You take the tantrum stories of the leading actors with a pinch of salt, but when a lesser known actress throws her weight unnecessarily, you do nothing but wonder her guts.

Pratigya's on-screen mother Naina ji ( Monica Singh) has been having the crew of the show hop crazy with her tantrums and unreasonable demands. If sources are anything to go by, then the moment she enters on the sets, Monica demands for fruits and juice. Not to ignore the expletives she hurls if the spot boy fails to pamper her. But a recent incident had come as a jolt to one of the production executives who was ill-treated by the lady following which he had quit the job.

The executive producer had requested the actress to wear another sari for a continuity shot, to which the lady took offence and started hurling abuses at him. She even threatened to quit the show and dialed the producer. The producer pacified an angry Monica and requested her to resume the shoot. The actress then started taking pot-shots at the poor executive who decided to quit the show after things became unbearable.

Apparently, this is the seventh executive producer who has quit the show. If this is a piece of information to you, we take pleasure in informing you about her love life, too. Monica is apparently dating her on-screen son Adarsh ( Ankit Gera) but both refuse to acknowledge. Wonder how he handles Ms. Attitude or if its the son who calls the shots back home.

Arhaan: Krishna's USP is his language
Buzz up!

Kavita Awaasthi

Krishna might have a rough appearance and arrogant attitude, but deep down, he has a heart of gold. And actor Arhaan Behl feels that is the most distinguishing trait of this lovable character. Thrilled to have won the most Stylish Sadasya award at STAR Parivaar Awards, Arhaan talks about his role, why people love him, but doesn't spill the beans about his real love life.

You won the most Stylish Sadasya award at STAR Parivaar awards. How did it feel?
Every award means appreciation and I am glad that I won the Stylish Sadasya award. I couldn't attend STAR Parivaar Awards but when my team mates came back, I asked them all about Macao and the entire experience. They told me it was a lot of fun and masti.

Who is your style icon?
No one in particular. I enjoy wearing clothes that are comfortable and suit me well.


Did you regret not going to STAR Parivaar Awards?
Not really. I had prior commitments as I was shooting for Comedy Ka Maha Muqabala on STAR Plus on 22nd and 23rd Feb. I couldn't go because of that and some other personal work. Last year, I had attended STAR Parivaar awards and it was phenomenal. I won the Hottest Jodi award with Pratigya of course last year.

Krishna is an extremely popular character. What do you think people like most about him?
Krishna is loved for his simplicity- the most I feel. He is loyal, lovable and the trait that stands out in Krishna is that he loves his wife Pratigya a lot. He doesn't hide his love either, in fact he is very transparent about his love for her. He is a very clean hearted person and with him ? what you see is what you get. Such a trait, is very rare in people, so I think Krishna has made a place in the hearts of the audiences.


What do you like most about Krishna?
I love everything about him. I am playing this role and he is projected via me, my body language and acting, so I love Krishna. Krishna is me and I am Krishna [smiles]. I think the USP of Krishna is his language, the way he talks, his pauses, his gestures. After the creatives gave me the brief and story, I knew Krishna would be spectacular. I worked hard on the character and my production team too has been very helpful with suggestions and critique.

What do you think of Pooja Gor aka Pratigya?
She is a talented actress and working with her has been a good experience.


Do you think girls like Pratigya exist in real life?
Well, Pratigya is a perfect woman. She gets 10/10 for everything -be it her nature, her behaviour, her ability to deliver, fulfilling her responsibilities towards her family. She is bang on with all that she does. I don't think any woman can be like her. It would be very difficult to be so proper and correct all the time.

What does television mean to you?
Television means entertainment, good source of fun and a major part of life. I don't know of people who don't watch television today. Some might like news channels, or discovery channel or serials or music but everyone watches television.

The content on television has changed over the years. People go on and on about saas-bahu shows showing such and such things, but they forget that there are certain reality shows that show worse things. I don't want to take names but there are shows wherein a group of girls and boys would behave in a certain way which makes a deep impression on our youth. The teenagers copy the body language, bad attitude, style and way of thinking from such shows. Many youngsters believe and take after a lot that is shown on these shows which is bad for them.

What do you think of talent on television currently?
Being on television is a tough job. Television actors don't have it easy as not only do we work hard shooting 12-20 hours a day, 6-7 times a week depending on the show. We also get scripts and the scenes of an episode only one hour before the shoot. If an episode has to be delivered we have shot for 5-6 lengthy scenes in one day which is very tough.

There have been various stories about your close friendship with Avantika who plays Aarushi in Mann Ke Awaaz... Pratigya. Are you dating her?
No comment. Lots has been written about this, so I don't want to talk about it.

Cobras and snakes were common inhabitants on the sets of Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya but now we hear that the current scene involves a rat race! Pooja Gor, our dear Pratigya, was shocked to return to her make-up room recently from a shot to witness that her lunch was missing and her room was in utter chaos.

We quiz Pooja that what made her decide to do such an unconventional show and she says, "I don't think this concept is unconventional. The theme is realistic. And the show depicts the inner reality of what happens in day to day life. I chose to do this show as I believe in doing something realistic and not work in fictitious themes."

About the rat incident Pooja reveals, "Not only was my lunch gone but I had called for bread which was carried away by the rats and eaten away! What's more my room looked like it had gone through an earthquake!"
We wonder how the actors are able to cope up in such terrible shooting conditions! Eeekss....

Pooja Gor
Pavitra Rishta leads quitting was indeed shocking as the show is doing well. I don't see a reason but perhaps they have yet it was a shock. Also interestingly I love the fact that Sony's Bade Achche Lagte Hain is doing well. It is a lovely story told in an engaging manner and though it is in competition with my show Pratigya, I don't mind appreciating them.
