Small screen love birds rarely get to recreate their sizzling chemistry once their shows wrap up. Hyderabad Times finds out why
Arjun Bijlani and Rati Pandey in "Miley Jab Hum Tum"
The one place where B-Town stars pip our tellywood stars is in the jodi department. While the SRK-Kajol or Akshay-Katrina jodi never gets old, small screen jodis like Ronit Roy-Smriti Irani, Ram Kapoor-Prachi Desai ("Kasamh Se"), Eijaz Khan-Anita Hasanandani ("Kavyanjali"), Iqbal Khan-Neha Bhamb ("Kumkum") et al never get a chance to do an encore.
RONIT ROY AND SMRITI IRANI: Ably stepping into the role of Mihir, Ronit filled the vacuum created by Amarr Upadhyay when he quit "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhie Bahu Thi". His chemistry with Smriti Irani was endearing, making them the most loved 'middleaged' couple on screen.
SHWETA TIWARY AND CEZANNE KHAN:
They started the trend of the eternal love story on the small screen with "Kasautii Zindagi Kay". Rumours flew thick and fast about their alleged romance. A much married Shweta didn't take too kindly to it and their off-screen hatred is almost legendary. Yet, the couple is remembered for their on screen chemistry.
AAMNA SHARIF AND RAJEEV KHANDELWAL: A couple that set the telly screen on fire in "Kahin Toh Hoga", many attribute their sizzling chemistry to the real life love story. When Rajeev quit the show for films, Aamna followed suit. Though the couple moved on to different partners later on, their on screen partnership is still remembered by avid TV buffs.
HUSSAIN KUWAJERWALA AND JUHI PARMAR: "Kumkum" on the afternoon slot was one of the front runners for the channel. Hussain and Juhi made a great pair and won many awards. After the show wrapped up, the afternoon slots were never the same.
ANUJ SAXENA AND NAUSHEEN ALI SARDAR: A debut for both actors, the "Kkusum..." pair complimented each other in the looks and acting department.
HITEN AND GAURI TEJWANI: They
were paired first in "Kutumb' and were roped in to do "Kyunki Saas Bhi kabhie Bahu Thi" to salvage the TRPs. And they did.
DIL MAANGE MORE: While popular demand has brought back Kritika Kamra and Karan Kundra ("Kitani Mohabbat Hai 2") and will now see the return of Avinash Sachdev-Rubina Dalik ("Chhoti Bahu season 2"), of late channels/production houses have been deluged with requests for a screen reunion of Gurmeet C h a u d h a r y - D e b i n a ("Ramayan"), Sharad M a l h o t r a - D iv ya n a Tripathi("Banoo Main Teri Dulhan"), Arjun Bijlani-Rati Pandey ("Miley Jab Hum Tum"), đđKaran Wahi-Shweta Gulati ("Remix") and Karan Singh Grover and Shilpa Anand ("Dill Mill Gayye"). Will the fans get to see more of their reel favourites?
