I am very jovial in nature says beautiful Sukirti Khandpal
Star One’s vampire saga, Pyaar Ki Ye Ek Kahaani made Sukirti Khandpal  the immensurable actress of Television Industry. The very enchanting beauty Sukirti crossed the limits of admirers through the show.  Since the show went off air, her fans have been missing her but she will soon be seen in Jay Mehta’s next on Zee TV.

In a conversation she revealed the notion about what she had been doing in her mean time, she smilingly said, “Oh nothing much… I am just chilling at home. Enjoying life, eating, sleeping and reading. I love reading novels a lot and currently I am perusing Paulo Coelho’s The Winner Stands Alone”.

She further went on to state, “I also love playing with my dogs. I have two dogs, the Perkin breed’s name is Lamda and the Chihuahua’s name is Shumba. They always jump on me and don’t let me sleep at all. I just love them. Furthermore, I love shopping a lot and I follow brands like Zara, United Colors of Benetton and I pick up foot wear from Charles & Keith. And guess what? On Mother’s Day I gifted my mother one carat diamond ring.”

And she confessed that she likes to live life king size and is a very expensive person. “I like to hangout in pubs and five star hotels. And yes, I love English movies. Recently, I saw Avengers and that too twice. As a person, I am very jovial in nature.”

Well, you are quite an expensive one we say!

Ashish Sharma justifies quitting Chandragupta Maurya

Ashish Sharma justifies quitting Chandragupta Maurya
With Imagine TV shutting down unexpectedly, many of its shows also met the same end. But luckily, Chandragupta Maurya, which created a lot of buzz since it went off air, has managed to find a new channel ready to air it.

As we had last updated you, Sony TV has brought the rights of the show and is all willing to air the historical saga. But buzz even states that show’s lead, Ashish Sharma aka Chandragupta Maurya, won’t be a part of it as he has moved on with Jay Mehta's next on Zee TV.

While one was finding Jay Mehta’s show as the reason behind Ashish’s absence from Maurya, the actor refuted saying that his contract with the makers (Sagar Arts and 72 Degree Northe) would have come to an end. He added, "If the show would have continued, I would have hoped that it ended by my contract period so that I could chase my dream of producing short films”.

Ashish even said, "It was unfortunate that the show shut down. We were all working towards the part where Chandragupta would become the king. I am not sure if the show will come on another channel or not. Even if it does, it will not start before July and by then my contract would be over. I can’t continue for I have my above commitments which will get delayed by a year and a half and that is something which I can’t afford. I agree professional decisions are harsh to take but yet you need to go ahead with them”.

Well, we hope you create magic with the new show Ashish!
