Be it the shooting of a Hollywood film in Rajasthan, or the debut of some Jaipur youngsters in Bollywood,
or films and TV serials based on Rajasthan hitting the screen, the entertainment quotient of the desert
state will be high in 2009
SHWETA THAKUR Times News Network
In fact, soaps like Balika Vadhu and Saat Phere,with stories set in the backdrop of Rajasthan are also
expected to rule TRPs. Talking about why such serials are such big hits,TV actress Juhi Parmar, who
belongs to Jaipur says, "Everyone is getting back to the roots and since Rajasthan is extremely rich in
tradition it keeps the viewers hooked." And the good news is that the city would also witness Juhi tying the
knot on February 15. So why did she choose the city as her wedding destination? "I want a typical
traditional lavish wedding and Rajasthan is known for them."

Between takes, actors get down to business
Bharati Dubey I TNN |
Mumbai: Here today, gone tomorrow. As soon as the arclights dim, actors often fade away from public
memory. It is a scenario every actor (whether from the big screen or its smaller cousin) dreads. To escape
the insecurity that the profession brings, several have turned to alternate professions even as the going is
good. But while forays by film actors have mostly been in the entertainment world itself, their television
counterparts have ventured wider ?from running dog parlours to salons to boutiques and even renting out
cars and bungalows?to make a living.
Sachin Shroff started trading in steel when he was 19 years old. "It was difficult to manage but my family
supported me. I later got into acting but I maintained both. I strongly feel that the glamour industry offers
good work but it is unpredictable. One needs to have a secure business as a source of income. There are
times when we only shoot for 15 days of the month and it is refreshing to do something else for the rest of
the month.''
