The grime behind the glamour

It was abt three Heroins of SAHARA, but I edited and posting just abt kituu: The grime behind the glamour

We tend to see the tele-stars' lives as glamorous. But only a few realise the grunge that lies behind the label, says SANGEETA BAROOAH PISHAROTY after visiting the sets of SaharaOne soaps in Mumbai

While most of the workers are asleep on the sets, we catch the lead actress awake

LISSOM THREESOME Niyati Joshi, Ami Trivedi and Manasi Salve in their reel get-up Feeling more disheartened at the huge divide between the grunge and glamour of the telly-world, we make yet another visit, this time to a studio in MIDC area, where yet another serial of the channel, Kituu Sabb Jaanti Hai is being shot. The scene here is even worse, nowhere near the thrill of television. Since morning, there has been a power cut in that area and so, all the actors, in their reel get-up, are waiting for the return of electricity. While most of the workers are seen sleeping on sofas, chairs and even on the floor, we catch the lead actress, Ami Trivedi awake. "Sorry, it is very hot in my cabin. No power," she says by way of greeting. Having arrived on the sets at 9 in the morning, she is game, along with the others, to grind through the heat till 10 p.m. in the hope of the lights coming back. "When you can't shoot for some other reason, at least you have the comfort of sitting in an air-conditioned room," she says. She wants to do other serials too, but like most tele-actors doing dailies, she has no time to spare. The best thing, though, is that none of them are found complaining. Well, such is the pursuit of popularity!
