Amitabh Bachchan salutes KBC big winners' determination, intelligence

“There was a mission in the manner in which they approached the game,” says Amitabh Bachchan marvelling at the “effort” and “determination” of the two brothers from Delhi who cracked the “highest honour on KBC”.

The Narula brothers - Achin and Sarthak, in their 20s - became the first to hit the jackpot by winning the maximum prize money of Rs 7 crore in a special edition of the eighth edition of the reality game show KBC ('Kaun Banega Crorepati'), leaving the show's host in awe.

“There was a mission in the manner in which they approached the game. Right from the very start, they went about it in a manner that was simply exemplary,” Big B said while sharing his thoughts Saturday on his blog.
Most importantly the duo may have used up all their Lifelines, but they had the answer even before they asked for help.

“And that was the beauty of their effort. In my view they never needed any help from the Lifelines - they had all the answers, perfectly worked out, analysed and well-thought out,” wrote Amitabh adding that they had a strong motto to win the game.

The brothers played the game to win the big prize and bear the expenses for the treatment of their mother who is suffering from ovarian cancer.

“What a moment of pride for their father, who had to sell the house they all stayed in to be able to feed the family after it suffered a setback in their business. What an effort and determined mind to be able to crack the highest honour in KBC … ,” he wrote eulogising the brothers.

Congratulating the duo, Big B further said that they proved to the world that “perseverance is the motto for ultimate success”.

“The brothers had been trying to come to this Hot Seat for the past 14 years, from the first time that KBC was played in 2000. And yesterday after many failed attempts, they not just came, but became iconic figures in the history of television in the entire wide world,” wrote the 71-year-old.
The show airs on Sony Entertainment Television and is produced by Big Synergy.

Zee TV's Jamai Raja
Sandit Tiwari quits Zee TV's Jamai Raja


Actor Sandit Tiwari seems to be at a ‘creative loss’ after being disappointed at his track not shaping up well in Zee TV’s popular show, Jamai Raja (Grazing Goat Pictures). The result of this is that he has ‘quit’ the show, after having a word with the concerned people in the channel and the production house.

Sandit, who essays the role of Prashant, Sid’s (Ravi Dubey) closest friend was actually promised the role of a parallel lead. His character was supposed to wed Sid’s sister, and thereby get a prominent track in the show. However, nothing of this happened, and this apparently made Sandit take this decision.

When contacted, Sandit confirmed the news to Tellychakkar.com saying, “Yes, I was creatively not satisfied with the way my character shaped up in Jamai Raja. Hence I decided to quit the show. However, I must say that I have made lot of friends on the set of the show, and would love to work with them again.”

We hear that Sandit has not been shooting for the show from last week.
Incidentally, Sandit had also quit his earlier serial Mahi Sagar on Big Magic wherein he played the lead role. 
We hope Sandit’s next outing on TV will keep him ‘creatively happy’.

The talented duo, as reported in the media, has been signed to play a couple in Sagar Pictures’ upcoming show on Zee TV, tentatively titled Jamai Raja.

Star One's Pyaar Kii Yeh Ek Kahaani gang
Reunion time for Pyaar Kii Yeh Ek Kahaani gang

 
You were a gang, worked, ate and frolicked together on the sets of the show. And then the show went off air, but the bonhomie remained intact. And in this hectic life, how do you meet and relive those days of frolicking on the sets? By holding reunion parties. 

Yes, we are talking about the cast and crew of the superbly famous Star One show, Pyaar Kii Yeh Ek Kahaani (Balaji Telefilms).

The supernatural series changed lives for not only its viewers but for the cast members as well. Love blossomed between actors Vahbbiz Dorabjee-Vivian Dsena and Kishwer Merchant, Suyyash Rai. 
Furthermore, Sukirti Kandpal, Rithvik Dhanjani, Siddhant Karnick went on to become household names.

On and off the actors keep meeting via reunions and they met at Villa 69, Juhu yesterday.
Except for Sukirti, almost everyone namely Kishwer, Suyyash, Rithvik, Asha Negi (not a part of the cast but Rithvik’s girlfriend), Vahbbiz, Vivian, Siddhant, Naved, Tanvi, Priya, Anupam, and Papiya were present in the reunion.

Even after three years since it went off air, viewers still remember the cold skinned sophisticated vampires and their born enemies, werewolves.

“It is not often that actors who worked in a show keep in touch after it goes off air. But we often see each other,” said Kishwer Merchant.

Kishwer played the role of vampire Hasina Raichand in the show. “Vahbbiz and I planned the whole reunion thing, made a Whatsapp group and somehow carried it off even amidst busy schedules.”

Says Vahbbiz, “The show was popular not only because of the track but also due to the wonderful personal equations. Since everyone was busy with their shooting schedules it was really difficult to get them all together. But somehow Kishwer and I managed it. We are partners in crime.”

So will there be a season 2 for this most loved show? “I definitely hope so. Everyone wants it so badly. Audience and team members alike,” says Rithvik Dhanjani who played werewolf Jeh Khurana.

Post Pyaar Kii…the actor went on to bag notable roles with Balaji Telefilims and won Nach Baliye season 6 along with his girlfriend. “So much happened for me career wise after this show,” adds Rithvik.

Finally, Siddhant shares, “The vampire character I played that of Siddharth Mehra is one of my favorite. I met a lot of good people, made friends, connected with them. Last night was so much fun and everyone relived their memories. All the cast members want the show back."

He adds jokingly, “Know what, I kept the fangs back. Sometimes I wear it and drive around in the car at night.”

Here are some pictures of the celebration.
