If production doe JD is creativity, for Anuj Saxena, it is a gargantuan business opportunity. For him, launching a production house (that has produced the film LIPS) was the natural progression of his plan to develop the group into a business house. "I have blueprint for my company to expand it into a business houe and a business house has interests in diverse fields. So, just as we plan to make inroads into other arenas, I thought why not begin a production house? That seemed a logical decision for the actor in me who has experienced what kind of a field it is."
Besides the advantage of experience in the area of acting, Saxena has a vision.
"I see a great future for the media in the next five years, so it's also a case of 'catch em' young'. As for the financial risk, well that's there in any business and I handle my production house with a clinical approach harnessing all my business acumen, so there's less chance of sufering a loss." Striking a balance between acting and production is all about delegating tasks accroding to this business man turned entertainer. "If you choose the right people and delegate responsibilites to them in a proper manner, it is not difficult to multi-task"
Rucha Gujrati to play the new bhabhi...
|
The head strong and brash Kali of Kkusum, has made an on-screen transition from a spoilt brat to the ideal bahu. Rucha Gulrati's dopcile, typical Indian daughter-in-law, in Star Plus' Bhabhi, where she has taken over the mantle from her mother-in-law and be running the family. The lead character of Star Plus' afternoon soap 'Bhaabhi' will be Suhana (the daughter of Saroj) who will move into her character's new role as Bhabhi. Young and vivacious Rucha Gujrati (Suhana) will bring freshness to the character as she will portray a more pragmatic character contrary to ever-sacrificing Bhabhi. As Chopra parivaar will still find it difficult to come to terms with this fact of life, Rucha will placidly fit into the family. In contrast to her mother, Suhana will be a woman of unique disposition, someone who dares to follow her heart. Much distanced from the typical image of perfect 'bahu' she will defy the beaten path. Wait and watch whether the new 'Bhabhi' will be a deserving upholder of her mother's legacy or will she go against traditions to give in to the lust for life and her heart's desires... On a lighter note, Rucha's been working opposite tellydom's young heroes Anuj Saxena and Manish Goel, but both are in a patriarchal, relation to her character." Kya Karein? That's sad naa? Hope I get to play the heroine opposite such good looking guys in the near future....(laughs)." | |
