Why Suresh
Menon felt like an animal! |
|
Suresh Menon is just back
from his yearend holiday - "I
had been to Singapore with my
family and a large group of
our family friends. We were
there for a week and had a whale
of a time, mainly because of
our kids" enthuses the
chilled-out actor.
The best time he had was at
Sentosa Islands and at the zoo,
which his four-year-old son
Shiv who went ga-ga over the
pranks of the animals but Suresh
discovered that he himself was
a spectacle to the other visitors.
While the comedian was happily
clicking away the animals in
the zoo, he suddenly noticed
some visitors capturing him
in their cameras. He laughs
as he says, "I was shooting
the animals in the cage and
I felt like one outside the
cage as they were shooting me."
But his astonishment gave way
to glee when he realized that
they were his fans who had watched
him as Ratan Reimburse and other
characters in The Comedy
Show Ha..Ha..Ha and just
wanted to have his pictures
for posterity.
Meanwhile, after enjoying his
holiday, he is burdened with
a tension - his son's school
admission. So now, he's busy
filling up forms for the best
schools in suburban Mumbai.

| Prolonged
wait for Aroona Irani's doli |
|
Not being deterred with the
debacle of Sony's Vaidehi,
Aroona Irani was already ready
to join the TRP race again with
her new show Doli Saja Ke
for Sahara One. But there is
some disappointment on that
front too.
This family saga was initially
scheduled to go on air on 15th
January which shifted to 22nd
and last heard it's being postponed
to February…..phew! Fingers
are being pointed at the production
house which seems to be facing
some teething issues.
This shillyshally is also testing
the patience of Barkha Bisht
(she plays the protagonist in
Doli)…..who is heavily
banking on this show as post
Pyar Ke Do Naam…this
is her only prime time daily
(ya she does anchor Popkorn
Newz on Zoom, but that's passable!).
We all know the 'V' element
didn't work for Aroona Irani
so will her old 'D' fixation
(Desh Mein Nikla Hoga Chand)
bring good news for this producer-cum-actor?
But for our answers we'll first
have to wait for the day when
her new show finally takes off.

Renuka's
Nach Baliye act!
|
|
Renuka Shahane and Ashutosh
Rana were spotted doing
a jig at a recent do.
This act brings back the
memories of the recently
concluded dance show--
Nach Baliye 2,
where star couples took
part to show their dancing
skills. We wonder why
Renuka and Ashutosh didn't
participate in the show
given their liking for
the art form. Or should
we expect to see them
performing in Nach
Baliye 3 (If and when
it starts). Adds Renuka,
"I would love be
part of such a show if
I am given a chance."
Well, are you listening,
I mean the producer's?

| Shruti
and Anuj's bonding! |
|
Shruti Ulfat and Anuj Saxena's
bonding goes years back when
both nursed Bollywood dreams.
Shruti Ulfat, who gained popularity
as the anchor of Antakshri
on Zee TV, had earlier acted
as Anuj Saxena's heroine in
Sar Aakho Par, a film
produced by Vicveck Vasvani.
The original choice for that
film was Tara Deshpande who
backed out because she bagged
another film Is Raat Ki Subhah
Nahi, which did reasonably
well. Shruti took up Sar Aakho
Par, the film flopped but she
started getting better roles
on television. Similarly, Anuj
too attained fame after he acted
as Abhay Kapoor in Sony's Kkusum.
Some are not just cut out for
Bollywood as it was proved again
when Anuj's Lips with Mausami
Udeshi is still lying in the
cans for want of distributors
while Shruti's second Bollywood
attempt in Gafla went unnoticed.
Hope they have realized, "it
is better to be a big fish in
a small pond than a small one
in an ocean!"
