POW and Sanaya

After the disappointing news of Meenu Mausi being 'indefinitely on hold', whatever that means, there is really a dearth of good TV shows to watch. I don't blame Star Plus for putting all new shows on hold, given that their current prime time shows are all struggling badly, and the only ones keeping their ratings somewhat respectable are the old ones like YHM and Saathiya. But seriously, their programming team needs to be fired ... who the hell took the bright decision to have three Ekta shows one after the other at prime time? And not only that, who decided to rush such a tired show like Pardes on air, with its typical FL, and even more typical vamps, all  of whom are not only tried and tested Ekta actors, but also seem to be doing exactly the same roles they have done in the past. The whole show looks stale ... doesn't help that the actors are also quite bad. I thought DD was a better actress ... Arjun's acting, or lack of it, doesn't surprise me.

Anyway ... seems Sanaya is on the lookout for new shows ... TC carried an article on a potential show on Sony, with the lead character a mentally/physically challenged girl. If this works out, then it will be a dream role for Sanaya ... her dream has been to play a mentally/physically challenged character like Rani in Black. A challenge for any actor. By the genre though, I hope it will be a finite show ... can't see such a show being dragged for too long.

Loyal fans of Sanaya Irani were in for a disappointment when her upcoming show titled Meenu Mausi got shelved indefinitely!! 
Seems like they say, after all the disappointment comes the ray of hope!! 
Well, there’s some good news as Sanaya who is a very efficient performer has been showered with more options ever since the news of Meenu Mausi’s development flashed all around. 
Wow!! This is indeed good, isn’t it? 
We hear that Sanaya is presently in talks for a role that will require her to be at the top of her performance. If things fall in place, it might turn out to be one of Sanaya’s best-ever roles, is what we hear!! 
So what’s the show and role all about?
Our credible source informs us that Yash Patnaik’s Beyond Dreams is presently working on a show for Sony TV. Tentatively titled Behane, the show will depict the journey of a girl who would be suffering from a health ailment, similar to the hyperactivity syndrome. 
Interesting, right? 
Our source further tells us, “The channel and makers have been very keen on casting Sanaya for the lead role of Kavya, the girl with the health problem. Talks are presently happening with Sanaya Irani.”
The show will in all likelihood go on floor in January 2017. 
We reached out to Producer Yash Patnaik and even dropped a text message, but did not get any revert. As we know, Beyond Dreams has the entertaining saga Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi airing on Sony TV presently. 
We buzzed Sanaya too but she chose not to respond. 
Our efforts to talk to the channel spokesperson were also futile. 
Do you think Sanaya will do a swell job in the role? Drop your comments here..

No further news on this though ... and all media still report MM as being on hold or postponed ... so we just have to wait.

POW is gripping ... a show well worth watching. The acting is STELLAR. I am head over heels in love with Imaan with his wise, sad, kind eyes ... and with Harleen and her gritty strength. The only complaint I have right now is with the rather ghissi piti letter going astray track. Thankfully it has already been found by the senior Mrs. Khan ... now what she does with it, when she finds her own sikka is khota, when she has been rather anti her daughter-in-law all this while, will be interesting. She was upset about Nazneen linking up with Salim while Imaan was missing for 17 long years, but now she has to swallow the fact that her son was unfaithful to his wife when she was pregnant with his baby.  

On the other side, Sartaj is also unfaithful to Harleen, when she has been solidly faithful to his memory and to his family. And his father dumps the DIL  for the son ... blood is thicker than water, after all. But bless her devar and his wife ... they are made of more solid stuff.

The writer of the show is supposedly on the POW forum ... if genuine. He confirmed what I'd read somewhere ... channel  is solidly behind the show, and there will be no changes based on TRP whims. So definitely a show worth sticking to till the end. 

Have I mentioned the acting? Not only the leads ... the last few episodes have shown the supporting cast rise to the occasion ... each of them is solid gold. Sartaj's younger brother Satpal and his wife Veera are wonderful characters. Loving the show!

Sanaya News ... and Other shows

Leaked clip of  mock shoot/promo/whatever of Sanaya's new show ... so the show is confirmed, the leads seem to be locked ... she is well and truly on her way back ... halleluiah!!!





According the latest clip from SBAS,  Sanaya and Harshad are playing doctors. Time for me to get ready to *head desk* a few million times ... but anything for Sanaya!!!

First promo for SP's new show Naamkaran ... and it already has me intrigued. I am going to catch this one for sure. Bonus is that the actors are all good, and the child actor seems good from the promo. SP has a record of casting very good child actors ... think Bhavesh and Harshita of Veera, and Ruhi from YHM ... so I'm hoping this ... and Sanaya's show ... are no exceptions.

Bade Bhaiya Ki Dulhaniya continues to hold my interest ... hope the chacha chachi don't degenerate into outright villains, they are  already going down that way. Hope Kapil has some redeeming qualities and owns up ... that will paint his parents very black indeed, so I doubt he will do that. But I wonder how will Meera be cleared ...  and I hope she is cleared very soon, and this whole matter isn't dragged till eternity with no one being the wiser.
If I was Meera, I would have said very firmly that I gave Rs 30,000 to chacha chachi, if the family wants, they can believe me, if they don't believe me, no skin off my back, I'm going. I tried to help you all out, but it seems no  one in this family is bothered about the entire family, except for Abhishek. I'm sorry, Abhishek, I think you're fighting a losing battle here, but they're your family ... all the best.
And if Amma tells her ... so you're saying my son and DIL are lying, Meera should turn around and tell her very firmly, yes, I'm sorry to say this, but they are.

Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke ... the story reaches the main point ... Dev is deliriously happy with Sona, she is his anchor, his soulmate, she makes him feel light hearted and happy again, which he hasn't felt ever since childhood, she teases him, laughs with him, makes him laugh, and he enjoys every moment he spends with her. With her he is not the provider, the responsible one ... with her, he is just himself.
And Ishwari hates that ... an insecure mother, she sees her son going away from her, sees another woman holding sway over him, sees Dev listening to another woman's words, following her wishes ... and Ishwari is scared that she is no longer the number 1 woman in her son's life. Of course, her feelings are reinforced by Radha Rani.
I'm not sure of RR's motives, except that maybe she feels an outsider woman, especially an intelligent one, will see through RR's and Vicky's shenanigans very quickly ... and also they are happy  for Dev to remain unmarried, as that means Vicky may get a bigger share of the business. Vicky is a complete waste ... and RR's encouragement shows a mirror how women raise sons who feel it is all right to insult, eve tease and molest other women.

Ishqbaaz ... not really holding my interest. Gul's strength is romance, but here, none of the couples have a spark ... and her humour is forced at best, and slapstick at worst. The scenes between the couples are repetitive, and all are lifted in some way from IPKKND, but the actors don't manage to lift them anywhere near the same level. Good for a light watch, as the track is light as of now, and for the bromance.

New Sanaya News

The latest news on Sanaya's new show ... Aditya Redij out, Harshad Chopra in. This according to Bollywood life, which is not a very reliable site, however, SBS also reported the same news today, so there may be some truth in it. Still waiting for confirmation from more sources.

If it's true, I'm happy ... Harshad has long been on my list of desired ML's for Sanaya ... he is tall, good looking and a good actor, and will make a good pair with San. They both debuted in the same show, Left Right Left, so there will be a comfort level there already.

Sanaya-Harshad to star together in Meenu Mausi?


The superhit romcom from the 90s, Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke, is all set to be remade for the small screen. Good news, eh? Wait. We have even better news.
TV hotties Harshad Chopda and Sanaya Irani are recreating the iconic movie in Meenu Mausi, an entertainment portal has reported. According to the site, the twist is that Harshad and Sanaya would be playing Juhi Chawla and Aamir Khan’s roles, respectively.
Which means that Sanaya would play the titular role of a clueless maasi who has to take care of her sister’s kids, while Harshad would be paired opposite her.
He would not only help her handle the kids, but also become her anchor, who would eventually fall in love with her, the site added further.
It’s said that the two have already shot for the pilot episode. Even though the pair has never been cast opposite each other, they starred in two seasons of Left, Right, Left on SAB TV.
Sanaya, who recently got married, would be making her comeback post-marriage. On the other hand, Harshad was last seen in Humsafars.

And the central role of the mausi will be played by Sanaya, is what we hear.

We tried our best contacting both Sanaya and Redij, but could not get through to them. 
As we know, Full House Media has their successful show Bahu Humari Rajni_kant going strong on Life OK. 
Producer Amir Jaffer said that the show is in its initial stage and nothing has been confirmed yet.
