Preeti Amin and Karan Pantaky, the lead pair of Jhoome Jiya Re, are forced to go out on coffee-dates to improve their on-screen chemistry Back to Section Stories Posted On Wednesday, December 26, 2007

Kavita Shyam Looks like the lead pair of Jhoome Jiya Re do not look sizzling enough on-screen. Preeti Amin aka Jia and Karan Pantaky aka Apoorva, have been issued strict instructions by the producer and the channel to work on their chemistry. They have been asked to for out on coffee-dates as many times as possible. A still from Jhoome Jiya Re While Karan is extremely shy and introverted, Preeti is bubbly and outgoing. The actors need to have some serious romantic vibes flowing between them since they have to shoot a lot of mushy dance numbers together. The duo has been ritually visiting coffee joints to spend plenty of time together to get to know each other better. Says Karan, "We have been told to spend some quality time together so that we have a better on-screen chemistry. It will help us to get more comfortable with each other. In our acting school also, we are taught to stare into each other's eyes or close our eyes and feel a person's face so that we reach a level of comfort. Preeti and I go out whenever we get some time. I think it is helping our chemistry. I am not an extrovert and take a while to open up. These coffee-dates have certainly put us at ease with each other." Preeti confirms and says, "We were told to go out as often as we can so that we get to know each other really well. Jhoome Jiya Re is a danced-based show and we are required to do a lot of rehearsals, readings etc. Karan is a little withdrawn and is not comfortable with the dancing as yet. Since we are romantically linked in the serial, we need to achieve a level of comfort with each other. The salsa steps which we will do, need to exude the right amount of sizzle on-screen." Talking about their coffee missions, she says, "The channel and the producer literally forced us to go out on coffee-dates before we start shooting." What if the pair actually falls for each other over hot cups of coffee? Karan laughs, "I really haven't thought on those lines." He quickly adds, "It's unlikely that we'll fall for each other because I am already seeing someone for the past eight years."
