Chatter Box

Vivan Bhatena is on a roll these days; he’s just signed up to play the lead role on a new show Sanskar Lakshmi.

New expectations

Vivaan Bhatena is on a roll these days; he’s just signed up to play the lead role on a new show Sanskar Lakshmi. The actor will be playing a modern Gujarati boy who wants to be independent and pursue his dreams in the US. At least it sounds different from all the other boys on TV who run some mysterious ‘family business’. Vivaan,on his part,is very excited and says,“Ever since I was given the first narration,I feel like this role was scripted for me.” We hope his optimism is justified; the show is written by Raju Bhai,writer of shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,Kkusum and Pavitra Rishta. But we wonder how iconoclastic a show named Sanskar Lakshmi can be?

Smart moves

She could’ve been Mrs Rahul Mahajan,but fate had other things in store for her. Nikunj Malik,who became famous when she professed her undying love for young Mr Mahajan on Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega,and later even made an appearance on Emotional Atyachar,will now be on Star One’s show,Geet – Hui Sabse Parayi. She will be playing Anvesha,the male lead Maan’s younger sister. Frankly,we think it’s better to be the sister of the groom on a fiction show,than to be the bride on a reality show,if you know what we mean.

After the break

RUPA Ganguly is one busy lady these days. Rupa,who plays the quiet Sumitra on Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo,is now trying to juggle her time between that and a new Bengali film that she has recently signed on. Finding it difficult to make enough time for both,she is now planning on a sabbatical from television so that she can pursue her film career with better dedication. “It is with a heavy heart that I am forced to take a break from the show for sometime. The cast too is like a second family to me. So,to divide my time between my Bengali film and this show gets very difficult as both roles are very creatively satisfying,” she says. Her absence from the story will be explained by sending the character on a char-dham yatra.
