Swami Agnivesh finds Bigg Boss 5 cool

Bigg Boss 5 started with one male and 13 female contestants but the lack of excitement and masala coaxed the production house and the channel to add other male celebs. And the temperature rose courtesy the additions, as the male-female combination helped create some spicy situations.

This gave the media a lot more to write about the goings-on in the Bigg Boss 5house. With the spats and quarrels now increasing, the show's producers believe they need to cool things down and hence the decision to bring in social activist Swami Agnivesh to be a special guest on the show.

When tellychakkar.com, spoke to the Swami, he had his Bigg Boss goals clear in his mind. In fact, he has done his homework and has watched three episodes of the show. He says he would like to give the inmates some gyan on the benefits of a vegetarian diet, yoga, meditation and would like to convey a social message toBigg Boss 5 viewers.

However, what we are concerned about are the few things that we think Swami Agnivesh won’t be able to handle inside the house. Firstly, the irrational behavior of the inmates and then the revealing outfits of the female contestants.

The Swami brushes this off by saying it's all in a day's work. Says he: “I am used to both of them. In fact, I have been in worse situations.” He believes that the cacophony that constitutes the Indian parliament today makes the Big Boss 5house look like kids' stuff. Then, he points to the scantily clad pinup girls in newspapers and on TV shows, which once again make the dresses that the inmates wear look rather sedate.

However, he is quite clear that he is not going to get into the hurly-burly of activities and tasks in the house which Bigg Boss assigns. He says quite lucidly: "I am going there as a guest and I hope that I won’t have to do any of this."

Fans cried when I went out, my comeback in Uttaran will make them smile, says Rohit Khurana

Tellychakkar.com was the first to break the news of Rohit Khurana making a comeback in Colors' Uttaran. He played the character of Vansh earlier and after his comeback he will look like Vansh but he won’t be Vansh but some other man. Sounds confusing? Well, welcome to the world of Indian fiction television.

"Yes, I am making a comeback in Uttaran and you'll have to wait and watch what I do this time," Rohit Khurana goes on record for the first time.

Rohit gained immense popularity with Vansh. But his role was cut short after he died in the show. However, now that he is making a comeback, critics believe that he will once again manage to impress the masses with his acting prowess. "When I had decided to play Vansh I had no idea that the character will become so famous. I have always given my best and never thought of the outcome. This time also I will work really hard and rest will depend on God and destiny."

Vansh’s character cannot be exactly tagged as a negative or positive one. It had varied shades which made it unique and poignant. "Some thought it was negative and some called it positive. It doesn’t really matter as long as I am being loved by everyone. But my fans will be in for a lot more excitement and drama this time," said Rohit with a grin.

Rohit's exit from Uttaran covered his fans with an air of despair. In fact, there were many who stopped watching the show after Vansh’s death.

"Viewers and fans had tears in their eyes during my exit. Now my comeback will bring smile to their lips," said the actor.

Furthermore, though Rohit did not have much time to watch Uttaran later on, but he confesses that he keeps meeting its cast and crew at different award functions and parties.

"I was busy shooting for Dor, so I kept busy. But whenever at leisure, I make it a point to watch Uttaran. Last time I watched it, Ichcha had delivered a baby boy but she was told that her child is dead. Nani played some tricks and finally
Tapasya got the baby boy. Well, lots of drama it seems," ends Rohit.

Fans of Rohit and we at Tellychakkar are waiting for Rohit’s re-entry. We shall keep you posted on further developments!!!!

Mallika to create problems for Nidhi in Kuch To Log Kahenge

Rajan Shahi's Kuch Toh Log Kahenge is being loved by the masses, thanks to the warm and genial chemistry between Dr. Ashutosh (Mohnish Behl) and Dr. Nidhi(Kritika Kamra). The show, which is a remake of the famous Pakistani sitcomDhoop Kinaare, has managed to cater to the interests of varied age groups. TV viewers love Mohnish Behl's subtle and classy style of dialogue delivery and Kritika Kamra's bubbly and delightful presence on the screen.

Furthermore, in the upcoming episodes, Dr Nidhi will face some problems in the hospital. Viewers have already seen that Dr. Ashutosh has met with an accident and Nidhi desperately wanted to meet him. However, her best friend Angi (Ishita Sharma) stopped her and told her to reconsider her feelings for Dr. Ashutosh. Nidhi is subconsciously in love with him. Meanwhile, Dr. Mallika (Rukhsar) will learn about Nidhi's feelings and she will try her best to stop her from meeting Ashutosh.

On the other hand, Dr. Mallika is upset with the fact that Ashutosh has turned down her marriage proposal. She is jealous of the growing affinity between Nidhi and Ashutosh.

"While Ashutosh will remain bed-ridden after the accident, Mallika will take charge of duties in the hospital. In order to trouble Nidhi, Mallika will make her work overtime. She will see to it that Nidhi keeps too busy and doesn't get time to meet Ashutosh," revealed a gossip cop from the sets.

But being the female lead of a daily soap, Nidhi will manage to ward off all hurdles and meet Ashutosh. "It will be a treat to watch Nidhi's mischievous tricks to get out of the situation."

We talked to effervescent Kritika who said "Nidhi is in the process of realising her love for Ashutosh. Upcoming episodes will be interesting to watch."

Nidhi is pining, Dr Ashutosh. Get well soon and start dancing with her under the trees. Viewers will love it. What say???

Chalo chale Chidiya Ghar dekhne

SAB TV is on a role this New Year season. First, they launched SAB ka Evening Show which will air maha episodes of comic short films every weekend started from 5 November 2011. And now they have come up with another rib-tickling showChidiya Ghar. Well, well, the channel is not promoting animal welfare here. It is a daily soap produced by Garima Productions. Chidiya Ghar will be a light-hearted comedy serial with a special message conveyed at the end of every episode.

Starring Debina Bonerjee (first seen as Sita in Sagar Art's Ramayan oppositeGurmeet Choudhary) and Shilpa Shinde (famous as Soni from Zee TV’s classicMaayka- Saath Zindagi Bha) the show is scheduled to go on air on 28 November 2011. Promos have been shot and it will hit the screens shortly. Chidiya Ghar will revolve around a joint family wherein the two bahus (Debina and Shilpa) will manage the household affairs.

In the very first episode, the family will be shown in a dilemma over naming their house. After a lot of contemplation, the two bahus will suggest Chidiya Ghar, a name coined keeping in mind their late mother-in-law’s name, Chidiya.

"Housemates will be initially amused to keep such a funny name. But as they say, every human has an animal side. Unconsciously the name will suggest different behavioral patterns of every housemate," informed a source to us.

"It is fun to be a part of such a breezy series. I am thoroughly enjoying myself. Hope the viewers like the show," said an excited Shilpa Shinde.

Furthermore, the world of fiction might be replete with funny and comic elements, but situation’s a bit diverse in the real world. After Ashwini Dhir’s Lapataganj, set ofChidiya Ghar, situated in Vrindavan Studio at Madh Island, was demolished by the BMC officials. The set is now shifted to Film City wherein construction is currently on. However, the demolition act has brought no shift in plans and the show will go on air on its scheduled date.

All we can say is that this is one Chidiya Ghar where animals will not only dance but sing and talk as well. What fun!!!!
