NewsOTW:It’s not our fault

Varun Badola is not a happy guy these days. The actor who plays one of the leads in Star Plus' Aek Chabhi Hai Padoss Mein (yes, it's still on air) claims the channel isn't doing much to promote the weekly soap. He adds that the time-slot (7 to 8 pm) is a "dead slot" despite which Aek Chabhi... has managed to gar- ner TRPs.

Suhasi Goradia also complains that her own family prefers dailies over weeklies. "Why blame the public?" she sighs. Aek Chabhi.. was initially a half-hour bi-weekly. Now it's an hourly weekly which she insists, has cost them viewers. The Sunday morning repeat at 10 am, however, has high viewership. Despite their grouses, the lead couple of this mohalla- based soap are extremely proud that Aek Chabhi… isn't a saas- bahu melodrama. "And we've managed to stick around for a year and a half," smiles Goradia. Badola is currently busy with Jersey No. 10 in which he plays a cricket coach, and a movie, Aaja Gunaah Kar Le.

Thanks Shreya...so they also feel the same and i guess its just unfair that starplus gives them such a slot!!!...and the repeat 10 AM sunday morning....its hardly that great!!!!....

Thanks Ksh...news hot off the press...
Now, how did he forget about Aaja Gunaah Kar Le in his last interview? That makes 4 projects by my count...seems he can only remember 2 at a time!

I'm glad they're talking about this to the press, as they say any publicity is good publicity....

Shreya..why is your new poll post not opening????..
