Clueless:
Pallavi Kulkarni
No comments:
Nikkhil Arya
Aroona Irani's forthcoming weekly show, Mehendi Rang Layegi (to air on Sony from next month) will mark the return of Pallavi Kulkarni (Kehta Hai Dil) to the small screen. Except for a few endorsements, Pallavi had not taken up any assignments for almost a year.

Positive guy

Irani is planning a casting coup. She has asked Pallavi's ex-flame Nikkhil Arya to play a pivotal role in it. Says Arya, "I have been told that I will be the positive guy in Pallavi's life." Will he be comfortable working with Pallavi? "No comments," he replies.

While Pallavi has started shooting, Nikkhil is unsure "I have said yes to Aroonaji, but I am yet to sign" he explains.

Central role

What is Pallavi's role? "I play Vaidehi, the central character, who is from a middle-class family," says the actress. "She is married into a strange family; they treat her badly."

Is she okay with Nikkhil being in the show? "I have no clue if he has been offered any role," claims Pallavi.

Flashback

Pallavi was the second girl in Nikkhil's life. Earlier, he was seeing Gurdeep Kohli. Pallavi and Gurdeep had done Aaj Ki Atit together. Gurdeep introduced Nikkhil to Pallavi. By then, Gurdeep and Nikkhil broke up. Later on, Nikkhil and Pallavi started dating. She wanted marriage. Nikkhil refused as he still had to settle down in his career. The couple then broke up.

Aapka samay samapt hota hai: Mandira bedi
Mandira Bedi is out of Sony's Deal Ya No Deal. Brought in as R Madhavan's replacement in January this year, Bedi will not host the show any more.

The show too is undergoing changes, and will move from a daily to a weekly slot. Bedi has already shot her last episode for the show; but viewers will continue to see her for some time, as the channel has a bank of episodes that will run till April end.

Auditions on

Sony's Anupama Mandloi (vice-president, programming) clarified that it was simply Mandy they were biding adieu to and the show would go on. The channel is looking at new anchors to replace Bedi. Says a source, "Auditions for the anchor began in mid-March."

But why is Bedi, who came in only two-and-a-half months back, being replaced? "Mandira is our main presenter on Extraaa Innings, on Set Max. From June, we will need her for that purpose. We decided that we should not devalue her equity," says Mandloi.(puhleaseeeee.....that woman knows nothing about cricket..she made a FOOL of herself in the 2003 world cup and everyone . both in SA and back in INDIA were freasked out!!!!firstly, this woman knows nothign about cricket(as she actually compared zaheeer's poor form with kaif's good form😕😕😕 and her clothing received alot of flak too...her noodle strap blouses and her over the top wardrobe was not liked by anyone.....why again?????)

Mandy's schedule

Says Mandira, speaking from Goa, for the India-England ODI, "Once Deal Ya No Deal becomes a weekly, it will not be shot in the present style of building and storing a bank of episodes. Unlike now, when the schedules are spaced with long gaps in between, the shooting will be done at short, regular intervals. So, if I am travelling with the cricket team, it will not be possible for me to do the show."

Inside story

Adds a source, "Sony's attempt at improving ratings by changing the anchor from Madhavan to Mandira helped to some extent, but did not meet expectations. This led to another anchor change and the switch from a daily to a weekly format. The start, which is very important in every television show, was wrong. Madhavan did not register with the masses. It wouldn't have been wrong if they had started with Mandira."

Madhavan's exit

R Madhavan felt the show had taken over all his time. Initially, he was told that he would be required for only six days of shooting a month. But, he was pressed to give more time, which affected his other projects.
