Zee’s picking pace with new shows
While Sony’s told us to wait till May 25,Zee’s cut to the chase and cleared prime times for new shows. The first one is Pavitra Rishta,and this one has quite a history to it already. Khabar hai that Ekta Kapoor known for belief in spiritual powers,asked her astrologer to calculate and choose the right name for the show. Now that the K factor has lost its ‘power’ (for the moment),Miss Kapoor juggled with names like Pavitra Bandhan,Ek Duje Ke Liye,Saubhagyawati,Saubhagyawati Bhava till she zeroed in on ‘Pavitra Rishta’. Not only this,keeping in mind the economic low,Ekta’s slowdown-ed on extravagance. With Pavitra Rishta,Ekta’s also looking to make another star. After giving us Rajshree Thakur,Prachi Desai,Divyanka Tripathi,she’s all set to introduce Ankita Lokhande in Pavitra Rishta. Ankita is a Zee Cinestars Ki Khoj contestant. We’re looking forward to it.

Little Miss Sunshine: It’s a comeback,and after Mohe Rangde,Prabhleen Sandhu will now be seen on Zee TV’s Aap Ki Antara as Antara’s mother. But more than that,it’s the show’s star,the adorable little Zaina Vastani as Antara. The four-year-old has already got the cast and crew in love with her. We hear that Zaina’s got her playing kit with her all the time,and designer Nisha Bedi has been engaged to design her ‘Polka dotted frocks’. Also,for the first time,any show has gone ahead and shot in a ‘real location’ in a Parsi colony in Mumbai!
