Too stiff for words?

Neha Bamb was commissioned to anchor a recently launched afternoon show, Gharelu Nuskhey on Star Plus.

Apparently the channel is not very happy with her performance. We've heard she will soon be replaced with Gurdeep Kohli or Maninee De. The show is already on air and Neha has shot for some episodes that will last a month.

Says a source from the production house, "Neha is very stiff and not up to the mark as an anchor. Besides, her diction is far from perfect. The channel and the production house is seriously thinking of replacing her soon. The channel is very keen on Gurdeep as she has been their favourite."

Neha, who is clueless about this development, says, "I did not like myself in the initial episodes as I was a bit uncomfortable doing the show. It's not easy to talk to people without a script. It's an anchor-based show and I have never done that kind of show before. I haven't heard about me being replaced in the show but if they decide to do so I can't do much about it. I have got my schedules fixed for the show, so far. This show is an experiment for me."

However, the producer, Sanjay Virmani, Multimedia Productions preferred to be non-committal. He said, "It's for the viewers to decide if our anchor is up to the mark or not. Finally the programming officials in the channel will decide whether they want her or someone else. The channel has to be ultimately happy with the product."

Gharelu Nuskhe is Neha's first show with Star Plus. She became popular as Kripa in Sony TV's Kaisa Yeh Pyaar Hai and currently she's playing the lead in Maayka on Zee TV.

they must have auditioned her before the show. They can't decide to pull her out after just 2 episodes. BTW, no one would watch a gharelu show here, we watch it just for Neha.
