If you didn't have enough of Shabbir Ahluwalia and his histrionics in Kahin To Hoga or found it difficult to stay awake so late to catch a glimpse of him, here's something for you. The actor has made a dramatic entry in Kasauti Zindagi Kay.
The role will see Ahluwalia play a sports car enthusiast-cum-businessman. Apparently, Ahluwalia is a sports car enthusiast and racing a passion little wonder he finds it easy playing the role of Omi. Walkouts and quarrels between judges seem to be the order of the day in reality shows.
While we have seen mock and real walkouts in earlier episodes of Indian Idol as well, what happened between Bappi Lahiri and Abhijit on the sets of Sa Re Ga Ma Little Champs was truly unprecendented. Not only did the two engage in a loud and lengthy verbal duel, the latter even threatened to walk out of the show and started accusing Lahiri.
Not one to be quiet, Lahiri shot back by saying that Abhijit should learn to respect seniors. Only after Alka Yagnik, Shaan and producer Gajendra Singh's intervention were the two pacified. Quite a drama that. One sometimes wonders whether all this quarrels in reality shows is real, or is a TRP booster script.
DiwaliA special evening programme, it will bring together the Viranis, Agarwals, Lambas and all the other family members of the STAR Parivaar under one roof (or slot!).
Not just this, caring two hoots for the 20 year leaps, all the stars will regain their youthfulness and start dancing to the latest Bollywood chartbusters!
If all this sounds interesting, tune in to Star Plus on October 14 between 7 pm and 9 pm.
We have seen that it is not easy to establish the character of a detective on the small screen. But for Karamchand and CID, how many detective serials do you remember? Sad, but true.It seems, neither could DON or Detective Onkar Nath. Played by Parmeet Sethi, Detective Onkar Nath couldn't really make it because of one simple reason he had nothing special in him. The storylines were somewhat interesting, but not spine-chilling, the cracking of cases was intelligent but not extraordinary and above all, the package was nothing great.
In these days of cut-throat competition little wonder that DON is bidding adieu to its audiences in just nine months.
