Additi put under the scanner by Ekta

Additi Gupta aka Heer Maan, who is the latest addition to Ekta's list of newcomers, has been put under observation by the soap queen.




On Ekta's insistence, she was taken to a well-known dentist to beautify her smile. Confirms the actress, "Yes, I have had two sittings so far. Actually my teeth are crowded and they overlap each other so I had to get that corrected. It is basically to acquire a beautiful smile."

Additi has also been placed under the strict guidance of a dietician so that she knocks off the extra kilos. Additi, who is a foodie, is now on a strict diet. She says, "I have been advised by the dietician not to have rice, burgers and soft drinks. I start my day with juices and am allowed only two chapattis with each meal. My meal consists of two rotis, dal and sabzi. But I am not complaining as it is for my benefit."

She adds, "I was required to run in the fields for shooting the promo of the serial and this helped me beat off four kilos in 20 days which is quite good."

There is also a buzz that Additi goes to Siddhivinayak temple with her guide Ekta every Tuesday. About it, she informs us, "I went with Ekta to Siddhivinayak last Tuesday for the first time. I believe that we will be going this Tuesday also. I have heard that this temple is very pious and prayers get fulfilled so let's see. We want to have God's blessings with us."

Ekta Kapoor's is launching her new serial Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil 3rd March.


The time slot of the serial will be 8:30 p.m prime-time , thus replacing the oldie, Kasautii Zindagii Kay. It is hoped that the show becomes an amazing hit.

The name of the leading lady of the serial is Aditi Gupta. But since Ekta is fond of numerology fixture and is very gullible about it, it is understood that she made a bit change on the lady's name, she simply added another D in Aditi to make it more powerful.

So wait and watch for another capacious serial from Balaji.
