Shilpa doesn't want to work in K-camp

Shilpa Shinde, of Maayka fame, doesn't like being embroiled in controversies and is keen to clarify them.

The latest one being that she backed out of Siddarth Tewary's reality TV show Saas vs Bahu at the last minute. The production house in turn, lashed out at her and called her unprofessional.

Shilpa says, 'I was never keen on taking it up, but I didn't know how to say the same to the director. I never said yes, instead, I asked them to let me think about it.' Then why was the producer of the show, taken aback by her comments? 'It was a misunderstanding at their end. I never made any commitments to them.'

Not exactly a catfight, but there was another showdown that the actress had with co-star Neha Bamb. The fight started when Neha went to collect an award on her behalf and went on to say that it was rude on Shilpa's part not to attend the awards function. 'She said nasty things about me at the function and to top it all, she even lost my trophy. But it was a small issue blown out of proportion. Though we are not exactly close friends, we don't have any animosity as well. We now share a 'hi and bye' relationship. I don't have any friends in the industry and I don't intend to make any. It's just work and back to home routine for me,' she states in a matter-of-fact manner.

The actress will now be seen in Waaris opposite Iqbal Khan. Promising that her character Gayatri will not do the rona-dhona that she does in Maayka, she says, 'In this show I play a bold female, who is not afraid of expressing her thoughts. She manages to convince her husband and respects her in-laws. But she is not at ease with the fact that her father-in-law is an underworld don.' Does she relate to her on-screen character? 'Yes, I do. Her she-will-speak-what's-on-her-mind attitude is similar to mine,' she says.

The actress is also upbeat about working with Smriti Irani and feels that it gives her creative satisfaction. 'I interacted with Smriti once and it was great. She doesn't believe in getting into the nitty-gritties of creative work,' quips Shilpa.

The lady doesn't believe in hiding what's on her mind. While talking about her future plans, she candidly confesses, 'Working with the K-camp is definitely not on my agenda. I'm least interested in working with Balaji. I'm happy with my present production houses.'

And what does she do when she is not facing the camera? 'I cook and must confess that I am rather good at it. I also like painting,' she signs off.

The story, as the name suggests is about the search of the true Waaris to the position created by the senior don.

RUDRA PRATAP SINGH (Ashish Vidyarthi), is a gentleman. He is soft spoken and prefers to listen instead of talking. But only Shankar knows that he uses his silences to gauge the true intentions of the person he is talking to.

YASHODA (Indra Krishnan), wife of Rudra Pratap, is an earth mother, a quiet, docile woman who handles her unusual family with a stoic resignation to her destiny. She advises her daughter-in-law Gayatri to do the same. They have married into this family and that cannot be changed.

SHANKAR (Iqbal Khan), Rudra Prataps'e eldest son, is an obedient, loyal son for whom his father's wish is a command. He is a self effacing and headstrong man, who has no control over his anger.

GAYATRI (Shilpa Shinde), Shankar's wife. She resents the fact that Shankar is a part of the underworld and the fact that her father-in-law has unfairly protected Shourya from all of itl.

and sum more interview bytes thiz time frm patriach of the family. hope u like theze ones too.
Talking point with ashish vidyarthi
The actor will be seen in a Hindi serial after almost a decade
You're returning to Hindi television after a long time with Waaris.
Yes, after 10 years. The last I did was Dastan on Zee TV. What was on all this while?
During Dastan I was working in films. For the last seven years, I've been busy doing films down South. I did very few Hindi films but I also did 72 films outside Hindi. After a long time, the first Hindi film that I signed was Red Alert by Anant Mahadevan. I'm also doing Shout by Wilson with Seema Biswas and Sushant Singh. Why didn't we see you in Hindi projects?
I took a break from Hindi films as all the roles offered were of villains which, after a point, became boring. So I decided on a sabbatical from Hindi films to reinvent myself. Our industry is very image-centered. I strode and carved a niche down south and in other languages. So, why Waaris?
It was the way the makers were pitching it. It isn't a typical story being told. Kamlesh Pandey is associated with the script and its essence really worked for me. I found it interesting. Besides, Smriti Irani, who does out-of-the-box stuff, is producing it. Waaris' promos remind of Sarkar. The buzz goes it's fashioned on Godfather.
The story is of a patriarch who runs an illegal business. The interesting bit is his concern about his two sons and how he's torn between their love. The story will appeal to a lot of people irrespective of their background. And your character?
I play Rudrapratap. Don't expect a typical don. He has immense power, but is at ease with it. It's understated. Now that you're back, will we see you more in Hindi films and serials?
I'm an actor. I never went away. Films came my way and I kept saying no. I was very much in Mumbai. Just as an actor wakes up every morning and goes to Filmistan Studio, I'd to fly to Chennai. I'm a travelling actor. Wherever I get a good role, I do.

What else is on?
Some interesting theatre. I've been doing the Hindi play Daya Shankar Ki Diary with Nadira Babbar. We've been invited to Lahore to stage two plays in November. I've also done Ottayan, a new Tamil play with Kavalam Narayana Pannikkar. I started blogging two years ago. I take pictures wherever I go and paste them on the blog with short paragraphs. We have also instituted an award, Vidyarthi Samman in the memory of my father. It's an acknowledgement of people who don't fall into any category of existing awards. They are a celebration of the unknown Indian who's been contributing to life but never been recognised.

hey frndz sum more frm him
Waaris a story related to the underworld: Ashish Vidyarthi
Ashish Vidyarthi, one of the most talented actors in our country is making a come back on television after 10 long years with Zee's upcoming soap Waaris. Having now done a hell lot of films, the actor had started his career on television with Mahesh Bhatt's Swabhiman.

Let us share some golden moments with this versatile actor and try to learn more about his real self and also his thought on the loss of creativity in current films.

Q. How does it feels to be making a come back on television after ten years?
A. I dont look at it as a come back. I am just doing an interesting role that was offered to me.

Q. What is Waaris the serial all about?
A. Waaris is a story of a family and like all other families even this family thinks that who would inherit the huge property of the family. It's a story related to the underworld.

Q. What character do you play in this serial?
A. My character's name is Rudrapratap. He is a father and except his elder son no one else in his family knows that he his connected with the underworld.

Q. So does the son take up the legacy of his father?
A. Hopefully we all will get to know about it in just 100 to 150 episodes (laughs).

Q. What one thing about the serial you liked most that made you accept it?
A. I was more attracted towards the story of this serial which it is not like the other daily soaps. This serial has emotions, action, family bonding and underworld.

Q How was it working with Bhushan Patel?
A. I have worked with him many times before also and it is always wonderful working with him.

Q. How is Smriti Irani as a producer?
A. I have seen a vision in her. She is not like other producers who come and pay you. I respect her a lot for it and I am really enjoying working under her production. I liked the way she has come out of her legacy and working. Besides doing her normal duty as a producer she also has a lot of creative ideas and thoughts for which I respect her.

Q. Any kind of creative inputs from her side during the shooting of this serial?
A. She (Smriti) is engaged with this serial in many ways. I very often ask her or call her whenever I have to inquire anything about the serial. It's a very open kind of atmosphere.

Q. Don't you think that with so many films being getting produced now-a-days, the creativity have got lost somewhere?
A. When you do your work some of it may not be liked by the audiences, but that doesn't mean you will stop working. This is our work and if you don't like one work of ours then we will try to do it better in our next performance. A regular film maker will always keep trying something new and creative.

Q. What do you think of reality shows?
A. Things which are being liked by people are good, that can be a reality show, a dance show or anything else. As long as it is entertaining people, it is a good thing.

Q. Apart from this serial aren't you doing any films now?
A. I am doing a film called Red Alert with Anant Mahadevan and then there is another film called Shout with Wilson where I play the lead character with Seema Biswas. Besides that I am doing four Tamil films and four Kannada film.

hope you guys like it.
take care.

It looked like sabotage to me!'
You're playing a toughie in your new show Waaris...

Yes but I've always played a tough guy. You can't make me look cute! (laughs) But yes, it is a different kind of role and I'm very excited about playing it.

You will be seen playing a Don's son. Is it a negative character?

No, it's not a negative character. In fact, it's a very positive character. Shankar is a 'good' bad guy. He loves his family, worships his father and is madly in love with his wife. It's just that he is in a business that his family is in. They have all accepted it and are living with it. They do what they do. The only negative trait in him is that he has an anger problem. So if somebody else would probably have an argument, this guy would just pick up a gun and shoot!

Your show revolves around a mafia don who has two sons. Sounds familiar to the film Sarkar...

I think that's a co-incidence. I don't really see a major connect between this show and the film.

Your quit your last show Choona Hai Aasmaan. What was the reason?

I don't think the channel was interested in promoting the show. Even without promoting it, we managed to get in the TRPs and then they changed the time-slot. It looked like sabotage to me! The story track too changed. We didn't stick to the Air Force background. How can you have a show called Choona Hai Aasmaan without the Air Force background? Even at the beginning of the show, people had asked me what I would do if the story track changes and I had told them that I will quit the show.

So what if the story track for Waaris changes, would you stand by your statement?

If I'm promised a Mercedes and I'm given a Maruti, I won't drive it!

Now that reality shows are getting popular, would you like to participate in one?

I think reality shows are good to watch and maybe if I get a chance, I would host it. But I don't think I can participate in one because then there's too much of you in it and I'm not very comfortable with that.

How's married life with wife Sneha going?

Life is good. Sneha's teaching at a pre-nursery school and I'm getting to learn nursery rhymes that I've never heard of before. (smiles)

That might help you in future...

Inshallah!

I did not meet Dawood Ibrahim or Chotta Shakil: Iqbal Khan

July 26th, 2008

Even though actor Iqbal Khan has done some memorable roles on television but the actor has always been termed to be a filmy material. The actor may not have yet got a chance to work in a movie but he surely has now got a filmy character to play in Zee's upcoming serial Waaris. Let's see what this talented actor has to say about his new show and many more.

Q. Can you brief us the story of Waaris?
A. It's a story of a family with some emotions in it, not like any other soap's family where the kitchen politics takes place. Everything revolves around the characters in the family and the backdrop of the family is making money by not the usual but in a different way. It has shades of underworld in it.

Q. What character you play in Waaris?
A. My character's name is Shankar. He is a family man, slightly brash, loves his family, respects his father and believes in taking his father's business ahead.

Q. What one thing about the serial attracted you the most?
A. The whole story idea of the show and also my character which is very interesting and has got a lot of shades.

Q. Did you have to make any kind of special preparation for this role?
A. I did not meet Dawood Ibrahim or Chotta Shakil. There is nothing like that, I am an actor I know how to do my job.

Q. All television serials start with a new concept but after few episodes they all become the same, what is your say on that?
A. I always say this and now also I say that when I was doing Choona Hai Aasmaan, I told the press that if that happens I will quit the show and that's why I left that show. Now also I say the same thing that as long as they remain fixed with the territory of the show I am in it or else I will leave it.

Q. How was it working with Ashish Vidyarthi?
A. Its great working with him. I think he is a great professional and a lovely human being. Whenever we have scenes together we have a lot of fun.

Q. Any kind of tips from him?
A. No we always discuss the scenes together before going for the shot. And in terms of tips I think he believes that an actor should be given freedom to do his work and I too believe in that.

Q. What kind of roles you would like to play?
A. I am an actor and I believe that I can play any character I want.

Q. Any dream role?
A. No dream role. I believe that dream role only happens when you play it and it becomes a success.

Q. Any films in your kitty'
A. No, nothing yet. I am happy doing whatever I am having in my kitty. At the same time, I am looking forward for a nice script to take on films but nothing has come across yet. As of now being a television actor, I am stuck to this project and will think of films only after some months.

some more here sorry could not paste da article due to repeated technical error. do bear wit me.
