Sindoor director injured on the sets

The Zee serial Sindoor Tere Naam Ka’s director Debashish got injured recently while shooting for one of the sequences. Back after celebrating the New Years Eve, the unit was busy as usual with the shoot when Sachin Sharma got too involved in the shot that he hit the camera with his hand. The poor camera not only fell down but fell on the director’s hand and the shoot had to be stopped for some time. Well, Sachin too much of involvement is injurious to directors health. Isn’t it?

 
 
 

 

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?
