Hunar Hali and Ali Merchant seen together in many parties in Delhi

Hunar Hali and Ali Merchant seen together in many parties in Delhi
Bad boy of television industry Ali Merchant is again in lime light for his personal life. This time the dashing hunk is seen with Hunar Hali, the lead of Colors’ show Chhal Sheh Aur Maat.

For long, he had been labeled as a stud who always got his way with women. It was no surprise to see TV’s hunk Ali Mercchant with a new pretty thing dangling in his arm at several parties. He was like a rolling stone who refused to find its resting spot.  That was until he got settled down with Sara Khan on Bigg Boss season 4 by getting hitched to her on the Colors show. And then came the shocker, he split up with her a few weeks later and both went their own ways.

Apparently, a little before Ali and Sara drifted, the dude was seen in Delhi introducing a sexy looking thing (in a teeny-weeny skirt) to a renowned TV director, asking him to help the girl get some work in television. That actress reportedly was Hunar Hali who was then struggling to break into TV.

Sources say that Ali and Hunar got into a short-lived tempestuous relationship around that time and hence, Ali was promoting her. When sources got in touch with Hunar, she denied the fact that she had ever rolled in the hay with Ali. “I might have met him at a few Delhi parties, but we have not slept together,” she stated categorically. “I don't know why I am being targeted like this - maybe because my show is becoming popular.”

Now that’s quite a dangerous connection!

Chandragupta Maurya now gets into a new trouble
News about Imagine TV’s highly popular Chandragupta Maurya making a comeback has permanently been the topic of discussion. Since Imagine TV closed down, there has been a huge buzz that the show will make a comeback on Sony Entertainment Television.

But it has been quite some time since the news broke and nothing has been heard further in the direction. Now the latest update on Maurya’s phoenix like story is that the channel Sony Entertainment Television, has asked the production house to get a NOC (Non Objection Certificate) from Turner group. Nothing can get a go ahead till the NOC is obtained.

For the confirmation of the news when sources get in touch with show’s CO Nilanjana, she said, “That’s true, Sony is asking for NOC and it will take time for us to get it. It’s a process and we have to undergo it,”

Meanwhile, news of serial’s lead Ashish Sharma aka Chandragupta opting out from the show has already troubled many. And his replacement will be made only after the makers procure the NOC.

Hope the audience soon gets to watch Maurya back!

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!

Needless to say this experiment yielded results and his hosting skills were loved by one and all. The show became quite a rage among the masses and everybody praised Shakti for his lively presence on the sets as a host. Thanks to his wonderful stint on the reality show, Shakti was then offered to host the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Awards 2012 which were held on Thursday, May 3, 2012.

This was indeed a moment of pride for Shakti and before taking on the podium to host the glorious event, he was quoted saying, "It's a great event I am excited to be a part of such a big event. All the actors and the producers of our Indian Cinema will be part of the evening today. I haven't really prepared myself. I have decided to be myself and I will meet people with warmth and respect.

Chandragupta Maurya will be back, but not with Ashish Sharma in the lead

Chandragupta Maurya will be back, but not with Ashish Sharma in the lead
We hope this pacifies all Maurya fans as Chandragupta Maurya is soon going to be back on TV after it went off-air abruptly due to the sudden closure of Imagine TV. And if sources are to be believed, then the show is all set to return on Sony Entertainment Television.

Well, if this happens, then it will create a history of sorts in the world of Hindi television industry. Maurya’s makers Sagar Arts and 72 Degree North have been making efforts to get the series back on TV and approached Zee TV, Sony and Life OK. Ultimately, Sony has agreed to air the show all over again.

But here is a twist in the story? The lead actor Ashish Sharma is out from the frame, He will no longer flex his muscles and swirl the sword as Chandragupta Maurya. He said, “I am not doing Chandragupta Maurya (CGM) though I wanted it to come back on another channel after Imagine TV went off air. But then I had a lot of pending work to do while I was doing CGM and hence as soon as the show went off air I got busy setting my company Smoking Carrots”.

Ashish is going to miss the show, as he said,   “For me I am Chandragupta Maurya. I have lived it for eight months and while quitting the show, I will be leaving behind a part of me as well.”

Well, Ashish it’s part of life…..Good Luck for future stories!

Chandragupta Maurya has all the chances to return
The abrupt shutting down of Imagine brought in a deep shock for many involved with the channel. Even fans, who had been following many of the shows on Imagine, showed their rage by bashing the channel’s official site.

There are many shows which are being demanded to be aired back and one of them is Sagar Arts and 72 Degrees Northe’s Chandragupta Maurya.

 A show shutting down certainly doesn’t always mean that the team too cuts off all ties; at least the team of Imagine TV’s Chandragupta Maurya is certainly not of this kind.

Buzz states that the entire team of the show surprised actor Manish Wadhwa on the night of his birthday i.e. April 23, 2012. Sharing his happiness over the same, Manish said, “Everyone came in with a cake and gifts. They stayed till the wee hours of the morning and had a lot of fun. They put cake all over my face. It was great to have them at home. It was the best surprise that I have received till date on my b’day”.

He further added, “My parents are very dear to me hence I always feel the need to take their blessings.” And on being asked about the gifts he got, Manish stated, “My biggest gift was the surprise last night. I have also received a lovely watch from my dear friend. Rest of my friends also brought in a lot of things, including beautiful flowers.”

Well, we can sense how happy you would have been! You have surely got a good bunch of people around.

Sony TV's Shubh Vivah might go of air

Sony TV's Shubh Vivah might go of air
Living up the pressure of bagging decent TRPs and surviving the hard core competition is certainly turning a big time task for our daily shows.

Gone are the days when shows were given the liberty to continue their run despite the fact of them performing badly, today, the scenario is completely different. If you work its good, else pack your bag and get going. This is what the channels have to say to the shows which are not getting the desired rates.

In the recent past we got to know of many shows that went off air or rather we should say were made to shut down owing to their poor act. And what to say of shows, shutting down of a complete channel like Imagine TV itself vouches for the high level competition existing in TV world. Before you think as to why we are discussing this fact out here let us tell you that if the buzz stands true then soon Sony TV’s newly launched Shubh Vivah will be the next one to bid adieu.

Yes, we know it comes as a big surprise as the daily is hardly a couple of months old but this is what we have been hearing of late. Starring actors like Eijaz Khan, Aashka Goradia, and Rakesh Bedi, the show has been facing constant dipping in TRPs.

A source said, “Everyone on the sets is aware of the news. It will go off air by end of May or early June 2012. The actors in the show have started getting calls from other production houses for work”. Under all cases, Hats off’s upcoming show, tentatively titled Byah Hamari Bahu Ka, is expected to replace Shubh Vivah.

Well, it’s really sad for Shubh Vivah!

Highly elated with the praises coming his way, Shakti said, “I have been in the industry for quite some time now, but after watching me on Gyaan Guru, my grandfather complimented me for the first time. He actually liked my style of anchoring”.

It is notable that Shakti’s grandfather also hails from the world of entertainment. He is none other than veteran actor, producer and director Chandrashankar, who is also the founder and trustee of CINTAA.

On being quizzed about his grandfather’s reaction over his act, Shakti stated, “He always appreciates good work. So I knew that I would get compliment from him the day I put up a good performance. And yes, this time around he did pat my back”. The stunning actor even admitted that he has always looked up to the megastar Amitabh Bachchan while playing the host.

Well, we hope that you’ll soon land up with more of such interesting shows Shakti!

rakhi sawant feels bad on imagine tv closure

Pakistani panauti Imagine TV ko kha gayi, affirms Rakhi Sawant
Self-proclaimed item queen of tinsel town Rakhi Sawant is in the state of shock these days and the reason of her agony is the sudden closure of popular television channel Imagine TV.

Few days back it was reported that Imagine TV is all set to shut down soon and it has sent shock waves in the entire television industry and we guess the celebrity, who's the most upset with this turn of events, is none other than Rakhi Sawant, who had grabbed eyeballs in the reality show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar on the channel.

Talking to the sources, Rakhi shares that she's aghast that so many people will lose their jobs because of Imagine TV shutting shop. "Maine channel ko kahan se kahan pahuncha diya tha! I and top channel guys like Samir Nair had worked hard to make my Swayamvar a superhit show with such high TRPS. Par ek Pakistani panauti Imagine TV ko kha gayi! I wish they had not touched her," says she referring to Pakistani actress Veena Malik, whose much-hyped Swayamvar is now in doldrums.

Now, one can easily put on a bet that these words of Rakhi are definite to start a new controversy and we are more than eager to listen what Veena’s reply would be!
