Bitter quarrel on the sets of Pratigya

Bitter quarrel on the sets of Pratigya

Piyush aka Aman loses his temper on the set of Pratigya...

Arguments and tiff on the sets of a daily soap is a usual scene, but what if the argument becomes aggressive and out of order. A similar situation was confronted on the sets of Star Plus' Pratigya, when Piyush Sahdev aka Aman outburst taking up an issue.

According to our source "Piyush recently had a serious argument with the Director on the show, Mr. Rana regarding a scene that was supposed to be enacted by him. The argument went on to become a terrible verbal fight which finally led Piyush to walk out of the sets, wherein a senior actor had to step in to calm down the situation. The senior actor had to advice Piyush to control his temper, especially on the sets and later on the shoot resumed once the tense situation was under control"

However, when probed Piyush, he denied of any such encounter on the sets.

We think Piyush had taken the tagline 'Man Ki Awaz' and his on screen character as the advocate a bit too seriously !!!

Sunayana Fozdar enters Pratigya as Aman's girl friend..


Aman Mathur aka Piyush Sahdev is all set to tie the knot with Arushi Saxena in Star Plus' Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya. However, Aman will come under the scanner as his past life gets opened up before Pratigya (Pooja Gor). Revelations from his past will leave Arushi shattered which will put a question mark over the marriage. Apparently, Aman has a girlfriend essayed by Sunayana Fozdar who was last seen in Raja Ki Ayegi Baraat and Rehna Hai Teri Palkon ki Chaaon Mein. Pratigya will spot Aman and the girl together, and this will raise doubts in her mind.

Informs our source, "Aman has been hiding this past from the Saxenas. He has a girlfriend and nobody knows about it. But Pratigya will come to know of this, and Aman will be exposed in front of everyone. This will be the next highpoint in the show. Aman's girl friend will be played by Sunaina. Her entry might lead to Aman's exit from Arushi's life thereby shattering the girl forever".

Sunayana Fozdar was unavailable for comment.

Is Aman Mathur married?

In the upcoming episodes of Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya, Aman will send the family into a tizzy which will be a major twist in the story.

Aarushi and her family will face the truth about Amans affair as the plot thickens and the other woman in Aman's life will be revealed. This role will be portrayed by actress Deeya Chopra.

We spoke to the mysterious girl, Deeya Chopra about her role in the show and Aman's life and here's what she said, "I am not playing a negative character. I am not the second girl in Amans life, but a very mature and understanding person. My track will see a high point in the show. My story will make the audience sympathize with me unlike what is perceived. I am hoping that I will do justice to my role."

A starplus.in source narrates, Aarushi has blind faith in Aman until Pratigya sees Aman with this unknown girl at a restaurant and calls up Aarushi and that's where the truth unfolds. This encounter will mark Deeya's entry on the show. Aarushi finds it hard to believe the truth and breaks up with Aman. No one knows that Aman is already married and this will be a major shock to Aarushi and the family.

Deeya plays a bold, mature, traditional and simple girl and her character has been carved very nicely, and will provide for some major drama element in the future.

Whats the mystery behind this unknown girl in Amans life? Will Aarushi-Aman eventually get a married? Don't forget to watch some more major twist in Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya every Monday to Friday at 10.30 pm only on STAR Plus.

"Being a Punjabi from Rajasthan enacting a UP boy on screen was not easy" — Arhann Behl

He may have started of as a goon from the town of Allahabad owing to his character from Mann Ki Awaaz ….Pratigya, but Arhann Behl aka Krishna has come a long way carving a long list of fans for himself. Within a year he has proved that its not always chocolaty looks that makes an actor popular but the way a character is adopted and potrayed. Tellycafe.com caught with the actor to discuss his journey on Television. Here are a few excerpts..

Q. How have you moved from being Arhaan to Krishna?

Ans. Arhaan in real life is completely opposite of what Krishna is. Personally I am shy and introvert. I am a person who likes to listen to people around and then take decisions. On the contrary Krishna is absolutely opposite. He is very open and an extrovert. He never listens to anyone but himself. He is the king of his own mind. So yes it was very difficult for me to move into the character of Krishna.

Q. What did you want to become as a child?

Ans. I always wanted to become an actor as a child. When I was in school I participated in dramatics, English plays and theater. As a homework I use to come back home and conceptualize my roles in the various plays. For hours I practiced with my friends so that I could act better.

Q. Did your parents support you with your career plans.

Ans. Oh no,not at all. My family is full of doctors. My dad himself is a doctor and wanted me also to be a doctor. Infact to please him I even gave medical entrance exams. But my heart was never there so I came to Mumbai to fulfill my dreams.

Q. How did you get the role of Krishna?

Ans. I came to Mumbai three years back. Actually I wanted to be act in movies and not in serials. I waited for the right opportunity until I gave my first audition. Luckily i didn't have to give many auditions and in my first audition itself I was selected for the role of Krishna. This role was really challenging for me to play because I am a Punjabi and to enact a boy from UP with all the accent was really difficult for me.

Q. What preparations did you do to get in the shoes of Krishna?

Ans. It was really a very big task for me. I took special workshops to get the accent right. Along with the team I travelled to Allahabad to meet the people there and understand the way they think and lead their daily lives. You may be surprised at this but I actually made graphs to analyze the behavior of Krishna and adapt it in my style. I worked on very small things also like the way he eats, sleeps, body language, wears clothes etc. I have really worked hard to give the look Krishna carries today.

Q. Who is your role model?

Ans. Actually I don't have any role model. I believe every person has his own style and personality. Nobody can grow by being somebody else. I also have my own approach towards acting as a profession and I wish to keep growing how much ever I can.
Krishna

Krishna

Q. How do you rate yourself as an actor?

Ans. Hahahaha ( laughs). This is for my critics to decide. I always think that an actor always has a room to improve. There is no limit to cinematic ability. After performing each shot I feel I could have done better than this. All ic an say is I am improving myself with each episode being shot.

Q. So have you grown as an actor?

Ans. Yes definitely , if you see my first few episodes then I have grown as an actor for sure. I have become more comfortable to the camera. For the first time in my life I had faced camera when I shot the first episode of Pratigya for Star Plus. I was not aware of the technical details earlier. But with time I have learnt many technicalities behind a camera and I am trying to incorporate all my learnings in my acting.

Q. Pratigya is a woman centric show and also the name of the show gives more importance to the female lead and not you. Don't you feel sidelined sometimes?

Ans. No I don't feel that. Infact Krishna has a equally important role in the show. If Krishna doent show his bad side then how will the good side of Pratigya be highlighted. So I feel both the characters support each other in a balanced way. And for the name I would suggest that all tele serials should be based on females names only as it's the lady luck that brings laurels to the show.

Q. Are you participating in Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa?

Ans. No I am not. I was approached by them. But I refused due to shortage of time. As it is we are shooting almost 18 to 20 hours everyday and if I had taken that offer I would not do justice to any of my serials.

Q. How is your experience with co-actors.

Ans. It has been really great. We all have become like a family. Everybody is very loving and caring. I share a good rapport with everyone but especially with Sajjan Singh my on screen father. Anupam Uncle is my best buddy on the sets. I get to learn lot of good things from him.

Q. What is your final goal?

Ans. As I told you earlier I came to Mumbai to act in movies. So if a good opportunity comes in my way to act in movies then I will definitely take that up.

Q. A message to your Audience.

Ans. I love my fans and I would like to thank them from my heart for accepting and loving me so much. It really feels good when your efforts get paid. I would request them to keep watching the show and love us as lot of new exciting turns are going to be there on the show.

arhaan behll's interview by rabia saleem

by ARHAAN IS THE BEST on Sunday, November 28, 2010 at 8:34pm

He's purr…fectionist in reel & real life. Whether it's an interview, his serial or a certain look for some show. Arhaan Behll insists on getting its absolutely right. Today, the bad boy is on the sets of his serial Pratigya, waiting for his take. As soon as he gets behind to shoot, I ask:

Q: 1. Who is Arhaan Behll?

A: I'm a Punjabi guy from Ajmer, Rajasthan. I passed out my 12th from here & than did my B.com from Delhi. After completing my graduation I came to Mumbai. I did my acting course. I also did theater, wanted to polish myself. Pratigya was my first audition; it was going from past 2months. Finally, the search ended & I became part of it.

Q: 2. Who all are there in your family?

A: I've my parents who are in Ajmer and two elder sisters who are happily married in Delhi. Being the youngest in the family am the most pampered one.

Q: 3 Did you always aspire to become an actor?

A: More than academics, there was always an inclination towards my creative side, as I always participated in numerous school plays & walked the ramp.

Q: 4 Did your family supported you?

A: Though my family wanted me to become a doctor, since most of my family members are doctors as well. I couldn't even qualify the medical entrance examination. However, I knew acting was my passion & I wanted to pursue my career in this field.

Q:5 What would you have been if not an actor?

A: Guitarist. I have been playing guitar since school.

Q:6 How close is Krishna to Arhaan?

A: Krishna & Arhaan are different. Since they come from different context & socialization. Unlike Krishna, I (Arhaan) respect women a lot & consider life incomplete without them. However, Krishna character cannot be put into black & white because it lies between the two extremes & in real life most of us also fall in shades of grey. Therefore, it was a challenging character & I decided to play the part even though I was never interested in television.

Q7: Are you the "ANGRY YOUNG MAN" of the small Screen?

A: (Laughs) actually am an introvert & try to maintain my calm in all situations. I prefer to listen than to talk unnecessarily. However, anger is also one an emotion that is found in everybody. I tend to get angry at times as well.

Q: 8 Are you a media shy? How often do you socialize?

A: Its not that I don't like to speak with media but I'm a very quite person. But that shouldn't be understood as High-headness. It is just that I prefer to focus on my work, than talking about it.

I'm not a very party person & I prefer to stay at home after my shoot. I go out only when it is unavoidable & am forced.

Q:9 How is your sense of fashion different from that of Krishna? Do you consider Krishna to be a trend-setter?

A: Considering Krishna background & life style, he follows fashion as he understands it. He doesn't follow anybody which can be also noticed from his sense of styling which is different from his family members in the serial. In reality, I tend to experiment with my clothes & hairstyle. I wear everything denims, boots, sleeveless jackets etc…

Q: 10 Are you wearing a wig in the serial?

A: (laughs) Nononono… I don't understand why do people think am wearing a wig. They are my natural hair.

Q: 11 What is the best compliment ever received?

A: All compliments are very close to me. Though I keep getting compliments about my eyes, my hair etc. However, the best is when my fans tell me that they watch my show b'coz of me (Krishna).

Q12: Are you a fitness freak?

A: I use to have 6pac's but to make my character more realistic I had to put on some weight & sacrifice my 6 Pac's. But soon I'll start working out soon.

Q13: How do you handle the fan following you get on numerous social network websites?

A: I hardly log on to the net. However, I'm aware of the love & affection that my fans are showering me with. Due to lack of time, it is very difficult for me to respond to their messages but I would like to thank all my fans for their love & support.

Q:14 What is your favorite pastime?

A: I hardly get free time but whenever I do I prefer to sleep.

Q15: Krishna is himself a romantic actor. Is Arhaan also like this?

A: Whenever I get my script, I think about how close that is to Arhaan's reality. However, I still go for it as Krishna is not Arhaan. For instance, there was a scene in Pratigya where I' as made to wear a T-shirt which had her pic & I love you written on it. In reality I would never even think of doing it & I' as even reluctant to do it on screen. But when I did it my audience appreciated it… (Laughs)

Q 16: You have everything going for you. A great career, stardom, recognition. What next you want in you life?

A: Can't say anything now. I'm enjoying my work a lot & can't think of doing anything else. Only 1year has passed & this show is No.1. So I want to work harder & will try to maintain its position… Insallah.

Q 17: Where do you see yourself after next 10 years?

A: It's difficult to say since I live in d present. However, I would like to see Arhaan behll as a successful actor and businessman.

Q 18 Have you ever been to Jammu?

A: Yeah! I visited Jammu as a kid & I've fond memories of that place. It's beautiful & the people are too good as well. I would love to visit again in future & seek blessing from Mata Vaishno Devi.

Q19: Message for our readers.

A: I would like to thank all my fans for taking out the time & watching my show & reading my articles. Its b'coz of them that the show is doing soo well & I'll continue to seek the same response. Love you all….

THNXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX A LOT RABIA SALEEM :)

Thakurain to quit Pratigya?

Asmita Sharma who plays Thakurain, Krishna's daunting and fearless mother is planning to quit the top rated show Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya.

The actress who was earlier doing two shows - chose to quit Balika Vadhu after her marriage. She was not able to devote much time to her family which prompted her to bid adios to one of the two shows. The actress now wants to quit the only show she is working on as she wants to go on a long break which will last for a couple of years. She has already informed the production house of her decision and is awaiting their reply.

Informs the actress, "Yes, I have informed the production house that I want to quit the show as I want to go on a long break. I have been ignoring my family and it's high time I spend some quality time with my husband. I got married when I was busy with two shows - Balika Vadhu and Pratigya. I had quit Balika then and now I am planning to leave Pratigya. My contract ends in December and I am waiting for the production house's response on this."

Isn't it a brave decision to quit one of the top rated shows on TV? "Well this is an ongoing temptation. If I take this into account, I would never be able to take a break. I will be off television for atleast a couple of years now", adds the talented actress.

Producer Pearl Grey didn't revert to our calls and text messages. Both Pratigya and Krishna remained unaware about this development. Said Pratigya, "I don't wish to comment on this as this is strictly between her and the production house. She is a brilliant actress and a great co-actor."

Krishna plans a surprise bash for Pratigya

Fans of Krishna and Pratigya will be happy to know that they can expect to see some special moments between the couple in the upcoming episodes.

Sources reveal "Krishna will plan a surprise for Pratigya on her birthday by buying a lot of gifts for her. He tries his best to make her feel special" Our source adds " It is only later that Pratigya finds out that Krishna earned the money by helping a goon. Pratigya gets upset after learning this and explains to Krishna that he should mend his ways".

Creative head of Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya Shadaan confirms "Krishna's track is going to be very interesting this week. He is determined to earn money to please Pratigya but feels that he is too great to take up an ordinary job. He does earn money but Pratigya will be shocked when she realizes how he has earned it".

Krishna reveals "I want to have a big party for Pratigya and plan to gift her a car. When I ask bauji for money he refuses to give it to me. I get very angry and stomp out of the house. My friends suggest that I should give Pratigya flowers and I follow their suggestion. After I return home Pratigya reminds me that I had made big promises before leaving the house and says that I should learn to keep promises". Krishna adds "After that I do some illegal work of forcing someone to vacate a house to earn money. Pratigya finds out about this and both of us having a huge argument. However the good thing is that I have now decided to look for a white collar job but the problem is that I am uneducated".

Pratigya aka Pooja Gor says "Krishna has planned a huge celebration for me on my birthday and will be giving me a surprsie gift. I am very happy and its really sweet of him to do all this. However I am just hoping that I do not get into any problem because of his actions. Everyone knows that his family hates me and do not spare any opportunity to create trouble for me".

Shadaan quips "This week will also focus on Adarsh and Komal. Adarsh is depressed because he is not giving his family monetary support, so he will take up a job. Aarushi still feels that Aman was right and Pratigya is wrong so she will continue to harass Pratigya".

So will Krishna find a good job? Will Aarushi continue to create problems for Pratigya once again?

Don't forget to catch all the action in Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya every Monday to Friday at 10.30 pm only on STAR Plus.

Aarushi learns the truth about Aman, realises her mistake

STAR Plus' prime time show Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya will witness some important turning point in which there would be some emotional scene between the two sisters - Pratigya and Aarushi when she realises her mistake of not believing Pratigya.

STAR Plus source tell us that, "We have recently shot a scene in which Aarushi finds Aman with the same lady which Pratigya had brought during the her wedding. This gives her a shock. She repents her actions and now wants to go back to her parents house."

Further our source tells that, "Pratigya as the elder sister will forgive her and she will take her back to the Saxena's house. After this ,she won't be the same bubbly Aarushi and will become very serious in her life."'

We spoke to Aarushi aka Awantika Hundal, "Yes, very soon I will come to know the truth of Aman and I would realize my mistake of not believing in Pratigya. I want to go back to my own house as this this marriage is illegal. Pratigya would help me escape the Thakur home. Initially, my parents won't accept me but later on they will also forgive me. I know that my future would be in dark as Sajjan Singh and Shakti Singh won't tolerate this humiliation

Further about the track change she told us that, "I am happy as now I will get again the same love and support from the audiences which I didn't get after my change of character. But now there would be change in her behaviour.

This revelation will come by this week while apart from this the audience would see that Komal will go to Sajjan Singh's place to stay for a while. Adarsh will come to Thakur's place and he won't recognize Aarushi. Don't forget to watch Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya every Monday to Friday at 10.30 pm only on STAR Plus.

Pratigya and Maan Singh Khurana
Although they have been raised in different ways, they both cannot tolerate any type of injustice on their loved ones. They speak, seek and believe in standing up for what is right rather than what is easy. Both Pratigya and Maan have great fan following and it would great to see them together.
