Not just married couples

Shweta Tiwari with Ronit Roy
Last year's hottest show Nach Baliye will return in it's second season — Nach Baliye 2 – later this year.

According to an insider, Star One was having trouble finding ten new celeb pairs and was forced to consider another interesting option – having on-screen jodis compete for the coveted trophy and cash prize.

An actor on the basis of anonymity told HiTLIST, "I have heard that they are inviting on-screen jodis this year." He also trashed reports of Siddharth Basu producing the show.

Shweta and Manav

There is already a list of probable candidates drawn in the industry amongst which are names like Gauri Pradhan – Hiten Tejwani, Shweta Kawaatra – Manav Gohil, Bakhtyaar Iraani - Tanaaz Lal, Arjunn Punj – Gurdeep Kohli and Hiten Paintal and Kishwar Merchant and others.

Shweta Kawatraa is thrilled to know she's on the list, "I would love to do Nach Baliye 2.

Last year we couldn't due to date issues. Hopefully it will work this year." However the channel heads are tight-lipped. "It's too early to comment on Nach Baliye as nothing is decided as yet", said creative head for Star Shailja Kejriwal.

Rohit: It will be fun

Our source in Star One explains the new strategy, "We were having a tough time finding ten new, popular and young married couples. That's when the idea of screen couples came up. It's all being fine tuned now. Inviting on-screen couples is just one of the options that we are looking at."

Last year's contestant Rohit Roy comments on the change, "It will be interesting to see reel life couples as opposed to real life jodis.

The audiences who love Bajaj and Prerna will have fun." Most popular pairs on tele are not on talking terms with their co-stars. That could also be a hindrance.

Archana: No Magic

Archana Puran Singh has a different point of view. "I am not too sure if the reel life couples will be able to recreate magic. Even for me and Parmeet it wasn't easy to portray the reality between us on screen. I personally am excited and looking forward to the new season."

Manish Goyal, last year's winner feels, "I think it would be very difficult for a couple paired on-screen to devote time to Nach Baliye and their daily show. Not only will it strenuous to co-ordinate both the shoots, but not all onscreen couples get along well. For instance we know that Prerna and Bajaj will not be ready to be paried opposite each other. So if that's an option then it definitely will require double the efforts."

Manish's game plan

Manish's recommendations forthe second innings he says, "I conveyed some options to the channel. It would be interesting to have someone from the public join us. Last time, I had people asking me if the tears and the drama they saw on screen were real. It was hard convincing them that those were real emotions. If some one from the viewers join us, then the credibility factor will increase."

Goyal's second unique proposal is to pair one male choreographer with a female celebrity and vice versa. I think it might work."

B'day buddies;Anita

The two not only share a working relationship, but are also the best of friends. So when Ekta Kapoor decided to host Anita's birthday bash for her, it didn't come as a surprise.

Ekta recently sent messages to her close friends inviting them for Anita's 25th birthday celebration at her new house on April 15. Guests are instructed to wear something with a dash of gold.

However, we thought it would be silver since it looks more like a silver jubilee moment, than a gold. Nevertheless, it will be a rocking affair for sure.

Hiten Tejwani 7.05%

Marriages of the main leads are infinite times.


Almost all the girls in the main lead have so many children yet they look so slim.


There is n't a single husband in her serial who has not had only 1 lover in his life.


In seconds, Dead = ALIVE and Alive = DEAD.


There isn't a single episode in which the main girl in the story does not cry.


Women in Ekta Kapoor serials always dressed in designer gowns/ salwaar suits/ sarees with big and dangling earrings and the apt hair colour


Abhay in "kkusum" has been maarried at least 5 times or 6 ? oh gosh i dun think abhay needs a pandit at his nxt wedding...he cud recite the mantras himself wid his xperience


ppl r always gettin engaged ..nvr married... tht2 wid tusshar kappor's movie or ekta's recent attempt to make a hindi movie's songs playin in the lavish bollywood style sets (the songs are nice though)


They are always having parties.. and in every party .. something happens.. like a fight.. some hungama.


Every Ekta serial starts off very interestingly .. with a bang.. wow.. but ends up like the same old story .. for example, Kaisa Yeh Pyar Hai was different but for those who have watched shows like Kahin To Hoga or KUTUMB can switch off there TV's now.. history gonna repeat ... kripa will marry angad to teach him a lesson.. tht's wht kasshish and gauri did

Every female villain in Ekta's serial is dressed up so lavishly and has a son who is almost her age.


There is always a lost child who is found and lost and found again and lost ..and ...

It's a relaxing timepass to see every1 in her serial living in huuugeee mansions


The dialogues are very convincing. they make a strong impact on us with echos all over and the same background music.

Her title tracks are really addictive and seems to be only sung by one singer --> Priya Bhattacharya .. her voice is good ya .. but deep.. most of the time doesnt suits the heroine's voice.


If Male or the female lead is accused something wrong and wants to tell it to others he will never get tht chance to say it out .. "Meri baat to suno.." and "Mujhe kucch nahin sunna hain .."

Return from death is a must.... Bhoot part 2 and how can we forget plastic surgery ?


I wonder how clever the doctors are in Life Care Hospital.. they gives the good news of pregnancy by just touching on the lady's stomache without any tests done...


Life care hospital will do surgery and change it to someone else face if someone goes there after an accident..



Life care hospital can never give DNA reports correctly.. they are always confused


The Best thing abt K Soaps is that , we dont need to spare time for all her shows.. we can watch just one show and get to know what happens in all her shows... coz all shows wud be the same ...


Though the soaps dont lead anywhere.. she takes very good looking handsome hunks and very pretty girls for her shows... i dont know why they take up those shows .. Oh Yes i got it... Fame is everything and Ekta can give fame to anyone and everyone if she wants


Baa is immortal. She defies normal human longevity.

Who are Tulsi's actual children Has Ekta finally made out Shobha to be some adopted child or no? becos that seems next on the cards. It appears that Balaji heroines can never keep their children safe at birth. Anyone and everyone can just take them anytime.

Tanya is still pregnant like the ever pregnant Mehak of KTH who was pregnant for 17 months?. these girls just dont want to deliver their babies. They want to defy the wonderfully brilliant Hindi film dialougue " Maine tumhe nau mahine apne kok mein pala hai " ..... for these girls the dialougues will be " Tum mere kok mein hi pale aur bade ho gaye. kabhi bahar ki duniya hi nahi dekhi, kyunki script writer tumhare baare mein bhool gaye"

In Kahin Toh Hoga, the theme of the show was, there is someone made for every one on this earth!!. This is a case of excesses. Everyone is made for everyone. Sujal is made for Kashish, Charu and Archita. Rishi is made for Mehak and Mouli and all other girls in the vicintiy. Charu is made for Akshat and Tusshar. Kashish is for Piyush and Sujal and Tusshar and Angad..... and hopefully, the list should end there.

Adultery is most common in the shows. Every father, be it OM or Mihir or Chetan Garewal, who will win the best pati in one years "Star Parivaar Awards" will turn out to be a bigamist the next year. Not a single hero is spared of this adultery.

Miscarriages happen at the drop of a coin. Deliveries of long pregnancies might not happen, but miscarriages will definitely happen, especially if it is the lead heroine in question. .

KKusum, less said the better. Will Abhay Kapoor please tell us, how many times was he actually married and when and to whom all and who, He considers to be his wife?

Will Lovers ever meet in "K"ekta world. Will Akshat ever realise his love... or with passing times, he will just change his love

In all Ekta Kapoor shows, there is only one Hospital --> The LIFECARE hospital

happens to the lead female or male characters..there is always the trademark song for every serial In KTH, it's Thoda sa pyar hua tha.. thoda hai baaki... In Kesar, Bepanha pyar hai aaja.. In KYPH, Zindagi mein koi kabhi aaye na rabba and now in Kammal, Oh raahi oh raahi, In Kasamh se, Meri Duniya hai tujhme kahin ..


Ekta Kapoor serials are largely popular due to the actors and actresses in the serials. Their popularity is wow.There are loads of good looking ppl and some very good actors too. Ekta can make anyone a star.These telly actors are even giving film stars a run for their money as far as talent and fan-following are concerned, are the MAJOR factor to K-successs


I wonder how many times the supreme court and the hospital has been visited in ekta kapoor serials.. 10 times ? 20 times? i guess even more..


37.Another thing is the way Ekta advertises her shows. She spends so much money on promoting her shows. And so, more people know about them.


Some usually watch the Monday and Friday episodes as they have the main thing the episodes in between frm Tue to Thu are just dragging what hpnd on Monday.


According to the TRP rates throught India, 95% of the People watch Ekta kapoor shows. And 72% of the indians living abroad, US etc.. watch them too.


There is always suspense in Ekta Kapoor shows esp on Friday episodes. She purposely ends her shows at a point where you just have to see the following episode on monday. It becomes addictive.


But there is suspense only in the first few episodes....and then we watch it...and then it becomes an overdose... ...and then...she makes them interesting agian....n the same court scene rona dhona .. but we still watch it


Ekta was the first one to introduce "drama with glycerine"

Anyone's face which has gone thru plastic sugery.....forget face , their entire physique changes.

ex. in kkussum, mansi was soo fat and after her plastic cut and paste she is changed to shilpa who has a well toned body and not only that her height is also different and her voice too.


Good comic relief to watch the ppl cry for anything and nowhere in the world u can see a man crying more than here


believe it or not but 65% of the guys watch Ekta kapoor soaps


Ekta got shows which consist of every part of india like marathi, sindhi, gujarati, bengali, punjabi and for ppl ranging frm middle class (remember Anjali's and Kkusum's backgrounds?) to the rich..(evry1 is rich in her shows)


One of the main reasons why Ekta shows are soo popular is becoz of the Indian audience themselves. Kyunki was celebrating I think 1000 episodes (if I am not wrong) and they were asking audience if they should end this show and reply via sms. 93% according to the stats replied "No, the show should go on".


Also, when you go shopping and come across a shop, you are bound to hear the shop keeper say this is the jewellery/dress which KOMOLIKA is wearing or PRENA is wearing or Nandini wore or Kasshish got married it... wht hpnd to priety rani and ash?


In one point or the other, all the female leads in her shows are definitely accused of something wrong they havent done. And then they promise to take revenge.. etc ..


Each character has its unique dress code and even jewellry although it seems stupid to dress up everyday to perfection.. even at night when we are asleep.


Although Ekta kapoor's serials can totally seem nonsensical but Ekta has a knack of picking the best performers and the best couples. She makes sure they know how to act and look really good. Again and again this has been proved by thousands and thousands awards where in such categories winner is always Balaji Ekta Production.

Ekta knows the perfect way to package and "sell" her serial with beautiful backgrounds/ sets/ title tracks/ costumes. This is what attracts the audience.

In kTH kashish n kanan not have to learn their dialogues again n again b'coz kanan always say "charu ki ye halat kashish dii k waja se huvi hai, kashish di ager app charu se pyaar karti to aisa na karti , kashish says: "kanan tum ghalat soch rahi hoo.... kanan interepts ghalat to mein pehle thi, kashish says lakin kanan, sonu to, kanana says nahi dee muje kuch nahi sunna and then she leaves, this happens almost daily in KTH.

And the key thing is tht now u can understand where ur wife/daughters/mother/girlfriend has come from when she is being completely illogical and unreasonable. Its an Ekta thing-

Although we all complain but still we wait for Kaisa Yeh Pyar Hai at 8 and Kahin To Hoga at 11 * Kavyanjali at 9 and even repeat telecasts

do any one know do ejaz khan and natasha r boyfriend n grilfriend 😃 where do u guyz find the infromation plz tell me i also like to have a chat with ejaz n natasha plzzzzzzz guyz tell me the sit for chatting n find the infromation bye (me new member)i am nepali gurl from hk can u tell me 😳

Anita's Gplden Birthday!😊

Anita's golden birthday
By: Tusshar Joshi and Sandipan Dalal
April 17, 2006

Anita Birthday girl Anita (Anjali of Kavyanjali), who turned 25 looked ravishing in an ensemble she picked up from London. "I didn't want to buy anything new, since I recently shopped tons of new clothes when I was in UK." Not only was her outfit the talk of the party, her new slim and trim avtaar too had other actors wonder if Anita's on a diet regimen. Shabbir Ahluwalia Jassi ka funda Even though the dress code was to have a dash of gold, not everyone followed the instructions. Jassi of K Street Pali Hill was lucky to sport a golden top, which she picked up a day before the party. "I didn't even know about the code, but as soon as I heard it, I was thrilled as I had a golden top ready with me." Breaking the ice It was a pleasant surprise to see Kasautii Zindagii Kay's Cezanne Khan make an appearance with his girl friend Shubha Verma. The usually recluse actor was seen warming up to his co-stars and having a good time. Shubha too was seen chatting up with her friends and having a good time on the dance floor. Neelam Mehra and Saakshi Tanwar Baal baal dekho Shabbir Ahluwalia, fondly called 'Shabbs' by his close friends was in a jolly good mood. For a change he wasn't hiding his long tresses under a hair band and had left them open. He was spotted giving Anita company on the dance floor and was soon joined by his other colleagues. Dressed to kill Urvashi Dholakia was her flamboyant self as she came dressed in a stylish black ensemble. Not only was she in her element with her witty one-liners and jokes, but she also looked like she was having a good time. We wonder if this has to do anything with the special some one in her life. Jeetendra Sunita Menon Urvashi Dholakia Rakshanda Khan and Riva Bubber Vikas Sethi with his wife Papa kehte hai... Ashwini Kalsekar, Jasvir Kaur, Nisha Sareen and Chetan Hansraj Chetan Hansraj can't get over admiring his newborn baby. We got an exclusive sneak peek into Chetan's phone that had some cutesy pictures of his son Ethen. The proud father adds, "Ethen has started making noises and identifying people. He even raises eyebrows while responding to us in his childlike way. I can't wait for him to grow up." Bappa moraya Ronit Roy is a devout Ganpati follower. The actor sported a chunky gold Ganpati locket at the do. When quizzed about it he says, "You may call it as my way of following the dress code. But the fact remains that the lord has been kind to me." Surveen Chawla, Karan Patel, Gauri, Yash Tonk, Gauri Pradhan and Hiten Tejwani Pics: Rane Ashish While making an exit from the venue he was approached by an aged lady, who kept chanting, "Prerna ko saath nahi laye." Knowing the real-life brawl he had engaged in with co-star Shweta Tiwari it definitely will be hard to spot them together. Sugar daddy Iqbal Khan is a fitness freak. He's known to carry dumb bells and bench press on his sets to work out in between the shots. At the do the actor gave the oily dinner a miss and settled for hot gulab jamuns. He says, "I cannot stuff myself with so much food. It's great to finish the day with gulab jamuns. It ensures sweet dreams we presume.

Kavyanjali's one-year leap
By: Vickey Lalwani
April 18, 2006
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------


Anita and Eijaz Khan
Starting this Thursday, Ekta Kapoor's pet project, Kavyanjali, is set for a one-year leap. The show will also have a new creative team.

Says Sandiip Sikcand, the new creative on the show, "Kavya (Eijaz Khan) is dead and will not come back. No reincarnations, no plastic surgery.

We will now show Anjali (Anita) as a strong, independent woman. We are getting close to reality. Don't women go single due to the unpredictability of life?"

Moving on

Nivedita Basu of Balaji explains why the show is leaping only a year ahead.

"We wanted to avoid the display of rona-dhona. Once we started the track of Anjali weeping over Kavya's death, we wouldn't have been able to pull it out quickly. So, in Wednesday's episode, Anjali will declare that she will take care of the business and her kid and not cry.

She will wipe off her tears and move on. From Thursday, you will see that the family has moved on."

Nitya shattered

Will all the characters have erased Kavya out from their memory?

"Definitely not. Anjali will certainly remember him, but only at times, and we will use flashback scenes for that." The only character who will not be able to recover from Kavya's death is his mother Nitya, played by Amrita Singh.

"Amrita will be in a daze even after one year. She would not have recovered from the shock. She will be virtually numb. There is a big transformation happening in her character.

She will feel very guilty that she could not make up with her son before he died. She will not be able to rest, because she is shocked that Kavya could be so nice to her, despite knowing that she was responsible for the mess in his life."

What happens to Shaurya (Iqbal Khan)? Is there a romantic development between Anjali and Shaurya in the fast-forward version?

Says Sikcand, "Shaurya will very much be around. Anjali and he will become thick friends. But we haven't yet thought about the love angle." Adds Nivedita, "Shaurya will help Anjali put the business in place."

What else happens in the forward version? "Arav (Abhir Goswami) will
turn out to be Shaurya's brother. The two of them have been in the serial even now, but they have not come aamne-samne yet," reveals Nivedita.
