TV This Fortnight - 16th - 31st October

Am following two shows now

Ek Boond Ishq

Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi

Will update later. 

Sanaya News

Sanaya News for the fortnight

Have been out, will update the other bits and pieces later. Not much news on the new show, speculation about the male lead continues, but general news seems to confirm it is Ashish Sharma.

Cute article

24th October
One TellyBuzz article ... finally!!! Not much news in it, all speculative, including whether or not Sanaya is in it ... but they seem to have confirmed that by putting her picture and hers alone on the article. So obviously she is confirmed, but its not been given out officially yet.
And the PH and channel seems to be keeping the name of the ML very tightly under wraps ... the two names mentioned here are the two who are surely NOT doing the show!

http://www.india-forums.com/tellybuzz/buzzin-hot/17313-rang-rasiya-title-of-saurabh-tiwari-new-show-on-colors.htm

What I like is that it is being presented as a Nautanki PH and Colors new show, not a Sanaya Irani show. The burden of expectation is not on Sanaya this time, but on the PH and channel to deliver. Which is as it should be ... Sony messed up things completely with Chhanchhan by putting the entire burden on Sanaya and forgetting about minor essentials like script and screenplay. Even so, the show was enjoyable as long as it lasted ... but am glad it didn't drag for too long with low TRPs ... Sanaya deserves a better show. Hope this one works for her ... *fingers crossed and touch wood*

On the heels of the TB article naming the show, comes another one, from TC this time, confirming the name and rubbishing the two MLs named in the TB article ... thank God.

Hope it's Ashish Sharma after all ... and hope it's announced soon. Don't want more speculation than can be helped.

Ashish Sharma and Nikkhil Chaddha in contention for the lead role opposite Sanaya in Saurabh Tewari's next on Colors

3 min ago | TellychakkarTeam
Producer Saurabh Tewari's next for Colors, post the success of Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon will be a Rajasthani love story to be shot on a grand scale. Tentatively titled Rang Rasiya, the show will have popular name Sanaya Irani as the lead.
The hunt for the guy to play Sanaya's love interest is yet on, though few known names have been in the reckoning for some time now.
Tellychakkar.com was the first to report Ashish Sharma being in talks for the lead role.
We now hear that the toss up now is between Ashish and Nikkhil Chaddha, who is presently seen in Zee TV's Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke.
A reliable source tells us that Ashish and Nikhhil are presently into final talks for the role. And in 2-3 days, the actor will be finalized and locked.
We tried contacting both Ashish and Nikhhil, but they remained unavailable for comment.
Our efforts to get in touch with Producer Saurabh Tewari proved futile.
Let's see which actor gets to play the guy opposite Sanaya

Sanaya's new look

4th Oct

SBS segment with Sanaya's new look in her next show. Confirmed it's on Colors, and that the male lead is Ashish Sharma. Don't think SBS was meant to find Sanaya here ... they struck lucky, and so did we!

Adding here because the pics came out today .. Sanaya in a photoshoot for some upmarket boutique in the US ... she is looking stunning!!!!
I uploaded one after cropping it ... love her look here.


The rest of the pictures are in this post.

TV This Fortnight 1st - 15th October

Am just starting to catch up with TV so will add shows I find interesting.

Ek Boond Ishq - point of interest - Viraf Patel, Vishwajeet Pradhan, who is a fabulous actor, loved to hate him in Maryada ... and what promises to be a 'different' storyline.

Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi - Gautami Kapoor, and again an interesting and different storyline.

Mahabharat ... not impressed by any of the actors I have watched so far, but I like the Mahabharat so will probably watch it.

Qabool Hai ... just read a report saying that KSG's contract was for one year, so will he renew it or will he want to quit?
A repeat SN in the making? :)))

Madhubala ... adding because people are still watching it, and finally the story about Madhu becoming a heroine seems to be taking off.

Adding
24 ... watched the first episode on Friday, missed Saturday as I was out ... This one is worth watching, especially for those who have seen the original series. Very classy and slick, and the adaptation to the Indian political context is very clever.

Ek Baar Phir ... out of loyalty to the first show, I refuse to add its name to this one ;) Besides, except for the lead actors trying desperately to ape the original pair and failing (in the case of the girl, quite miserably), there is really nothing similar. Oh I forget ... also the rehashed, re-cycled copies of the iconic Arshi scenes, which also fall quite flat with the new pair. Not to mention the lack of chemistry ... chemistry needs two good actors ... here there is only one. 

News on Sanaya's new show

Adding links of all reports of Sanaya's new show ... IF she signs it. Repeating all the news from articles so far to keep this in the October post ... hopefully by Oct end, will get more news :)))

First to break the news was not a website this time, but a newspaper - TOI.
ST had offered Sanaya DDEJ on Life OK, she turned it down for Chhanchhan, he has apparently been waiting for her!

Newsroom said that Sanskaar will return at a new time slot, taking Pammi Pyarelal's time slot. That has been confirmed ... I saw the promos of the new season to air at 7 pm.
http://newsroomnewsindia.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/sanskaar-to-return-with-a-fresh-new-season-and-sanaya-iranis-show-on-colors-tv/

Newsroom claims that Sanaya confirmed to them about doing the show. :)))

Recycled news -

This site normally gives all re-cycled news, they never have any of their own. This article is also a copy/paste of the TOI one.

Prashant Bhatt, head of Colors, confirms a new show with Saurabh Tiwari, of Nautanki productions.

From a daily newspaper - Bombay Times (part of HT)


Apart from this, Sanaya in her birthday interviews also said she would be back soon and asked for fan support to make her show successful.

Back!
