From It couple to splitsville

September 28, 2005

In the past, Nausheen Ali Sardar and Vikas Kalantri were often seen together at public events
The guessing game is finally over. It's official — Nausheen Ali Sardar and Vikas Kalantri are no longer a couple. For many months, there was speculation about trouble brewing between them, but neither admitted they were heading for a split.

Solo ya pair?

It first became obvious when the pair began to attend filmi dos and parties solo. Though in the past, Nausheen and Vikas have been spotted at public events like film screenings, Nausheen went missing from Vikas's side suddenly.

When quizzed about it in August, Nausheen told HitList, "I live in the present, I don't know about my future with Vikas. I'm taking things as they come."

I respect Vikas

One month later, when we contacted her again, Nausheen tried to evade the subject again, but later opened up, "Yes, Vikas and I have gone our separate ways." But love doesn't die overnight and the actress is obviously hurting.

"There are memories, plus there are strings that attach us to each other. Some things will never change. I respect Vikas a lot. He is a good human being."

So what went wrong? She is hesitant to talk about the differences that led to the split, but said dimply, "It's just that we began to think differently."

Melodic meeting

Sardar met Kalantri four years ago, while doing a music video for singer Nikita. This was soon after she began shooting for Balaji's Kkusum.
Vikas Kalantri comes from an illustrious business family and has acted in Nayee Padosan and Dil Bechara Pyaar Ka Maara.

Narayani Shastri
Nausheen Ali Sardar has won Sony's Paisa Bhari Padega at Hrishikesh, edging out Narayani Shastri, Tasneem Sheikh, Rucha Gujarathi and Sai Deodhar. Narayani came second.

In fact, Narayani reached the winning post before Nausheen, but lost the race because she was carrying less weight on the back than Nausheen. This episode will be aired in January.

Explains the actress, "The weight carried on the back is tantamount to money. If you want to take a short cut, you ought to spend the money, or in other words, shed the weight. The contestant who reaches the winning post with the maximum weight is declared the winner. It is not important whether you finish, first, second, or even last."

The competition involved river rafting, mountain climbing and trekking. "It was a gruelling exercise. Frankly, I never expected to win," says Nausheen.

Reluctant to reveal her prize money, Sardar says participants had to go without food and water during the entire exercise, which lasted nearly nine hours.

"We started at 7 am; they took montage shots to begin with. The real race began from 9 am. The worst part came during the break, when everyone else was having lunch and drinks. It was killing to look at them."

Wearing grey pants and a white ganji, with a yellow jacket, Sardar opened a big lead before the break. "But after the break, my body cooled down. I also developed muscle cramps. I had virtually given up; I was abusing myself for having come there. I even fell down, but the stuntman, Akshay, egged me on."

Sardar returned via Delhi. "I stayed a couple of hours in Delhi, but the return journey from there was a nightmare. My flight was diverted to Ahmedabad because of a technical problem. I had stay overnight at Ahmedabad. My whole body was aching. But I'm not complaining — Paisa Bhaari Padega was worth it
