Indian Television

‘Ballika Vadhu’ will no longer be a ballika(child). The popular daily soap ‘Ballika Vadhu’ is about to undergo a ‘sea’ change. In the middle of July, Avika Gor, the popular child artiste who has been playing the eponymous part for over two years now will exit the serial.

He’d earlier denied that he was doing the Sahara One show ‘Shorr. Goongi Kankoo ki Bolti Kahani’. Yasir Shah, had shot for two days and then wasn’t to be seen on the sets again. Back then, it was murmured that the UAE-based Pakistani actor was having issues with his visa, but as it turns out, Shah is very much a part of the Sahara One show.

It is always advisable to sleep for 6-7 hours. But the tele stars can hardly adhere to the rule as they have to report for their shoots as soon as they receive their calls. Ratan Rajput (Laali of ‘Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo’), is reportedly suffering from asleep disorder bordering on insomnia too. Although her condition has not yet been confirmed, she is definitely having trouble sleeping.

Pooja Pihal a.k.a Shravani of ‘Pavitra Rishta’ ,who became the proud owner of a new house last week, got looted this week. The day must have been unlucky for her. The girl had been about to take a darshan of the Almighty at Siddhivinayak (Dadar) when her belongings disappeared from within the confines of her car.

Star Plus has always been the trendsetter of fashion on TV. Ramola Sikand’s (Sudha Chandran) bindis, Tulsi’s (Smirti Irani) hair style, and now Parul Chaudhary’s style of wearing sarees are all trend setters in their own way.

She may not be ‘sarvagunn sampann’, but Balaji Telefilms is unlikely to replace Pooja Bose in their Imagine TV. On April 28, TellyCafe was the first to report on Pooja allegedly being replaced a few weeks before the launch of the show. The production team had even started to look for replacements, but as it turned out, Bose wasn’t dropped.

Today’s episode will be more of a cat fight as Imagine TV’s ‘Desi Girls’ will be seen trying their hand at a new task today. Ever since the girls had been transported to Sialba Majri, they haven’t had any time or chance to hit the gym. Since the girls were missing their workouts, they were given an opportunity to visit the Desi Gym, which is none other than the Gaon Ka Akhada. But one of the girls missed the Akhada and was forced to do something else as she was punished by the other girls in the group.

What an irony that it is a break-up that has helped ‘Pavitra Rishta’ (Holy relation) bring joy to its makers? Zee TV and and Balaji Telefilms must be wondering why they didn’t think of Archana-Manav’s divorce before.

Chota Ganpathi Telecreations’ ‘Do Saheliyaan – Kismat Ki Kathputaliyaan’ has taken a long time to launch. The show was earlier titled Chauda Phere. Promos of the show with the old title had hit the airwaves towards the end of 2009. However, the show was eventually launched on March 1, 2010.

Archana (Ankita Lokhande) and Manav (Sushant Singh) have finally got divorced and the audience really seems to be upset over this. The fans of Pavitra Rishta are still reeling under shock of their idealistic couple getting divorced and is seemingly affecting their interest too.

The initial plot of Sony’s Baat Hamari Pakki comes across as another mundane story of a guy and girl opting for an arranged marriage. However, there’s more to this story than what meets the eye.

NDTV Imagine’s popular show ‘Bandini’ has gone through many twists and turns with the lead character Santu’s journey towards marital happiness, crossing the barriers of age, caste, class as well as the various obstacles in her way.
