Someone rightly said that if you want to be happy all life, then make your best friend your partner. And looks like actors Rajesh Khattar and Vandana Sajnani Khattar, who were each other's best buddies for five years have taken the adage seriously . In a freewheeling chat with LT, the newlyweda shared with us some happy moments of their lives, their love-hate relationship for each other and much more... Our first meet... Together: (laugh) It was Himesh Reshammiya who made the two of us meet for the first time and he is the one who is responsible for the disaster that happened two months back – Our marriage! V: I personally never approved of Rajesh before I met him. I considered him a bad boy of the industry. What attracted you two to each |

Shooting for a daily show can get stressful, and who would know it better than Aastha Choudhary, the leading lady of ?Babu Ka Aangan?? Well, based on sources on the sets, Aastha was not feeling well for a few days now, but the actress had to report for her shoots as she is the protagonist on the show, and is part of all the gripping scenes on the show.
Despite her bad health, Aastha continued with the shooting, and guess she reached her threshold and collapsed on the sets; she was immediately rushed to the hospital.
Aastha was diagnosed with Malaria; the doctors have asked her to take it easy for a couple of days as the fever is quite severe and she had to spend 3 days at the facility. Once Aastha was discharged from the hospital, she had to report on the sets the very next day as the shooting was stalled and the Producer Ratna Shah was under intense pressure from the channel.
So, Aastha after a short break, headed straight to her ?Babul Ka Aangan?.
link: http://www.bollywoodblog.com/category/TV/Aastha-Choudhary-collapses-on-Babul-ka-Aangan-sets-and-is-rushed-to-the-hospital/After Rahil Azam's exit from the show producer Ratna Sinha will be introducing an interesting twist to Babul Ka Aangann. In order that the show gets more eyeballs the producer will also be introducing a parallel lead. The location of the set too is being changed from Rajashthan to Panvel.
Talking of the new changes is producer Ratna Sinha. "We are changing the location of the sets as the story line demands the same. Besides there is a new entrant in the show too," she informs.
Talking about the changing story track she explains, "There is a haveli and a raaz which is related to Ranawat family and Aastha too. Slowly the track will change and the secrets will be unravelled. There is a part of the haveli where nobody can go after 10 in the night. It is said that whoever goes in there never returns."
But why has the location been shifted to Panvel? "We will be now shooting in Panvel as we want to be near Mumbai. The decision was taken after Aastha's ill-health," she adds.
So who is the new entrant? "Abhinav Shukla who will be essaying animportant role is the parallel lead. He was in Mumbai for a few days but then suddenly disappeared. Nobody knows why. Now he is staying in the Ranawat haveli with his uncle."
"Abhinav knows that this haveli is not safe for her and that's the reason he comes to her rescue. Why he is doing that? What is the relation between the two? Well for that you have to watch the show," she adds further.
Abhinav Shukla has been a model for AXE Effect and was last seen on SAB TV's Jersey No.10 as Arjun. This will be his second show as a parallel lead.

freedom means to our tellystars... |
|
As we proudly head towards the 61st anniversary of our Indian Independence, we @ Tellywatch wish each and everyone 'A Happy Independence'. And on this occasion, we caught up with our glamazons and dream weavers from the small screen share their message for Independence Day… passionately about freedom It is something we take for granted It is a sense of being liberated and not appreciating it. Freedom is peace for me. It is knowing that when I go to bed every night, the world isn't going to change drastically the next day. On our Independence Day, I salute our freedom fighters and make it a point to salute our flag. It is a day when there is a sense of pride that flows through you and makes you proud of being an Indian. their lives. Chetan Hansraj…Freedom is the right to live life without any restriction. And this Independence Day, I will attend the flag hoisting that we have in our society. Paras Tomar…Being free without having to feel conscious about it and not worrying about anything is what freedom means to me. When in college, there were lot of activities to celebrate Independence Day but once you start working, most of the time is dedicated for work. This Independence, I just want to relax at home. Anita Hassanandan...To me freedom is having choices and exercising them responsibly. I have been invited to a school function for Independence Day and I am really happy to be a part of it |

While Chaudhury chose to remain tightlipped about the unfolding events, sources close to the production team revealed that in the serial, Aastha has been kidnapped by Payel (ex-flame of Swyam and Aastha's look-alike) and is taking revenge on him. So how difficult is it to pay a double role and that too, portraying completely different characters? "It is very difficult. It has been almost eight months that I am working throughout the day -- no less than 15 hours day. However, since the feedback has been so positive I do not mind. I am also trying to put in my best and am enjoying my work thoroughly," Chaudhury says. "Our unit has a very good mix of young and old. On one hand you have seniors like Rameshari, Vijay Kashyap and Raja Bundela, and on the other you find fresh faces like Siddharth Shukla, Itisree Singh and myself. Actors like Rahil Azam who has been in the industry for some time is also there. So there is a lot of fun at work. My on-screen sasu ma Navni Parihar is just like my mother and pampers me no end. I guess all of these clubbed together makes working in this serial such a nice experience," Chaudhury adds. Itisree Singh (her on-screen sister) and Chaudhury have become such good friends that they even hang out in between shoots. "Whenever we have breaks, Itisree and I hang out," says the pretty actress who is all set to buy a new car. "This will be first car and needless to say I am excited. However, I a not going in for a big car since I do not know how to drive," Chaudhury says. Recently the pretty actress has been offered a slot along with Siddharth Shukla in Sony's new reality show Kabhie Kabhie Yaar Kabhie Kabhie Pyaar. However, since none of them have an off-screen partner with them, they had to back out of the show. Asked whom she would like to be paired up with on Indian television and Chaudhury says, "Iqbal Khan -- no doubt about it. I am a crazy fan of his and I don't think there is any hotter star than him. Today he is the only star who can act in films as a hero! This has led to some embarrassing moments as well!" Apparently one day Iqbal was shooting in the next set where Chaudhury was shooting. "The director of my show knew Iqbal very well and I asked him if he could introduce me to Iqbal. After introducing me the director openly told Iqbal about my crush. I was so embarrassed," she adds. So would she be interested in films? "I am not interested in commercial ventures. If I get a sensible role in a movie, I will definitely do that." |
What's up with the lead character in Babul Ka Aangan Choote Na? Those of you following the serial must be wondering about the fate of the lead female protagonist Aastha Ranawat (Aastha Chaudhury), whose character has taken a 360 degree turn in the serial by suddenly ditching Shubh Ranawat (Siddharth Shukla) and marrying his elder brother Swyam Ranawat (Rahil Azam).
