get away with my vamp image"-

The show has an interesting line up of
stars which includes Asif Sheikh, Gaurav
Gera, Sonia Kapoor and Shubhavi. Other than
these known faces Rajesh Balani and Ada
who are from the advertising background
will also be seen on the show.
Sab creative head Chaaru says, " It
doesn't come under the category of normal
comedy shows. Ishq Ki Ghanti revolves
around adult humour, has double meanings
but of course is presented in a subtle manner."
She continues, "It's one of its kind,
till date none of the shows have been on
these lines."
On being asked about the shows acceptance
by the Indian audience, she explains, "The
audience will identify with the characters
of the show. It's not only about adult humour,
but it's also a family drama at the same
time too."

"I
sign on a comedy show again!"-
Gaurav Gera

Priya Mishra, programming head, Sab, confirms
that a sitcom is in the pipeline. "Ishq
Ki Ghanti is the working title for the
show. It will be on air from end of July,"
clarifies Mishra.
Gaurav Gera, who will be seen playing one
of the leads on the show says, " Well,
I sign a comdey show again! The show is
very daring, so either it will set a new
trend or ....."
Shubhavi who will play Rajesh Balani's
wife is very excited about the project,
as it will be a breather from her vampish
look. "I play a religious woman on
the show, you can't call me dumb, but I
am too much into spirituality," states
the actor.

"I
play a strict punjabi woman, yet glamorous!"-
Sonia Kapoor
|
This will be the first series for Sonia
Kapoor after Remix crossed its finish
line. "Well, yes this is the first
show in hand after Remix. I play
the character of a glamorous Punjabi woman,
other than that I am very strict with rules
and discipline." She continues, "Asif
Sheikh plays my henpecked husband, and it's
a great combination - I am not strict in
its literal sense, I would call it being
strict in a funny manner!"
This is great news for TV viewers who are
hungry for some 'grown up stuff.' Sitcoms
as a genre is hithertho unexplored on television
and if the success of sex comedies on the
big screen is something to go by, then the
makers of Ishq...need not fret!
