Another fashion show on 'Kkusum'
After a ramp walk with female models, Sony's Kkusum gears up for a fashion show with male models for a one hour special that airs this Sunday.
 The new 'Kkusum' family bonds well |
Sony seems to be really pushing Kkusum, ever since Shilpa Saklani stepped in as a replacement to Manasi Joshi Roy. Apart from leads Anuj Saxena and Shilpa Saklani making an appearance soon on Batliwalla House No 43, we now hear that the channel has now roped in models Shayan Munshi, Vivan Bathena, Shahwar Ali, among others to walk the ramp for a 'fashion show' that's organised by Abhay Kapoor's daughter Kali in Shimla.
We also hear that Shilpa Saklani, the new Kkusum, will follow Kali to the show and will herself be followed to the venue by Abhay himself. The meeting will be picturised with the Shah Rukh Khan - Rani Mukherjee starrer 'Chalte Chalte' title track.
These developments, we believe, will unfold in the one hour special episode this Sunday. And if the plot proceeds as per the penned script thus far, Amit Sareen, who plays Kshitij, also stands a chance of being bumped off soon.
And do not be surprised if you see Amar Upadhyay making his long promised entry in a Balaji show in the same episode. So, are we looking at a love triangle between Shilpa, Amar and Anuj? Since the focus seems to have shifted away from the younger generation, that's the only inference we can come to. How about you?

"I am a die hard Balaji guy"- Akashdeep
Ansh aka Akashdeep will star in a fresh Star Plus soap to be produced by Balaji Telefilms. Although the long tressed actor has been switching channels rapidly ever since he got killed at Tulsi's hands in Kyunki... six months, he appears to be quite happy with his decision.
 Akashdeep and the team of time bomb |
He hasn't moved out of the Balaji fold though, he maintains. His track in Sony's Kkusum may not be going great guns, and for now, he may seem firmly entrenched in Ketan Mehta's Time Bomb, but Ekta's production house is still dear to Akash.
"I don't like playing negative characters," declares the guy whose positive roles always seem to take on negative overtones as the script moves ahead. "But I love to be compared to Amrish Puri or Amjad Khan," he grins his wicked smile.
"I always thought 'Gabbar' was Amjad Khan's real name, I never knew his real name till a very long time. That's the kind of effect a character should have on the audience. I see kids on the street calling out to me as 'Ansh.' This role is different from the one that I have done for Kyunki….as it was a mean character which was crafted, there was a motive but no justification. In
 Akashdeep: "we love to hate you" |
Time Bomb there are no emotions, but Ussman, my character, has a mission which he needs to accomplish by hook or by crook.
Akashdeep today seems a contented actor, yet itching to take on that experimental role that will allow him to explore his histrionic skills further.
Says he,"I feel proud when people say we love to hate you." Way to go, Akash!

Is Amar Upadhyay picking at dregs?
Amar Upadhyay, the hearthrob who once stole millions of hearts with his portrayal of Mihir in Kyunki, will be back on two Balaji serials shortly, months after confirming his readiness to enter the Ekta Kapoor camp once again. The cute looking actor will play Ronit Roy's brother in Kasautii Zindagi Kay and a doc in Kkusum. That Rohit Roy was the original choice to play reel sibling to his real bro is now known, but not many know that the role of doc in Kkusum is believed to be originally offered to Rajeev 'Sujal' Khandelwal.
On being asked if he knew he was not the original choice to play both characters, Amar shot back, "I wasn't the original choice to play Mihir either. The role originally went to a model by the name of Jimmy Gandhi. He shot on the mahurat on 7 April 2002. He continued to shoot on 8 and 9 April 2002. I shot on 10 April and was in."
We asked Amar about Rajeev being offered the role of the doctor before him in Kkusum and to our surprise, we realised that Amar knows Rajeev Khandelwal only as Sujal and had no idea who was offered the role in the beginning.
This is not all. Rohit rejected the role in Kasautii... because of monetary reasons.
"The money didn't work out. Where there is creativity, there is firework", says Rohit. Meanwhile, Rajeev maintains a stern, "I don't want to comment" on the issue.
Co-incidentally, Rajeev wasn't the first choice to play the role of Varun, in Ketan Mehta's Time Bomb. This role was initially offered to Rohit.
"I didn't take it up because I am doing Sarrkkar," Rohit spells. Does this fact now defy Ketan Mehta's instinct 'I wanted an action hero with a heart' for choosing Rajeev to play the undercover intelligence officer? Also if Rohit wouldn't have refused to play Varun, what would Rajeev have left with?
So didn't Amar the Mr. Charming didn't mind taking up leftovers? "Not at all! As long as I am getting good work, I have no qualms whatsoever. So to say, neither was Shah Rukh Khan the original choice to play the obsessed lover in Yash Chopra's Darr."
Amar is quite enthused about his roles. "I have signed a year's contract to do Kasautii…. But the role in Kkusum as a doctor is a cameo (though he is hopeful that the role does extend). I am very happy with the look they have given me in Kkusum. I wear a polo neck shirt and specs and the backdrop is the landscape of Shimla. It looks very much like Shah Rukh Khan in Mohabbatein," says Amar.
The young actor is probably still not the original choice on the producer's mind, but one only hopes that this hunk gets his way soon.

Mere papa wonderful" | ||||

It is generally the baby's day out. For a change we at Telly Chakkar wish to give importance to the clan who are forgotten to be mentioned about. The reason, as the ladies take away all the importance. In a gupshup with us the stars from the tellydom share how they would make their fathers special on 'father's day'.
Abhay aka Anuj Saxena of the Kkusum fame, says, "Well this is a very western culture, and neither do I believe in it nor does my dad. So there is nothing special for me to do for my dad." When he is asked what is that one thing that he thinks his father, Jagdish Saxena has given him? He smiles, "He is the one who has given me everything. He started as a very normal human being. I wish if I could be half the man of what he is. He has been my guide throughout. I was lucky enough to be born with a platinum spoon."
The newly wed Sai from Saara Akash feels her dad, cinematograhper Deboo Deodhar to be very special for her. And this year it is going to be made all the more special as she will have both her father and her father-in-law to celebrate with. She believes her dad has two children this time that's her and Shakti. "We plan to go out of Mumbai and have a blast. My father has taught me integrity, love and whether one has money or no, just be the way you are, and always be associated with good work. I consider myself to be lucky to have a father like him since he has never had any ego hassles."
The sexy and the witty Anu alias Swetta of Des Mein…. says, "I hope I am not shooting so that I can cook a nice meal for my dad, Suresh Chander Keswani. This will give me an opportunity to spend sometime with him." She affirms that her father has only taught her to be determined, ambitious and give her heart and soul to whatever she does. He supports me but at the same time he has never dictated his terms on me. And I think that is the best part."
Ballu balle balle… Gaurav Chopra, better known as Ruby Duby Hub Dub's Ballu uncle misses Swatantra Chopra, his father who is away from him. He says, "I will gift him a gold pen when I meet him next. He has always taught me to strike a balance between lives. He believes to dream big and reach the top, but at the same time never to forget our roots. He has been my inspiration thoroughly and I always look up to him for whatever I do." Simpleton Shama Sikander from Ye Meri… is quite baffled as to what she will do for her dad but she wants to give him a surprise. "My father has always taught me to have will-power and stick to values. And I am grateful to him for teaching me all this. Dad this ones for you: everything I do I owe it all to you." The light eyed chocolate boy, Chetan from Kkusum wishes to give his dad a big hug and plan something nice for him. "He is the most special man who has taught me to be patient and hard working. I have been really lucky because my dad has never forced me to do something I never wanted to do." |
