Off-screen nobodies!

When Amarr Upadhyay was shown as dead in the popular series 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' four years ago, it created a furore - prominently because the couch potatoes were too much in love with their favourite on-screen character. They wanted him alive!

Circa 2005 and surprisingly, Ronit Roy essays Mihir Virani in the same show, with as much fame. Even more astonishing is that today there are no takers for Upadhyay, proving once again that it is the characters that make celebrities rather than vice-versa.

Agrees Nivedita Basu, deputy creative director, Balaji Telefilms, "The idea of a daily soap is to permeate into the psyche of the viewers and that's why you see characters becoming celebrities more so often."

She cites the obvious example of Mona Singh (of 'Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin' fame). "Clearly, they remember the face, not the name," she says.

This phenomenon isn't new - the epic 'Mahabharat' and 'Ramayan' in the late '80s yielded many such celebrity characters. Most of them gained God-like status. But equally proven is the fact that these actors rarely emerged out of their characters with an identity of their own.

Puneet Issar, better known all his life as Duryodhana from 'Mahabharat', offers an interesting perspective. "It is very easy to get typecast in one image. The only way out of being trapped in a particular image is to keep doing other things simultaneously. Like, I was also doing films around the time 'Mahabharat' was at its peak, which really helped."

Arun Govil from 'Ramayan' feels that television today has a short memory span. "People remembered me as Lord Ram because 'Ramayan' was an epic. More so, it was about Indian culture and a part of our religion. Modern-day television characters are vanished in a year's time. There is no substance and no recall value. Though many serials of the late '80s and early '90s are forgotten, 'Ramayan' is still watched. Ram and Sita will continue to live on - these new guys will not."

OLD ROCKING update by Arti!
It's a treat to watch PRB scenes these days. The chemistry is just
getting better day by day and the comfort levels are very high. It
seems they are real and not reel...they are that good.
And they behave like very typical husband-wife- just wish to be in
prerna's place for like 1 day...ahh..i wish i had a magical wand....

Anyway, here's the update:

The basus(mohini,anu, geetakaki) arrive at Bajaj house. Prerna and
rishu are just relaxing at home. prerna's mom is also present in
bajaj house. The Bajajs welcome the Basus. Rishu says "u should hv
informed us earlier that u ppl are coming, we would made some
preparations for welcoming u..." mohini says "Jamai babu, why so much
formality in case of family members...we wanted to meet u guys, so we
came. " (I have started liking these basus..and will continue to
like them as long as they are nice to their daughter and son-in-law)
Rishu smiles and says "Good u came..."
Mohini expresses wish to conduct prerna's baby shower function at
basu house and the bajajs happily accept the invitation.
Prerna says "i'll make tea for u ppl" and she starts getting up.
Mohini says "nahi beta,u shudnt do any work in such condition"
Rishu says very caringly "u sit right there, i'll make the
arrangements.." and gets up and goes in the kitchen
shouting "birjukaka...birjukaka.."
Now the funny thing is- birju isnt at home. Rishu realises this and
thinks to himself "If I go and tell her that birju isnt at home,
she'll insist on making the tea herself. "
But since Rishu doesnt want prerna to do the work, he decides to make
the tea himself.

So we have the Great Mr. Rishabh Bajaj- who makes and breaks
destinies of other people-now making tea in his kitchen (poor sweetoo-
biwi ke maike walon ke liye kya kya karna padta hain..) This was one
of the cutest and funniest scenes I hv ever seen-
He was so confused...gr8 acting by ronit- and all those comments- he
sees the cooking range and wonders - "4 buttons hain, which one
should i press..." then he puts sugar in the boiling water. Then
again gets confused "i'll put some more shakkar..." so he empties the
entire container ..then he adds lots of tea powder..again directly
from the container.....not using a spoon or anything...and he is
feeling as if he is doing some big task- lolzz that was really
funny...and just when the tea is ready, the sugar container falls
down. bang !!! and rishu is like "oh shit!" and prerna asks from
outside "what happened " and he is like "no..nothing"
finally he takes 4-5 cups and pours tea and puts them in a tray and
brings outside....
everybody-especially prerna is shocked.....prerna says "arre..apne
kyun....birju kahan hain"
Rishu says proudly "pata nahi......but so what....i hv made the tea"
everybody takes the cup and is about to drink when Rishu annouces
proudly "zindagi mein pehli baar chai banayi hain.....drink at ur own
risk" so everybody just pauses....and hesitates to drink...
prerna says looking lovingly at her hubby "alright i'll take the risk
first " she takes the first sip and smiles and says "not bad ! " and
then everybody drinks the tea. Prerna says "I must get used to
drinking tea made by u now" Rishu gets a call from gupta regarding
some contract.
He says "u guys carry on, i hv to go...there is important work"
Prerna is very upset and she says "but we were going to go to the
market later..." Before RB can say anything, anurag says "Let Mr
Bajaj go Prerna, I'll take u to market." RB says "thanks mr basu"
and he leaves.
anurag and prerna are in his car, when anurag sees moloy's killer.
anurag gets out the car and starts running after the killer, leaving
his car(and prerna) in the middle of a busy road. poor prerna,
confused, she gets out of the car..and collides with the car door and
starts feeling severe pain. killer escapes, and anurag returns to his
car and finds prerna in major pain. he takes her to hospital. bajaj
gets call from anu and he rushes to hospital. the basus and prerna's
mom are waiting outside the hospital room when bajaj comes there. (he
was running in the corridor....wow....so sexy he looked.....) he asks
anu what happened and anu tells him everything. doctor comes out and
says "mr bajaj, prerna is fine" he looks up and says a silent prayer
to God. Then he turns to anu and says "mr basu, u did the right
thing....seeing one's father's killer..anybody wud hv done the same
thing...so just forget whatever happened and dont feel guilty...it
wasnt ur fault.." anurag nods. then RB says "excuse me.." n goes
inside.
then a very touching scene of prerna-rishu where he touches her
stomach and then caresses her cheek and their eyes meet....they r
lost in each other's eyes.....and he touches her stomach again and
then she holds his hands and they just hold hands and keep looking in
each other's eyes....wow gr8 chemistry ronit n shweta.....

The next morning, rishu brings juice for prerna. she says "arre aap
ne kyun..." but he insists saying that he likes doing all these
little things for her. Then the talk drifts to the previous day's
incident and he tells her that he was really worried then....but
prerna says "muze aur hamare bacche ko kuch nahi ho sakta kyunki aap
ka pyar hamare saath hain.....ouch !!" Rishu gets worried again
hearing that "ouch" and says "what happened?" prerna smiles and
says "the baby just kicked " :) and she adds "Inhe baahar aane ki
jaldi hain" Rishu says "Inse kahiye ke kuch derr intezaar karein"
choo chweet dialogues those were, i forgot some lines.
Then prerna declares that she is the luckiest wife in the whole world
(yes ma'am, u really are. ) then follows a hug and a hot kiss.

The basus make preparations for the baby shower function. Anurag
misses moloy and talks his photo "Baba, your daughter is very very
happy. today is her baby shower function. I wish u were with us
today...." mohini also misses moloy.

Prerna standing in front of her wardrobe -looking for a saree to wear
to the function. Rishu comes there -he has got a saree for her. He
hugs from behind and says "kya dekh rahi ho?" prerna says "woh
saree.." rishu says "kaun si saree?" and gives her the saree. Then
they exchange some loving looks and he comes closer and says very
naughtily.."I was just thinking.." and she puts her hand on his chest
and pushes him back gently and says "we are getting late for the
function.." and he is like "haaiii..." wow too good acting. then an a
jhumka falls down from prerna's hand and she is about to bend
down...and rishu is all protective and he stops her and says "hey kya
kar rahi ho.." and he bends down and picks it up for her and she has
this expression "my hubby is the best" and then some more lovey dovey
hugs ,glances etc.
Then they have a fight about the child. He wants a daughter just like
her but prerna wants a son. then prerna says "yeh bachha bohot
shararti hoga.." Rishu corrects her saying "hogi" then
the "hoga" "hogi" argument continues for a while finally prerna gives
up and says "fine...we are going to hv a daughter" Rishu is happy :D

While Rishu and Prerna are on top of the world, komolika cooks up an
evil plan to end the bliss that PRB are experiencing.
(I think she is going to kill prem, or kidnap him and raise him as
her own son . that is why there is no mention of prem as a member of
bajaj family post-leap. Then I think Bajaj's other daughter(madhvi's
daughter) will fall in love with prem.)
Smiles,
Arti
