Chatter Box

Two of a Kind

Ishita Vyas,who got the part of Jhalkari Bai in Zee’s hit show Jhansi Ki Rani almost made everyone’s jaws drop due to her uncanny similarity to the main protagonist played by Kratika Sengar. The new promos for the show highlight the entry of this new character. Sengar says,“Ishita’s looks are very similar to mine and some of the crew workers mistook her for the real queen.” Looks like there’s double trouble in store for the cast and the crew.

Cliché Alert

Popular actress Priya Bhatija will appear as the meek and docile Sudha in Baba Aiso Varr Dhoondo. Sudha is yet another female character on television who is always a victim of her husband’s moods. But she finds solace in her husband’s friend Murli,who finally helps her leave the unhappy marriage behind. This is probably the zillionth time an actress is playing a victim on television. We hope Bhatija has the scope to be more than just another brick in the wall.

Bitter Chocolate

TELEVISION’S chocolate boy Angad Hasija will soon be seen in a completely different avatar. He will be playing a village dude with a whole lot of attitude and shades of grey in the hit show Phulwa,on Colors. Now,that’s what is called a sweet transition — from being amiable to flamable. “The character attracted me,as it is very different and something which I have never done before,” he says. We’ve heard that line before.
