Bhabhi's Generation Next
   By: Shaheen Parkar
   May 25, 2005


Tilak (Manish Goyal) and Saroj (Dolly Sohi) of the afternoon soap Bhabhi on Star Plus have grown older ? and wiser.

This UTV daily takes a generation leap from its June 2 episode. Both will now be shown married as to someone else with grown-up kids on the verge of marriage.

There is a whole bunch of new faces with several existing characters getting the hack. Here?s a look at who is who post the leap?

TILAK (Manish Goyal)

He is now married to Meenakshi (Paayal Nair), sister of the vitriolic Manju (Shilpa Shinde) and is a business magnate. Says Goyal, ?Initially, I did have reservations about playing the role post the leap. But the producers convinced me to do the role.

Tilak is now more dignified and his body language is restrained. At one end is my strained relationship with my son Vishv (Puneet Sachdev) and the other is my unhappy marriage to Meenakshi.?

Goyal says he took voice classes to achieve a mature baritone. He has also pulled back his mop from his forehead.

AMMU (Dolly Sohi)

Is she Saroj? Or is she her look-alike? Amisha, or Ammu, is married to Vivek Seth (Mahesh Thakur). Vivek had saved her from drowning. In the process he lost his wife so Ammu marries him to look after his two daughters Alpa (Pariva Pranati) and Suhana (Rucha Gujarathi).

Says Sohi, ?As Saroj, I was calm and composed, but Ammu is extremely bubbly and also a forgetful character. I will now be wearing plain saris with printed blouses and hair tied into a neat bun.?

Sohi, who recently married Canada-based Avneet Dhanowa, says, ?I told him that I am already the mother of two grown-up children and he wanted to know if I was going to sport white hair!?

VISHV (Puneet Sachdev)

He is Tilak and Saroj?s son. A spoilt brat, he is the boxing champ in college. He shows no concern for his father but does care for his foster mother Meenakshi.

Says Sachdev, ?He is a very cool character and always has his way. Only when he falls in love does he realise what pain means.?

Sachdev had earlier featured in a few episodes of the Star weekly Saara Akash as Sarfaraz, a Pakistani terrorist. He is also seen as the dhakkan in the Fanta ad featuring Rani Mukerji. ?I came down from Gwalior to model and act. Things are finally in perspective now,? says Sachdev.

SUHANA
(Rucha Gujarathi)


She is the fun-loving, hyperactive younger daughter of Vivek Seth (Mahesh Thakur), and is greatly dependant on her foster mother Ammu and her older sister Alpa. She studies at the same college as Vish (Puneet Sachdev).

Gujarathi, who is seen as Kali in Kkusum, feels this role is in stark contrast to the negative image of Kali. ?It will show me in different light,? she says.

ALPA (Pariva Pranati)

She is the Vivek Seth?s older daughter. An introvert, she teaches at a primary school. Though her sister is unlike her in nature, there is this great bonding between them.

This is Pranati?s television debut; she has done theatre previously with Om Katare of Yatri stage troupe.

SHUBHAM (Mohit Raina)

He is the son of Tilak and Saroj who was given away by Tilak to his flame Roshani (Rupali Ganguly). Roshani blames Tilak for the death of her fianc'aj (Rohit Roy) and later claims the child is dead.

Now, the serial will show Shubham as an architect working with Tilak and both are unaware of the other?s identity. ?I?m from Jammu and have been here looking for a break. It finally happened,? says Raina.

VIVEK SETH
(Mahesh Thakur)


He is the new man in Saroj?s life, now known as Ammu. He plays the doting father to his two daughters and is a complete family-loving man.

How Bhabhi will now be shown

The June 2 episode will show Tilak at a temple remembering Saroj. It is 20 years since Saroj fell off the cliff and went missing. Outside the temple are Vivek Seth with his wife Amisha and their two daughters Alpa and Suhana.

Tilak is shocked to see that Amisha bears a strong resemblance to Saroj! Later, it will be shown that Tilak is married to Meenakshi, Manju?s sister.

After Saroj?s death, the family advises him to marry Meenakshi for the sake of his son Vish. Tilak and Meenakshi?s marriage is not a happy one as Tilak hasn?t been able to forget Saroj. Vishv harbours ill feelings towards his father due to the strained relations between Tilak and Meenakshi.

To add to the drama, Suhana and Vishv study in the same college with a romantic track. While Shubham works in Tilak?s office, unaware that Tilak is his father.

He is the offspring of Tilak and Saroj who was given away to Tilak?s flame Roshani and later assumed dead! Alpa will be shown falling for Shubham.

My wife?s daughter is my daughter-in-law!

Manish Goyal as Tilak in Bhabhi will now have Rucha Gujarathi, who plays Suhana, as his son Vishv?s girlfriend and a prospective daughter-in-law. In Kkusum, Rucha is Manish?s real life wife Poonam ?Mahi? Narula?s screen daughter Kali.

Also, in the Star show Shararat, Poonam plays Radha while her husband in the show is Suraj (Mahesh Thakur). In Bhabhi, Mahesh will play the other man in Manish?s screen wife Saroj?s life

The child like innocence of Dolly 'Saroj' Sohi shines brightly in her incessant laughter and twinkling eyes. Here she talks to Kaajal about how she believes in the Ishtar philosophy of Positivity and her views on the deeper meanings of life.



 

On Spirituality

I believe I relate to spirituality in some kind. There is a definite power at work above us and I believe that we in turn have to work to respect this. Work is spirituality for me.

On Meditation

No, I do not consciously meditate in the conventional sense but I do my pooja religiously and follow the teachings of Guru Govind Ji. I also believe that in the power of gem stones. I have worn a stone that my mom has made me wear and it has suited me. I believe that this stone has played a part in where I am today. It is now a part of my life and I am attached to it. As far as meditation is concerned, I spend my free time sleeping and it's the best form of meditation [Laughs]

On Emotions

Attachment is the root cause of depression and there are times when I do get depressed if I am attached to someone. At such times it is difficult for me to be balance my emotions. If I feel guilt about anything, the best approach is to talk to the person concerned.

Anger is one emotion where you should help me Kaajal, There are times when I feel angry inside but it remains there. I am unable to remove it out of my system and eventually hurt myself in the bargain. I do talk to myself and I think that this self-talk does help to curb the anger. I do not open up and trust people very fast and as I trust you completely you should guide me on this.

We are in the trade wherein we have to emote as per the requirement of the script irrespective of the mood we are in; I pay total attention at my work and control my mind during work. There I am in full control of my mind.

On Forgiveness

I think I hide things in my heart. I can't hurt any one and so I keep my feelings to myself. I can't forgive and I feel irritated by this and I feel I have to learn to forgive better. This trait is connected to anger and you can teach me how to let go.

I can't heal my own traumas without family support and I feel that anyone in trauma should visit people like you who are qualified to guide us and make us come out of it. Our mental peace decides our destinies.

Positivity at work place

I don't back bite or react to negativity. I just ignore people who are negative. I don't get jealous and appreciate others work. Laughter is the best medicine that nature has given us and I use it liberally. [Smiles]

On Today's Women

I do not think of this in the terms of equality but I definitely believe that though women are independent and confident their families still worry more of how the girl will survive in a male dominated work place. Women are emotionally stronger and definitely not weak even if they choose to remain silent.

On Future plans

Marriage and kids will take top priority in the future. I am getting married on 4th March in Canada and will strive to maintain an equilibrium between marriage and my work. I understand that for a healthy marital life Practical and emotional levels have to be well balanced.

Positive Visualization

When I started my career I was less confident. But I truly believe that it is my faith that has brought me here. I dream and visualize that I am successful and I dream what I want. I understand the power of the mind and visualize a lot. I feel that it is the best approach in life.

Advice for Strugglers

When I first arrived, people said lot of bad thing about me. I did not pay much attention to this as I knew my potential and I was positive of myself. Have a strong belief in yourself, do your own, be confident and the Divine will definitely open your way.

Mantra in Life

Be positive, be confident. Kaajal, I think I follow your mantra. "Positive people are indeed successful."

Dolly Sohi is preggers!
   By: Shaheen Parkar

Dolly Sohi
There is some good news from Dolly Sohi, the small screen?s Bhabhi, who relocated to Canada post marriage to software engineer Avneet Dhanowa. The actress is going the family way. Dolly bid adieu to the small screen and Mumbai last year.

Laidback life

Speaking from Victoria, Canada, she says, ?I am pregnant. I am taking it real easy. My health is okay. Anyway, I have been leading an extremely laidback life in Victoria! I spend hours at the supermarkets here. I must have eaten everything possible on the shelves!?

The baby is due in early 2007 and Dolly is looking forward to play mother in real life now. ?As it is the first few months, I have been advised not to travel for a while. But I do intend coming down to Mumbai around September-October.?

Exchanging notes

Though there are avid followers of Indian soaps in Victoria, Dolly says she is not glued to TV. ?We do get certain channels here and people are really hooked to the serials. But I hardly watch television as I am still exploring the sights and smells of Canada. In fact, it is my mother-in-law who watches each and every show!?

Dolly is in touch with some of her co-stars who fill her in on what is happening on the Mumbai front. ?I spoke to Raymon Singh (Sunaina of Bhabhi) the other day and we exchanged notes, so I know what?s happening there.?

Dolly, who wed Victoria-based Avneet in March last year, quit Bhabhi in December. ?Though it?s months since I moved from Mumbai, I still miss my folks, the city and the Bhabhi unit. But then change is a part of life. I am happy  in my new home in Canada.?

About Rucha Gujrati


 

Rucha Gujarathi


I am Rucha Gujarathi


Thinking of  
Well, I am concentrating on driving myself around safely right now. It is my driver's off today and I am on my own

Reading 
I am not too much into reading. I like to leaf through gossip magazines, Filmfare, Femina and so on. No heavy stuff for me
Wearing what

Clothes
 
Considering it is cold these days, I like to keep a jacket handy all the time. Other than that, I like to dress up casually in a pair of jeans and a cute top

Perfume
I love all fragrances by Issey Miyake and Pleasures by Estee Lauder

Watch
I am quite a watch freak and love buying branded watches. I have everything from Gucci to CK to Nine West. I feel that a great watch is the perfect accessory.

Partying next at 
I will head to Escape or Enigma. I am also planning to go out of town for New Year. I haven't decided on the destination yet but I know for sure that it will not be Goa

As told to Shweta

 

 

Rucha Gujrati

Rucha Gujarathi, better known as Kali, a spoilt brat in Kkusum, knows the secret to compatibility. For her, a relationship makes no sense without love, trust and understanding.



A relationship without lust
will not survive
 

Love is very essential for a perfect relationship. If you don't love, you would not trust, you will never be compatible and without this a relationship doesn't make sense. Love is very important because if you are not bonded together then a relationship wouldn't work. You need to be very much comfortable with each other. There are many words attached to the word 'love' like trust, understanding, empathy, attraction. When you love, you have to accept all the emotions attached to it.


A relationship without lust will not survive. You have to be attracted to that person to remain bonded well, so that the relationship keeps moving. I think, lust is as important as love.


Jealousy should be kept out of a relationship. It should always be 'we' and not 'I'. If you are in a relationship for years and still feel jealous, that means you are insecure. Your understanding level has to be high. Otherwise, you'll start feeling jealous even when your partner talks to a friend.

You start getting aggressive in a relationship whenever there is friction. At such times, its best to remain calm and try not to argue. But yes, if the situation gets worse and leads to verbal and physical abuse, then you need to call it off because you cannot let someone treat you badly even if it's your husband or your boyfriend.


It is very essential in a relationship. The other word for love is passion. When you love someone, you are passionate about him. And if you are passionate about someone, then you would go out of your way and do things that you wouldn't otherwise do.

Diwali memories

RAKSHANDA KHAN


? Diwali reminds me of those 20-day holiday in school. We used to have a party and loads of fun in school. As a child, I used to buy new clothes and a lot of crackers and would love bursting them. Ramzan and Diwali are at the same time this year. I would not be celebrating Diwali since Ramzan is around the same time. I would not buy any new clothes, but I would buy lots of diyas. I love gifting people on this occasion, so I will gift ethnic thaalis with flowers and crackers, diyas and mithais.

VIKAS SETHI


? Diwali to me means a lot of fun. I don?t burn crackers though. It?s the time to be with my family. Years ago I hurt my hand once while lighting an anaar, so I?ve been extra careful after that. I would gift a lot of blessings and love to all. I am extremely bad at gifting because it?s difficult for me to choose what to gift.

RIVA BUBBER


? As a kid, I used to love crackers and Diwali parties but now I get irritated with the children in my building bursting crackers.

TASSNIM


? Diwali is a festival of lights and a lot of joy. My mother is a Hindu so I have always celebrated Diwali with her as well as my maternal relatives. I do the Laxmi Puja on the day. I have spent all my Diwalis with my cousins including my only cousin brother. But five years ago I lost my cousin. I miss him a lot as I would fight with him for crackers and he would beat me up. All in all, we had good fun.

IQBAL KHAN


? One Diwali, we were not given a holiday in school. I was in the boarding then. I sneaked out with a few friends and went out. Later I was caught and punished.

Urvashi Dholakia


? Diwali is a completely family celebration time. It?s a festival of lights. My Diwali is always simple. I will begin with a Puja and then burst some crackers. One Diwali that brings a smile to my face is when I was 10 years of age. I had an eye operation done. Inspite of having one eye shut with bandage, I was determined and adamant to go and play with crackers! I love bursting crackers even now. 

RUCHA GUJRATHI


? Diwali is the festival of lights and lots of fun and colours. It is one festival where everybody gets together to meet relatives and friends. It is a festival of joy and happiness. I usually go with my parents to my grandfather?s house in Nasik for Diwali. We spend 3-4 days with dadaji for Diwali. We usually gift each other sweets, mithai or chocolates.


SANGEETA GHOSH


? Diwali to me is the time for celebration; it?s the time for fun and happiness. It?s the time for new clothes, time to make rangolis, light diyas and celebrate. I would love to gift different people different things. Usually my mom takes care of this department. I remember bursting silent crackers; those that do not make much sound. I have burnt my dupatta once so that has made me become more careful.

ROHIT ROY


? Diwali means a lot of revelry, fireworks and breaking my diet. I would make a silent prayer to take care of my family. I don?t shop. Mansi shops for me. Diwali reminds me of the times when I would burst crackers with my dad. Unfortunately, he is no more.

My Character & I
   By: A hitList Correspondent
   September 19, 2006


Rucha Gujrathi
TV?s eternal Bhabhi, Rucha Gujrathi, is facing a dilemma ? to choose between a husband who has betrayed her, or a lover who is her husband?s cousin? Caught at the crossroads, Rucha talks about what makes Suhana, the ultimate Bhabhi

The battle is on between being Bhabhi and Suhana for your character.
That?s an eternal dilemma. As Suhana, she feels that she should do what her heart says, but as the Bhabhi of the family, she has to put everyone else before her. Bhabhi lives for others. She is that quintessential, self-sacrificing woman.

Bhabhi?s husband, Vishwa (Puneet Sachdev) has betrayed her for another woman.
He has gone off the scene to Kanpur. Ever since he got involved with another woman, he left the house. Despite the personal turmoil, Bhabhi continues to live with the family and cares for them.

So in his absence, Bhabhi gets attracted to Nihal (Inderjeet Sundan)?
Nihal is Vishwa?s cousin. He has always been there for Suhana. There is this unspoken bond between them. Gradually, feelings develop between each other. But when the time comes to take a call, there comes another dilemma in Bhabhi?s life.

Yet another dilemma?
Just when Suhana feels that she should go with Nihal, Vishwa re-enters her life. So obviously it is an important decision to make. Nihal is Vishwa?s cousin, so that makes me his bhabhi. They say bhabhi maa samman hoti hai, so obviously I can?t be with Nihal. Even though he is willing to wait for her.

Vishv or Nihal?
Everyone knows whom Bhabhi will be with. She is the epitome of sacrifice, so it has to be Vishv.

In real life would such a scenario exist?
There are many Vishwas and Suhanas and Nihals. But as we are rooted in tradition, you know who Suhana has to accept. It has to be Vishv, he is her hubby after all.
