Life starts
after midnight for
Neha Marda
Neha Marda is
 one
of the busiest actresses with two dailies Balika Vadhu and Kissmat
Connection in her kitty. The poor actress has no time
for herself and thus it’s only after midnight she tries to
catch up with her life. She is managing all this without any
complaints. “That’s the time for me to be with my friends.
Mostly if I finish my shoot before midnight, I meet them and
we go for a dinner at any restaurants which are open 24X8
like Marriot or Sun and Sand,” says Neha.
When asked how she manages, the actress replies, “I don’t
like to creep that doing two dailies I don’t get time for my
self. This is the choice that I have made and am happy about
it.”
“In the night I also catch up with movies with
my friends and then have a good dinner. Again in the morning
I am back for my shoots. Sometimes if I get a break for more
than an hour, I call my friends and we go out for a coffee,”
she adds. When do you sleep then? “I sleep in my travelling
time, while shifting from one set to another. For Balika I
am shooting at Vasai and for Kismat Connection I
either shoot at Andheri or Bhandup. So I get time of 1 or 2
hours where I get my sleep. I think this is more than
enough,” she briefs. She surely knows how to balance her
personal as well as professional life.

families are glued to each other by friendship and business.
In order to strengthen families’ tie Malhotra’s daugher’s
marriage had been fixed in Singhania’s family, when she was
still child. But when she grows up, she falls in love with
a Christian boy and marries him. The boy from Singhania
family who she was to marry couldn’t tolerate this and loses
his mental equilibrium. Singhania family holds Malhotras

reestablish the diminishing value of Saat Phere. It is about
the importance of marriage in our life and in our family’s
life.”
Why he has selected Sudip
Pandey for the protagonist’s role. “This role was to be
played by Amit Bahel. I didn’t like his way of working
so….we have to replace him. Sudip is a good actor and very
easy to work.” Tripathi answers simply and succinctly and

A Timeless Saga of Immortal
Love Comes Alive… On Imagine
MEERA
~ The Divine Love Story of Lord Krishna’s staunchest
devotee, the Princess Meerabai, Coming soon only on NDTV
Imagine ~ 
Mumbai, June
15, 2009: It is a story of love in its purest form… of
devotion and dedication… of melody and harmony… brought
alive by televisions’ most renowned storytellers. Imagine
brings to life one of the country’s most loved
classics - the story of the legendry princess
Meerabai, who renounced the luxuries of royal
life and became the greatest devotee of Lord Krishna. This
celestial epic is being recreated for television by Sagar
Pictures for NDTV Imagine.
Meera is the
story of a young Rajput princess whose love and devotion to
Lord Krishna made her give up everything and thus elevated
her to the status of a saint. Legend has it that when young
Meera was just four years of age, she found herself to be
deeply drawn towards Lord Krishna. As she grew older, her
desire to be with her Lord grew more intense and she
resolved to be committed to him forever. Despite being
forced into marriage with another man (Prince Bhoj Raj), she
defied the social norms and continued to worship Lord
Krishna as her lover. She went on to compose many devotional
songs in praise of Lord Krishna which are sung to this day
with great reverence across the country. These bhajans have
been regarded by scholars to be of very high literary value.
Much has been
written about Meera’s life as a
‘jogan’
however the show will explore her life from her childhood
days and the influences and events that led her to become
Meerabai the ‘jogan’.
It will trace the trials and triumphs of this staunch
Krishna bhakt, providing audiences with an insight into the
life of this strong woman, who remains an inspiration to
women even today.
The characters
in Meera will be essayed by a new generation of actors –
Aashika Bhatia all of 9 years will
be seen playing the lead of young Meera, the key characters
of Veer Kunwari (Meera’s mother) will be played by
Gauri Harmit Kaur and Ratan Singh (Meera’s dad) will
be played by Kunal Bakshi respectively.
Paras Arora will be seen playing Meera’s cousin
brother while Twara Desai will be seen playing
Meera’s friend Lalita.
Announcing the
launch of this tale of devotion, Shailja Kejriwal, EVP-
Content, NDTV Imagine said, “It is one of the most
passionate yet pure love stories of our culture. Meerabai’s
music and poetry adds another dimension to this fascinating
tale. Our version of this timeless classic has been
interpreted to cater to the taste of today’s audience and we
aim to tell her story in a persuasive, entertaining manner.
It is truly a story that has been waiting to be told! ”
Commenting on
the show Moti Sagar, Sagar Pictures said, “Much
legend has been gathered around the name of Meera and we are
really happy to be able to present her story to Indian
audiences through this show. The story of Meera is a classic
example of love so pure that it goes beyond all artificial
boundaries that human beings create. The show will project
Meera’s life right since childhood within a setting of
authentic detailing and classic costumes.”
Catch the saga
of Meera coming soon only on NDTV Imagine.
Double
century for Bandhan
On 15th of May
Shakuntalam Film's Bandhan Saat Janamon Ka a show on colors
co mpleted
its 200 episodes but rather than being happy the whole crew
was quite sad as they got the news that the show is going
off air next month. We called up Gunjan the lead of the show
and she said, “We all had a small celebration. We cut the
cake but actually nobody was in a mood for the celebration
as we all got to know that the show is going off air. I am
very sad and I am going to miss the show very much as this
is the show which has given me all the recognition. I am
going to miss my name a lot that’s “Jhanvi” and also the
whole cast and crew. I am going to miss my producers and
directors. And now as the show is going off air I have
become unemployed and looking for a new show now.”
Though happy with the completion
of 200 episodes scriptwriter of the show Sampurn Anand also
seemed to be in a sad mood, “the show was very close to my
heart as the storyline of the show was on dowry and how
women gets exploited because of that. I being from a small
town and especially from Bihar have come across many such
incidents so I know how bad it is .I have been writing the
show right from the beginning and it feels really nice that
the show has completed 200 episodes. When we started the
show on the time slot of 7.30p.m., we had no idea that the
show will have such good TRP’s at this time slot. I think
because of Bandhan even other shows realized that timeslot
doesn’t matter, what matters is the content and the
storyline. Everyone is sad that the show is going off air
but I guess the producers don’t want to stretch it much
unnecessarily because the original story has already got
over.”

’Mahima
Shani Dev Ki’ Mein Ab Dekhiye Shani Shingnapur Ki
Kahaniyaan
~ Now watch the
significance and miracles of Lord Shani only on NDTV
Imagine~
Starting next week NDTV
Imagine’s
mythological classic
Mahima Shani Dev Ki
will now narra te
a new chapter and will air once in a week for one hour.
The show will dwell on the legend and
significance of the famous shrine of Lord Shani at
Shingnapur and will take the viewers through the miracles
associated with the temple and the inhabitants of the
village. This interesting saga unfolds on
Mahima Shani Dev Ki
every Saturday
at 8pm only
on Imagine.
From dispelling the negative myth around Lord Shani through
the trials and tribulations faced by King Vikramaditya to
the story of Shani’s birth and his parents, the story now
moves into Shani’s miracles on earth. It is believed that
Shani Dev came down to earth in human form during Kalyug, as
all Gods, in a mission to establish justice and
righteousness in Mrityulok where matters had deteriorated
for mankind. Shani decided to come down to earth and reside
in Shingnapur in Maharashtra. Thus the story and history of
Shingnapur in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra became
a vital part of the life story of Shani.
At this juncture, Shailja
Kejriwal, EVP- Content, NDTV Imagine said,
“Mahima Shani Dev Ki re-defined story telling with its
collection of interesting tales that breaks the myth behind
Shani Dev and will now highlight the miracles of the deity
and the significance of Shani Shinganapur.”
Highlighting the thought behind the series’ extension,
Shiv Sagar,
Creative Director, Sagar Arts,
said, “Till now we have shown Shani Dev’s
childhood, the agony he went through and the exceptional
powers he was blessed with. Going forward it is the
contemporary story of the divine presence of Shani and the
life changing miracles which would be brought on screen.
When I first visited the Shani Shinganapur temple, its
grandeur, its stature and its enigma, made me feel its power
and that is one of the key reasons why we decided to make a
show on Shani Dev. We have cleared the misconceptions about
Shaani and tried to portray him in the right perspective and
will continue to do so more effectively through this
chapter.”
Daya Shankar Pandey,
who plays Lord Shani, said, “I have been told that Shani
Dev is very favorably placed in my chart and I am sure this
role in the serial is a gift he has bestowed on me. In my
opinion, Shani Dev is a teacher, disciplining the mighty and
the weak to be humble and honest. It was a life-altering
role for me to play the role of the deity himself and gives
me great please to be a part of this epic. ”
Watch this and many more mystifying mahima’s of Shani Dev as
Sagar Arts takes Mahima Shani Dev Ki to an
eventful turn now every Saturday at 8pm
only on Imagine.
