Folk Singer Malini Awasthi To Make A Special Appearance In Kuch Toh Log Kahenge

 

Ashutosh and Nidhi’s engagement is over. Both Dr Ashutosh and Nidhi are now eagerly waiting for the day when they will finally get married. As you might know, in Indian culture, there are a number of rituals that are performed by the relatives of both, the bride and the bride groom. One of these rituals is the “Mehandi Rasm (मेहंदी रस्म)”, in which Henna (or Mehandi) is applied on Bride’s skin (particularly on the hands and the feet). Famous folk singer Malini Awasthi is making a guest appearance in the show to enhance the glory of Dr Nidhi’s Mehandi Celebration. Saas Bahu Aur Betiyaan (A TV show about TV serials that airs on the Hindi News Channel Aaj Tak) showed us the on location scenes of the shoot. Here is the video-:

Saas Bahu Aur Betiyaaan (Aaj Tak)

Now when so much is happening on the sets, Sony’s indifferent approach towards the show is really unjustifiable. When Sony can promote its other serials, such as “Dekha Ek Khwab” and “Kya Hua Tera Vaada” , even on other networks, why can’t it promote "Kuch Toh Log Kahenge” ? Is there any kind of rift between the producers and the channel ?

Ashutosh and Nidhi Get Engaged,……But Is Rohan the New Mallika Now…?

Finally after after a lot of struggle that they did to convince Nidhi’s family, Dr Ashutosh and Dr Nidhi Verma got engaged. Lets just recapitulate what we saw in the last few episodes. Rohan confessed that he had fallen in love with Nidhi. While, Col. Verma, Dadi Bua, and all other family members were happy to learn that, Nidhi felt very distressed on coming to know that her best friend, whom she trusted the most has fallen in love with her, knowing that she is already in a relationship with Dr Ashutosh. To come out of this stressful situation Nidhi decided to go Europe. It was not made clear weather she was going just for a period of time for introspection or to permanently settle down there. Well whatever, this proposed Europe trip made me nostalgic of the golden initial episodes of the show, when Nidhi was going Europe for a one month tour with her baba, and then an unknown force (her love for Dr Ashutosh) kept her from going. Anyways, coming back to the current story, Dr Mathur (Dr Ashutosh’s Baba and Nidhi’s Grandfather) also visited Nidhi’s place to talk to her father about the relationship of Nidhi and Ashutosh. There he encountered Col. Verma, with whom his daughter Nandani (or Guddi) had married, without caring about his approval of the relationship. Dr Mathur tried to convince Col. Verma not to commit a mistake, he himself had committed in the past by abandoning his daughter Nandani because she had married against his will. Here Dr Mathur also came to know that Dr Nidhi is his Granddaughter. Dr Mathur was perhaps successful to change the  Col. Verma’s heart. So, before Nidhi could board the flight to Europe, Col. Verma came to the scene and declared that he had no objection with her relationship with Dr Ashutosh. After Nidhi’s father’s approval of the relationship, both Nidhi and Ashutosh were on the ninth cloud. The very next day Col. Verma visited Ashutosh’s place to fix the date for the engagement ceremony. Rohan, who as the only person not happy about the relationship, tried to show the grey side of his character by hiding the engagement ring. But very soon he realised his mistake, and the engagement ceremony went on smoothly. Thus finally, the two lovebirds got engaged. But will they marry ? Will the wedding ceremony be completed as smoothly as the engagement ceremony ? Or will Rohan play some tricks ? Sharad Kelkar, who plays Ashutosh, recently told the media that, he can only confirm that Nidhi and Ashutosh will get engaged (they have engaged in fact), but refused to comment on weather they will marry or not.
Rohan (played by Karan Wahi) , these days, has become the most prominent character in the serial these days. This is because it is only up to Rohan, weather to allow Nidhi and Ashutosh’s marriage to go on, or to cause any hindrance. Lets see what Rohan does ? Will he play a new Mallika ?   

Why is Sony Not Promoting KTLK (Kuch Toh Log Kahenge)…?

 

It’s been more than 15 days since I saw a KTLK ad (or promo) on TV. While Sony TV seems to be very excited to promote its thriller series “CID” and “Crime Petrol”, (it should be so, as while the former has been ranked by many as one of the best TV series in the history of Indian Television and has been running continuously for the last 15 years, the later is doing quite a nice job at highlighting the social issues of our society), its most popular soap, “Bade Achche Lagate Hai” and “Saas Bina Sasuraal”, which topped the TRP charts before being shifted to the 9 PM time slot; Sony is not showing any interest in “Kuch Toh Log Kahenge”, which, when launched was expected to be Sony’s biggest triumph card. Considering “Doop Kinare’s”success (for those who don’t know KTLK’s story is based on “Dhoop Kinare”, a Pakistani drama that aired on PTV about 25 years ago), and its dependable caste, which initially included the veteran actor Mohnish Bahl and a bubbly new comer Kritika Kamra, who had gained fame from her role of “Aarohi” in Imagine TV’s “Kitni Mohabbate Hai” . This indifferent approach of SET India towards the show might be attributed to the low TRPs that the show received right from the day one. The show never reached even the 2 TVRs mark and The latest TRP of the show is 0.8. TRPs have been constantly falling since Sharad Kelkar replaced Mohnish Bahl as Dr Ashutosh.

Does that mean KTLK (Kuch Toh Log Kahenge) is nearing end…?

A few days ago there was a rumour that KTLK (Kuch Toh Log Kahenge) and “Dekha Ek Khwab” might go off air to make room for Indian Idol 6. But Sony’s Business Head Ms Sneha Rajani rubbished the rumour on Twitter. Here is a snapshot of her tweet.

This tweet might give KTLK fans a sigh of relief. But this relief is going to be a very short lived one. This is because, recently Amitabh Bachchan had a meeting with Sony officials. I think you’d have got it !… Right ? Anyway, if you didn’t, I’d like to inform you that the meeting was about fixing dates for KBC-6 (Kaun Banega Corerpati 6) shooting . So, after Indian Idol 6, KBC 6 is all set to pose danger for KTLK.

First Indian Idol 6 will go on air replacing Comedy Circus (if reports are to be believed), and then after a couple of months (may be sometime in August or September ), KBC 6 is expected to hit the screen. Now, since “Dekha Ek Khwab” and KTLK are not doing very good (in terms of TRPs), there is all possibility that Sony might take a decision to take these shows off air. Well whatever happens…..lets hope for the best.

That's all for now ! But stay in touch. I’ll be posting even more interesting buzz & trivia about the show.

Dr Ashutosh Meets His Baba…

 

In the last few episodes we saw that Dr Ashutosh’s Baba (Dr Mathur a.k.a. Alok Nath) is an Alzheimer's Patient at Jeevan Sandhya Nursing Home. And coincidently Dr Nidhi is the doctor who is looking after him there. Due to Alzheimer's, he does not remember anything about his past. One day he tries to remember something about his house, a blurred image just flashes and then disappears. Then he goes out with Dr Nidhi to try and find his house. And finally, amidst frightening thunderstorms they reach the same old house. Now Dr Nidhi understands that her patient is non other than her beloved Ashutosh’s Baba.

On the other hand Mallika tries to blackmail Ashutosh. She asks him to marry her to fulfil the promise that he had made when she gifted Baba’s house to him.

Well, that’s the story so far, but; Now What ? What can we expect in the coming episodes of KTLK ? Dr Ashutosh is sure to meet his Baba, as the scenes have been shot and will be aired in a couple of days. There are also reports that Dr Ashutosh will himself shave his Baba’s long beard. But, at the same time there are a number of side stories as well. Rohan has recently fallen in love with Dr Nidhi, Mallika has gifted the old house to Ashutosh and has taken all the credit, Nidhi and Ashutosh have taken pledge not to fall in love again, a new character Jagan has come all the way from US, and last but not the least, Angi-Ranganath story. It would be very interesting to see how Nidhi reacts when she gets to know that her best friend Rohan has fallen in love with her…?, and what will be Dr Ashutosh’s reaction when he will come to know that Sandeep Bakchi was Mallika’s agent…?

Whatever happens in the the future episodes, one thing good for the serial has already happened. Guess what… ? Our jolly and ever smiling Dr Nidhi has returned. Yes ! Dr Ashutosh’s Baba has been quite successful in making Nidhi feel happy. Recently, when she rushed to Dr Kotnis General Hospital to tell Dr Ashutosh that her Alzheimer's Patient (who is in fact Dr Ashutosh’s Baba) was a neurologist and might have an acquaintance with him, her entire body language (the way she barged into Dr Ashutosh’s cabin, started telling him about her patient and then took up the glass of water on his table, without feeling the need of any formalities) made me nostalgic of the good old days when Dr Nidhi Verma was working as an intern at Dr Kotnis General Hospital. I think the story makers have finally figured out what is actually beneficial for the show.

 That's all for now ! But stay in touch. I’ll be posting even more interesting buzz & trivia about the show.

Rohan’s Character To Turn Grey…

 

Karan Wahi a.k.a. Rohan, who has so far been playing a positive character in the serial, might soon be seen in a grey character. Yes ! you got it right he’ll play quite the same role in Nidhi’s life, that Mallika plays in Dr Ashutosh’s life.

In an interview Karan revealed that his character (Rohan) will become possessive about Nidhi and will ultimately fall in love with her. As you might expect these changes in the feelings of Rohan will be portrayed slowly and smoothly. Rohan will feel jealous seeing Nidhi walking with Dr Ashutosh hand in hand.

It’ll be very interesting to see how Kamlesh Pandey portrays the entire situation; well there is also a possibility of a love triangle here…! .So there is a lot of emotional drama waiting for you in the coming episodes of KTLK. Keep watching KTLK Mon-Fri at 8 PM, 11 PM and 12 Noon only on Sony.(Please note that from 02-04-12 the repeat telecast of KTLK is being aired at 12 Noon instead od 3 PM)

That's all for now ! But stay in touch. I’ll be posting even more interesting buzz & trivia about the show.
