select one according to the clothes you are wearing. "If you are wearing a strapless dress, go for a strapless bra. Also nowadays halter bras are available, so if the garment is showing off your back you can wear one of those too," Jyoti adds.

    It is important to go for expensive and good inner wears. "Invest in a good pair, rather than going for five cheap ones. Bras with adjustable straps are available, so select one according to the outfit you are wearing," says Jyoti.

    If you are well endowed experts suggest to go for transparent straps for better support. Jyoti adds that these are thread like straps available in the market that are especially suited for those with busty figures. Also while sporting a tight skirt or a trouser, Jyoti advises the wear of g-strings instead of the regular inner wears. "This doesn't show the curve of the inner garment and therefore doesn't look vulgar," Jyoti says.

    Inner wears are supposed to be worn beneath your outfits, but if you have to show it off at all, do so in a manner that it doesn't appear tacky. "In general there should be a colour coordination between your garments and your innerwear. But say you are wearing a chicken dress and you are sporting a hot pink or green wear beneath, wear a belt or bags or shoe of same colour so that it doesn't look vulgar but rather become a style statement," Jyoti says

    Gautami warms up the sets of Kyunki

    Gautami has been shooting for Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi for more than a week now and her perkiness has brightened up the atmosphere on the sets. Unlike the very private and professional Smriti Irani, the new Tulsi, Gautami, interacts with everyone from the unit. The whole unit is now benefiting from Gautami's positive attitude and they say they can actually feel the positive vibes on the sets.

    According to a unit source, the two Tulsis are poles apart. "Both Smriti and Gautami are very professional artists but the only common thing between them is their professionalism. They are completely different; both on screen and off screen.

    Smriti would hardly interact with anyone on the sets. She is an excellent actor but she is very private person. She does not like getting involved with every person."

    Playing the role of Tulsi, Gautami is working with the same staff that handled Smriti Irani on the sets of Kyunki.

    "We have our own make artist, hair stylist and dress men so naturally Gautami is working with same people. She always looks into small things like her sarees for the day, her hairstyle and her make up. Smriti would never do that."

    Gautami is putting her heart and soul into playing Tulsi:

    "Gautami is involved with everything on the sets. She travels from town and does half her make up in the car itself. Therefore, within 15 minutes she readies herself for the shot. Gautami is a very co-operative person. After every shot she always checks with our creative people as to whether it is okay or not."

    Presently on Kyunki the whole Viraani family is buttering up Tulsi (Gautami) in an attempt to make her sign property papers which every individual will get a share from. Tulsi, who is unaware of this and confused as to whether her family will accept her with her new face, feels happy with her family's behavior.
