Solhah Singaarr Articles (No Comments) (Page 3)

SaharaOne Television is about to make a big splash in the Hindi General Entertainment Channel (GEC) space by introducing not less than eight new programmes.

The channel, having set an ambitious 2006-end target of achieving the third position in the market, hopes a near complete revamp of the sensitive 8 pm to 11 pm prime time band would drive the turnaround.

"By the end of 2006, we want to become the third most successful general entertainment channel in the Hindi space. We will be unleashing a series of programming activities in the coming weeks. Two new soaps Kuch Apne Kuch Paraye and Solhah Singaarr will start the proceedings and four more soaps will be launched in the prime time band. The picture will be complete with the introduction of two big ticket format shows," Sahara One Media and Entertainment Limited CEO Shantonu Aditya tells indiantelevision.com.

The channel's most successful soap Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki will however escape the revamp exercise. Another prime time soap Hare Kkaanch Ki Choodiyan is giving way for Solhah Singaarr. SaharaOne is yet to decide the slot for Kuch Apne Kuch Paraye, according to Aditya.

Speaking on the reality shows in the pipeline, Aditya said the channel was yet to finalise certain details and would be sharing information on the initiatives at a later period. However he hinted that one of the reality shows planned would be celebrity-based. "We had been planning to launch a celeb-based reality dance show Superstars. But, looking at the way the existing celeb dance shows are faring in the rating charts, we have decided to take a re-look at Superstars," Aditya says.

Akangsha Rawat

With small screen offering great opportunities to actors and many are seen making a name for themselves. Akangsha Rawat is one of them. Akangsha with her cute smile and girl next-door looks is a woman of substance. She is all set to play the character of Meerra in Sahara One Television's new show Solhah Singaar, which premieres on October 30 at 8.30 pm, Monday to Friday.

The character played by her is bubbly, charming and blunt... and yet so adorable. She is happiness and loyalty. She is virtue.... and she is pride. She lives in her own world, a world, which she thinks to be picture perfect.... a bed of roses. She is Meerra, the epitome of progressive woman in the serial Solah Singaar produced by Jai Mehta Productions and directed by Pawan Kumar who has previously directed shows like Sindoor...Tere Naam Ka, Ek Ladki Anjani Si and Piya Ka Ghar.

Akangsha Rawat takes on questions about her role in the show.

So Akangsha, how did you bag the lead role of Meerra?

I am really fortunate to be associated with Sahara One Television who saw the fire in me the novel opportunities to play the role of Meerra, a carefree teenager who thinks the world to be picture. The apple of everyone's eye in the Bhardwaj family. My joy knew no bounds when I managed to bag a great role.

What is the serial about?

It is the story of a young charming happy-go-lucky girl Meerra and her family based in holy city of Benares. The show traces Meera's life that is set in Benares, a city steeped in time, memory, devotion, knowledge and experience far beyond imagination.

How has the experience with co-stars and the crew been?

Overall a memorable one. Working with eminent actors Sudha Chandran, Mrinal Kulkarni and Anuj Saxena has been great. The cast and crew have been helpful throughout and working with them has been a learning experience. The production house is very professional and every encounter has brought in different realisations that will probably be useful for all future assignments.

Overall, I can say that Solah Singaar is one of a kind that is giving me, as also the audience, to show something new. — DP

It happened to be a song sequence where we used a lot of gulal. After the shot, I found myself bathed in pink and green colours from head to toe. Since it was already midnight, I didn't have time to wash the colours and preferred to go home instead. I reached my apartment at around 1.30 am, but the watchman refused me entry. I tried to explain the situation but he wouldn't listen to me. Our noisy argument managed to wake up most of the residents of our building. Finally, I asked him to call the secretary of our society, who came to my rescue and let me in."

Another twist in Solaah Shringaar

Be prepared for yet another plastic surgery or a funeral or the entry of a new face in Solaah Shringaar, the popular daily aired on Sahara One. A little birdie who is close to the creative team of the serial has informed us about the axing of new actress Naveena, from the soap. Naveena plays the character of Gauri who is the cousin of the protagonist Meera played by Akangsha Rawat.

According to the source the producers aren't happy with her acting skills and feel that she isn't doing justice to the character. We have heard that the producers have even convinced the channel and have seriously asked for a replacement. But when it comes to admitting the same to the media, producer Jay Mehta seems to be playing the age old diplomatic game. "It's a rumour. There are no talks about replacing Naveena. She is  a part of the serial," he says.
