It all started when I was learning classical dance. My guru told me about a bhojpuri film. I went there and met the people. That is how I got the opportunity.

5. Are there any plans to go back to Bhojpuri films?

If there is any good script coming up my way, I would definitely go for it. Not many people know that my 2 Bhojpuri films have got national awards too. I would also like to do a Bengali film.

Uttaran actresses on hostile ground

There's a lot of twists and turns in store for 'Uttaran' fans. If sources are to be believed then the viewers will be in for a surprise soon.The word is out that it's now time for Iccha (Tina Dutta) to pack her bags and move out of Thakur Villa.

However, what will be surprising is that Thakurain, who so far has treated Iccha like her own daughter will ask her to vacate the house.

A source close to the production house says, "The creative team is planning to take the story ahead by getting Iccha out of the house, but no concrete plans have been made as of now. It is likely that Thakurain will feel sad for her daughter Tapasya's (Rashmi Desai) plight and this will result in a new twist in the tale."

However, this development will come about due to growing confusion in the Thakurain's mind, reveals the source. "Iccha will secretly meet Veer but not with a bad intention. In fact, she wants to convince Veer to move on with life and forget he. But Thakurain will misunderstands this act of Iccha's. This gives rise to confusion in her mind and results in a lot of problems. At the end she will drive Iccha out of the house," adds the source.

Tina Dutta was, however, unavailable for comments.

With the production house keeping its plans under wraps, viewers will have to wait and watch to find out whether Iccha actually leaves Thakur Villa and if she does, what becomes of her thereafter.

The famous fighting duo of our idiot box, Tappu and Iccha seems to bring their war along every where.Tina Dutta and Rashmi Desai of Uttaran are more or less same as they resemble in the serial because even if they wear mask showing that they are very good friends on camera but there is definitely some thing boiling within them.

Our close source from the sets tells, "Tina and Rashmi were recently shooting for a reality shows on the same set during which everyone could see them as they both gave cold shoulders to each other and along with that they were also not ready to give bytes together to any of the electronic media."

This all started on the sets of Uttaran where in Tina felt that she was not given much space on screen on the show than Rashmi and since then the two had parted their ways. "It was clearly seen that Tina was loaded with full attitude against Rashmi and thus it seemed that they were playing some secret game or fighting a war which was unfortunately seen by every one," adds the source.

Well Iccha and Tappu, it seems that you both have taken your onscreen character very seriously or may be something is really gone off beam.
