A revamped Kasauti…

Now it’s time for Prerna and Mr. Bajaj’s makeover.

Kasauti Zindagi Kay is taking a leap of 20 years once again. This will be the fourth leap of the show. The buzz is that Prerna (Shweta Tiwari) and Mr Bajaj (Ronit Roy)’s makeover will happen soon. The serial will take a leap after a month. Right now the story’s focus is on Sneha (Jennifer Winset) and Omi’s (Shabbir Ahluwalia) marriage which is happening in the palace of Jaipur. Here, Prerna’s past is going to catch up on her as Omi’s masi (Navnit Nishan) who knows everything about Prerna’s past and that includes Rana Pratap Singh (Vinay Jain), has deliberately taken Basu and Bajaj families to Jaipur to witness the drama unfolding.

Once this storm blows over though, Prerna and Bajaj will go through a makeover, informs a Balaji source. Neither of the two actors have been officially told about this though.

Shweta says: “We have also heard about it. But Balaji people have not yet informed us yet as they want to maintain secrecy. First we’ll have a meeting with our creative head and then with the costume designer and with the hair stylist. I think at least for a month this track of Prerna’s past will continue. Maybe by March end or in April we’ll take a leap. My Bhojpuri film shooting finishes in 20 days so if my look changes after that, no issues. There will not be any problem with my other assignments. Before the makeover a major drama is going to happen in the show. But in Kasauti, frankly speaking, nobody knows what is going to happen next. Normally we come here and shoot according to what the director and scriptwriter tells us. ”

Ronit Roy, whose film career got a major resurrection thanks to his super portrayal of Mr Bajaj, says: “I have also heard about the makeover and we’ll soon have a meeting on this very soon. Apart from this I don’t know anything. Once I know what I look like after the makeover, I’ll see how I’m going to handle my other projects.”

Kasauti’ first leap: 5 years. A young college-going Prerna must have reached her early twenties with this leap.

Kasauti’ second leap: 8 years: Prerna touches 30 at least with this leap.

Kasauti’s third leap: 20 years: Prerna should be in her 50s…this is where the serial is now and has been for the last one and a half years.

Kasauti’s fourth leap: 20 years. With this leap, Prerna’s age would roughly be around 60 years and Bajaj, even older. So will we see a graying, toothless Prerna and a bald Bajaj?

Not a chance, we’re sure.

What is Shweta Tiwari’s real age?
When Sweta started the serial, she was already married and a mother. Five years on, she has hardly aged. Maybe real and reel life are not too different after all.

Extreme Makeover

Extreme Makeover

Speaking about designing and styling, Aarti says, “This is something I have been doing for years but I never speak about it. I have done many ad campaigns and even styled Akshaye Khanna many years back for a film Love You Hamesha. I had given him the tattered jeans look way back then. However this is something I don’t like to talk about and I am not comfortable discussing it so soon. People in the trade know that I am working on the show’s look and that is more than enough for me.”

Ekta Kapoor says, “I asked Aarti to design the new look for the show since I know that she has that kind of vision. I was always sure that she would pick the best for Kasautii Zindagii Kay. Kasautii… today is one of our biggest shows. So we decided to have this new look to go with the generation leap. We will also be constructing a huge new set worth Rs 1.5 cr.”

She further informs, “Yes we will be spending a lot of money on the look and the sets. However, I won’t be able to give you any exact details at the moment. The three protagonists (Shweta, Hiten and Ronit Roy) will go in for a complete make-over. Star has been very forthcoming and even agreed to spend 50 per cent of the expenses on the new look after the generation leap. “

Hiten Tejwani, who has just been roped in place of Cezzane Khan says, “I am yet to start shooting and as far as the look is concerned, I am yet to have a meeting with Ekta. I am sure she already has something in mind and she will have a definite picture about how she wants my character to look like once I take over as Anurag.”

Hamar Sainya Hindustani Shooting over, 2nd Movie Underway

Prerna-Raja

Prerna’s hubby harasses her in home moviePrerna (Shweta Tiwari) of Kasautii Zindagi Kay has completed shooting her home production Hamra Sanya Hindustani, a Bhojpuri movie in which her husband Raja Chaudhary plays villain.
Shweta is currently shooting a second Bhojpuri film. Actor Surendra Pal (Dronacharya of serial Mahabharat) is directing and producing Apna Bahini Se Biyah Kara Dana and the film is expected to be released in April. We called Shweta to ask about her Bhojpuri gambit, but she was away and her phone was answered by husband Raja Chaudhary, so we chatted with him instead.Raja has produced s… and says, incredibly, that he had never watched a Bhojpuri film before making one. “I hadn’t seen any but Shweta had seen a couple before she worked on our film,” he said. In their home production, Shweta plays Radha, who falls in love with Suraj (Ravi Kissen of Bigg Boss). Suraj is poor and a musician, playing the guitar. Raja also acts in the movie, playing a negative character who tries to create problems between Radha and Suraj, but in the end they come together.

“Our home production is complete and we’ll release the film next month. Meanwhile Shweta was approached by Surendra Pal. He read somewhere that Shweta was doing a Bhojpuri film and was keen to work with her. We met and he narrated the role to Shweta who liked it and accepted the offer,” Raja said.

“In this film she is the lead opposite famous Bhojpuri actor-singer Manoj Tiwari. She plays the role of a village girl who falls in love during her sister’s wedding. The boy she loves is the brother-in-law of her sister. Both of them are in college and never get the chance to express their feelings to each other. In the end they marry.” “Shweta finds this role very good because there’s no vulgarity in it. On the other hand she is not happy with the kind of roles she is getting in Hindi films.”

Ronit-Shweta- Love’s labour lost
Valentine’s Day is a day of and for lovers - an occasion when affection, love, care, fondness….is openly exhibited. But what about those individuals who harbour reverse feelings for someone, who just can’t get along with each other?Let’s have look at those television celebs who simply aren’t eligible to go on a date on V-Day!
Shweta Tiwari - Ronit Roy:

This hit on screen jodi, in spite of being associated with each other since donkey’s years for Kasautii…., have mostly made news for their squabbles off screen. Shweta and Ronit have locked horns on many an issues. For instance, during a holi scene Roy stuffed her mouth and ears with gulal and a vexed Shweta pushed him. There have also been times when she was made to wait for hours till Ronit rehearsed. And so all the credit goes to their acting skills due to which this duo can conceal their real life not-so-happening chemistry.
Rajeev Khandelwal - Ekta Kapoor

He was the best thing to have happened to Balaji Telefilms almost three years back. And the effect was vice-versa. Overnight Rajeev became a sensation and his show Kahin To Hoga enjoyed a good spell at the TRPs. But then, started the constant clashes due to his interference with the script, especially the way his character was shaping up. But Ekta being Ekta, did not budge and showed Rajeev the door. Result: Casualty to his stardom and the show’s ratings! Now with Rajeev trying to get into her camp by giving statements, “I don’t mind working with Ekta”, you never know if his status of being Ekta’s blue-eyed-boy will be retrieved.
Eijaz Khan - Sanjeeda

Known for his reserved temperament, Eijaz shared cold vibes with his co-actor Sanjeeda during the days of Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka. He’s even stormed out of the sets when Sanjeeda got officious during his rehearsals. In fact, Khan went on record to quote, “I wouldn’t like to comment on unimportant people and unimportant issues.” But now as the only link (Nimmo) that bonded them is no longer in being, Eijaz and Sanjeeda are breathing easy.

Aamna Shariff - Gurpreet Singh

Imagine being accused of ruining someone’s career! Yes, gossip mills have been churning tales that Gurpreet (Sujal - Part 2 of Kahin To Hoga) impeached his co-star Aamna with this blame. On the other hand, insiders believe that Aamna couldn’t stand him for replacing Rajeev (her original Sujal). So fireworks were bound to happen. But now as its curtains for this long running show, we doubt if we’ll ever get to see this pairing on screen again!

Bobby Darling - Salil Ankola

Now this is a casting coup of sorts. If one has been following Sony’s Bigg Boss, it can be recalled how Bobby was snubbed by the handsome Ankola for his gender. Not only was this ‘woman trapped in the man’s body’ royally ignored by Salil, Bobby was also hurled with sarcastic remarks! And what happened next was the very obvious melodrama by Bobby which didn’t last long as Salil soon had to leave BB due to his contractual commitments. One wonders, if his stay had been prolonged, this friction would have definitely set the BB’s house on fire!
