Saturdays are definitely sad days on the sets of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (Colors), as every week, one contestant gets eliminated from the show.

However the actor is not all unhappy about all this as he tells us, “I am very happy. In fact, I wanted to get eliminated this week as I had pending work. My film projects were left hanging mid-way. I have already started shooting for my Bollywood projects and I will get back to Bhojpuri cinema sometime next month.”
Additionally, the actor is thankful to Jhalak… as he got to learn a lot as well as lose five and a half kilos as a result of dancing, “I have lost five and a half kilos and learnt a lot of dancing, hence it was overall a good experience. Moreover, I got to spend quality time with my family in these two and a half months since being completely attached to Jhalak…, I used to dwindle between the sets and home which is not the routine I follow due to my shooting schedules.”
We wish him luck with his future projects.

Giaa Manek is ready to let go off the past

Giaa Manek is ready to let go off the past
After entertaining the masses as the docile, naïve and caring Gopi bahu of small screen, actress Giaa Manek had become synonymous to the character she plays in Star Plus’ one of the leading shows, Saath Nibhana Saathiya.

It was just a day back that we had informed you about Giaa being replaced in the popular daily owing to her participation in Colors’ Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. While this news took all by a surprise, everyone was keen to hear from Giaa’s ends, who we suppose is the major one at loss.

Talking of the unprofessional behavior she has been accused of and the contract term with the channel, Giaa clarified, “My contract says that I have to devote 25 days to Saathiya every month. Rest 5 days are at my disposal. I was asked to not do Comedy Circus as it did not suit my image and I can't sing, so any singing reality show was out of question. I had informed the production house that my participation in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa will in no way hamper Saathiya's progress, but they just did not listen”.

Though she is quite hurt with the entire affair but letting bygones be bygones, she is now moving on in her career. She added, "This should not be a mudslinging fest. I will say something and then they will say something. I just want to thank them for providing me with an opportunity of working on Saathiya that turned out to be such a hit. It is a little hard to accept that I will not be doing Saathiya now”.

Well, it is hard for your fans too Giaa and we just hope that whatever project you take up in near future, you come with flying colors

Ravi Kissen is set for his stint in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa
 So far you must have seen Ravi Kissen acting in various Hindi and regional films, but for the first time, be ready to welcome him in a dance reality show.

Though it is not the first time that Ravi is participating in a reality show as he was last seen in the first season of Bigg Boss as a participant, but one has never seen him dancing on the tunes of music at any dance reality show.

It seems that the makers of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa on Colors are leaving no stone unturned in making the show even more attractive. After roping in household and international names like Pratyusha Banerjee, Giaa Maanek and Sri Lankan cricketer Sanath Jayasuriya, the latest to join the band wagon is Bhojpuri superstar Ravi Kissen.

From the look Ravi is sure to kill with his jazzy golden attire and his jhatkas and matkas. Ravi Kissen, who also participated in Bigg Boss, will make his comeback on the small screen with Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 5. The show will see 12 contestants battling it out on the dance floor to win the competition.

Let's hope that Ravi impresses the judges and puts his best foot forward!

Now with a promise to sizzle the viewers, dance reality show Nach Baliye is making a comeback on Star Plus after years since its first season hit the airwaves.

As usual, lots of celebs’ names are being popped in the air as probable contestants to shake a leg or two. Media has already reported about Kritika Kamra and Karan Kundra being a part of it. But as per recent reports these lovebirds have parted ways and have decided not to be a part of any show just for the sake of money or publicity.

Now, the latest we have learnt is that Rubina Dilaik and Avinash Sachdev have been approached by the makers Sol Productions. They were last seen in Zee TV’s Choti Bahu.

However, Rubina said, “These are just rumors and nothing as such is happening. I am busy settling back in life after a long season of Choti Bahu and if Nach Baliye happens, I wouldn’t mind doing it”.

While Avinash said, “I am not at all comfortable dancing as it’s not my passion. But if given a chance I would think over it.”

All we can say is Avinash-Rubina, you make an adorable couple and it would be a treat for fans to see you both dancing together!

Giaa Manek and Hina Khan finally make it to Jhalak

Giaa Manek and Hina Khan finally make it to Jhalak
Just a couple of days back we had updated you all how the channel war was creating trouble for the actors like Giaa Manek and Hina Khan.

Two of Star Plus’ ideal bahus were roped in by the makers of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, which has switched to Colors from Sony. Apparently, Giaa and Hina are highly famous as Gopi from Saath Nibhana Saathiya and Akshara from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai respectively. Thus their inclusion in the list surely guaranteed attention and hype for the show.

But things became a little troublesome as Star Plus warned them to withdraw their names. In fact, the officials had even went on the verge of asking Rashmi Sharma (maker of Saathiya) to replace Giaa if she as so keen on taking JDJ. The actors too faced some traumatic moments as on 16 May 2012, the Association of Motion Pictures and Television Producers (AMPTP) and CINTAA officials met up following complaints by the two actors of their plight to CINTAA. However, succor came from elsewhere: top officials from Colors and Star met and decided to come to a truce. They agreed on exchanging actors for non-fiction shows.

And the latest info is that both Giaa and Hina Khan are indeed a part of JDJ and they will continue to be the leads in Saath Nibhana and Yeh Rishta respectively.

Just hope there won’t be any more issue!

Giaa Manek might see the exit door from Star Plus's Saath Nibhana Saathiya
The queen of daily sagas Giaa Manek aka Gopi has already made a secured place in the hearts of every television viewer across the country and worldwide with her meticulous and superb performance through the very favorite show Saath Nibhana Saathiya aired on Star Plus.

However, nowadays Giaa is hogging limelight for not so good reasons. First it was her unpleasing behavior during the Hookha parlor controversy that got her into the bad books of all and now we hear that she has entered into a battle with the SNS’s production house too. If believe the buzz coming from town then Giaa might soon be shown the exit door in the show.

Reason? This all has to do with Giaa signing BBC Worldwide’s upcoming show on Colors, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa without the production house’s consent. As per a source, “Giaa went ahead and gave a nod to Jhalak, much to the production house’s discontentment. The channel even gave Giaa a warning that if she takes up any other show, she will have to bear the brunt,”

When contacted producer Rashmi Sharma, she said, “get in touch later”. On the other hand, Giaa aka Gopi said, “I have no idea about it. I have not been told anything officially. But yes, I don’t think there will be any issue on me taking up Jhalak.”

Let’s see if the makers bring in a new face or Giaa is allowed to take up both shows simultaneously!
