They say she's too stiff to be a garrulous anchor Neha Bamb was commissioned to anchor a recently launched afternoon show, Gharelu Nuskhe. Apparently, the channel is not very happy with her performance. We've heard she will soon be replaced by 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 are 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 this development in the show, but if they decide to do so, I can't do much about it. For me, the show is an experiment of sorts. I already have my schedules fixed for the show''. However, the producer, Sanjay Virmani, preferred to remain 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. Ultimately, the channel has to be 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. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Entertainment/TV_Buzz/Neh a_Bamb_may_lose_her_contract/articleshow/23 |
