SPECIAL SQUAD
The actor who became popular with Special Squad, disappeared from the small screen once the serial was pulled off air. After doing small parts in films like Lakshya and Dhokha, Bhanu is back on the small screen. However, it's not a serial that we are talking about. The actor was seen recently in one of the short films directed by Vikram Bhatt for TV. During his Special Squad days, Bhanu had said that he doesn't see himself in any of the saas-bahu serials and the actor seems to have stood by his decision. But with the saas-bahu serials going off the radar, may be it's time for Bhanu to consider taking up some show again. |
Best foot forward
A participant from the younger brigade of bahus, this actor is making sure that television does not bog down her acting spirit. Manva Naik seen in Teen Bahuraniya and Baa Bahu or baby says she is very particular about choosing a role in daily soaps, "The characters that I am playing in different serials have different shades and I am enjoying it thoroughly."
Besides, she will be shortly seen making her debut in a Marathi flick. And she has all praise for this dance show, "Audience will connect to the show as it is showing the saas bahu relation in a different way. Also the USP of this show is the age group of participants which varies from early 20's to late 50's and even some are in 60's."

Gauri Pradhan and Hiten Tejwani are one of tellywood's most loved celeb couples. They first met for the shoot of a commercial and later on, they were cast together in serials like Kkutumb and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi where their reel romance translated into real-life romance!
It's been two years to their marriage and they can still easily pass off as newly weds. In fact, their chemistry and tuning is very much evident in Nach Balliye 2, which is currently helping them garner public votes!
Anil Merani caught up with Hiten-Gauri for a quick tete-e-tete to find out the secret to their enduring romance!
"Post NB we will surely think about starting a family"
You had a two year long courtship, did you agree to Hiten's proposal easily?
Gauri: No I really made him sweat! He had to go through the entire tried and tested formula of wining, dinning and giving flowers. He also made repeated requests for marriage and finally I had pity on him and said yes (laughs).
Hiten: Yes, it was not an easy ride for me. But imagine if she had consented quickly, there would have been no fun in courting her! I am a traditional guy, who believes that one must keep pursing his love, till she says yes.
Since this is Hiten's second marriage, Gauri were you uncomfortable with that?
Gauri: See it would have been a a problem, if he had not told me. The fact is I am liberal and broad minded. My only fear was about whether my folks would accept him; which after some cajoling, they finally did.
Was there any fear of taking the plunge for the second time?
Hiten: No. See marriage is about compatibility, which Gauri and me share big time.
It has also been two years of marriage. Have you ever thought of starting a family?
Both: See a decision to start a family is not something which can be taken in haste. One needs to take into various factors like career and time. Hence, post NB 2 when we have the time, we will surely give it a serious thought.
"Gauri is a very good cook - Hiten
How important is space for both of you?
Gauri: Very important for me but not for Hiten. He loves to be in the company of people, while I often feel the need to withdraw into my personal corner. But having said that after marriage, I literally had to throw Hiten out of the house to meet his friends. I told him 'please don't ignore them as then you might lose company of friends which you need'.
Who makes the first move to patch up after a miya-biwi ruffle?
Gauri: It's him. Hiten is always the first one to come forward and say sorry. So sweet na?
Hiten: What's wrong in apologizing? Tiffs happen in all marriages. Why let your ego spoil such a beautiful relationship?
Does Hiten cook?
Gauri: Good God, no! I don't want my kitchen to look like a disaster zone. That's one place in our house, where his entry is barred.
Hiten: Yes baba, I admit that I can't cook for nuts. But then at times I do make nice tea and boiled eggs for Gauri early in the morning. It's the thought that counts more than the action (laughs). She's a very good cook and I simply adore the fish curry she makes.
Does Hiten buy you clothes?
Gauri: What, shopping for me! I have to buy for him too! I don't trust his style.
Hiten: See the reason she shops for me is that firstly, I don't have time and secondly, I trust her dressing sense implicitly. As for shopping for her goes, when we go out together, and I spot an outfit, which I think will suit her, we buy it. I don't believe in giving gifts, just for sake of it!
"We would love to go to Sri Lanka or Maldives"
So Gauri, what is the best gift you have given your hubby?
Gauri: My self! What can be so important than me?
One very good quality about your partner.
Gauri: He's very honest and straight forward.
Hiten: She is caring and loving.
One trait of your partner that you can't stand?
Gauri: He simply can't keep his things in the right place. But then it's a guy thing!
Hiten: She should learn to control her temper.
One character played by your partner that you like the most.
Hiten: Gauri in Kutumb
Gauri: Karan in Kyun Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.
Which destination would be your ideal romantic vacation?
Both: Working in daily soaps hardly leaves you with time for yourself. So how do we plan a vacation? But if given a chance, we surely will go for a nice romantic getaway to either Sri Lanka or Maldives. We love isolated beaches.

'Gauri and I keep doing romantic things'
You took a long break from television, what were you upto?
Nothing much really. Have been relaxing and concentrating on my workout. I have also developed an interest for writing! I have started penning down scripts. Maybe some day I would sit in the Director's chair and scream 'Action!'
People know you as Karan Virani for the past 8 years. How do you intend on breaking that image?
It definitely won't be easy but I am experienced with breaking the set moulds and establishing a new character. For example, after Kutumb too, breaking the Pratham image was not easy but I managed to do it.
When do we get to see Gauri and you back on television together?
I cannot really promise anything as of now. We enjoyed entertaining our fans and hopefully will get to do a lot of more good work together. But all that depends on whatever projects come our way.
Which of your characters is the closest to the real Hiten Tejwani?
It will have to be Karan Virani but if you ask me my all time favorite has to be Pratham from Kutumb.
So what did you do on your 5th anniversary?
(laughs) Yes, we definitely did do romantic things for each other on completing 5 years together! All I can say is, that to keep any marriage alive, romance is extremely crucial. So yes, we do a lot of romantic things for one another. But we like to keep it private. Although I must tell you, it doesn't seem like half a decade is up! It feels like we just tied the knot yesterday!
