Nivedita Basu compares Star Plus show Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii to Ramayan; says, “It is the Baghban of Indian television”

Amongst the era of TV Czarina Ekta Kapoor, many of the shows, especially on Star Plus remained to be iconic. In fact, owing to fans’ demand, the channel recently even revived some of its most popular shows and amongst them was Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii which featured Sakshi Tanwar as the sanskaari daughter-in-law with Kiran Karmarkar as her husband along with Shweta Kawatra as the vamp daughter-in-law and Ali Asgar as her better half. Speaking about the return of the show, Nivedita Basu, who has been one of the creative directors for most of these Balaji Telefilms shows, shared her opinion stating that the show is a modern take of Ramayan.

Nivedita Basu compares Star Plus show Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii to Ramayan; says, “It is the Baghban of Indian television”

Speaking about the Star Plus show and its popularity, Nivedita Basu said, “Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii is a modern take on Ramayan. It holds relevance even today. Every Indian household has watched it and the soaring TRPs when it aired on the tube were proof of it. Everyone drew parallels between the characters they resonated with on the show. It is the Baghban (the 2003 Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini starrer) of Indian television. It teaches you the importance of family values, retaining goodness around evil, and how evil turns good eventually. Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii is a forever thing.”

Several popular shows have returned with a new season. When asked if KGGK should be remade, she responded, “The USP of the show is its cast — Sakshi Tanwar, Kiran Karmarkar, Rinku Dhawan, and Shweta Kawaatra. I don’t know how sound the idea of recreating it is as the audience would still look for the original cast they connected with so strongly. For now, a re-run would do the job, as the audiences love it.”

“The good part of being in Balaji Telefilms for 15 years is that I was associated with each and every show, including Kyunki, Kahaani, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Koshish, Ghar Ek Mandir, Kkusum, Kkavyanjali, and Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki. I have been part of the creative team that worked on feature films, storytelling, and the background score of every show. I feel proud that Ekta made me such a big part of her production house and I can proudly say that I have seen the rise of Balaji and how Ekta has worked hard to turn it into such an empire,” concluded Nivedita.

Salman Khan likely to revert to original title of Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali; wants to avoid cultural-specific community-identifying film title Bhaijaan

Salman Khan is being advised rather seriously to revert to his old title  Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali for his  new production family drama featuring Salman and Pooja Hegde in the lead.

Salman Khan likely to revert to original title of Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali; wants to avoid cultural-specific community-identifying film title Bhaijaan

Lately, the project is being known as  Bhaijaan. But close friends have advised  Salman to not go by the title Bhaijaan as it conveys a very ethnic feeling.

“The film is about the one-ness of  all Indians, irrespective of caste or culture. To call the film by  a  culture-specific  title seems incongruous . The film was originally called Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, and that’s the title that Salman is likely to  adhere to,” says  a  source close to the project.

Of late, cultural-specific, community-identifying film titles are being  shunned.

Julianna Margulies to return for third season of The Morning Show starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon

Apple TV+ on Monday announced that Julianna Margulies is set to return for season three of the Emmy Award-winning, critically acclaimed Apple Original series, The Morning Show. Following her widely celebrated performance as ‘Laura Peterson,’ an anchor at UBA News, Margulies will return and reprise her role for season three — starring alongside a star-studded cast that includes recently announced new addition Jon Hamm. The third season of the critically acclaimed, award-winning series, executive produced and starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, and produced by Media Res, is currently in production.

SRK asks Aryan to send him the photos with Suhana and AbRam: ‘Give them to me now’

The Morning Show is an Emmy, SAG and Critics Choice Award-winning series starring and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, executive produced by Mimi Leder, and executive produced by Michael Ellenberg, and produced by the studio Media Res, Hello Sunshine and Echo Films. The broadly acclaimed second season recently received Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, Reese Witherspoon; Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, Billy Crudup, who also won the award for season one; and, Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series, Marcia Gay Harden.

Season three of the The Morning Show will be showrun and executive produced by Charlotte Stoudt (“Fosse/Verdon,” “Homeland,” “House of Cards”), who has a multi-year overall deal with Apple TV+ for scripted television series. The series is executive produced by Michael Ellenberg through Media Res, along with Aniston and Kristin Hahn through Echo Films; Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter through Hello Sunshine. Leder serves as executive producer and director.

Picking up after the explosive events of season one, season two found The Morning Show team emerging from the wreckage of Alex (Aniston) and Bradley’s (Witherspoon) actions, to a new UBA and a world in flux, where identity is everything and the chasm between who we present as and who we really are comes into play. Along with Aniston and Witherspoon, the star-studded cast for season two was led by Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Bel Powley, Desean Terry, Janina Gavankar, Tom Irwin and Marcia Gay Harden. New additions for season two included Greta Lee, Ruairi O’Connor, Hasan Minhaj, Holland Taylor, Tara Karsian, Valeria Golino and Julianna Margulies.

Seasons one and two of The Morning Show are now streaming globally on Apple TV+. In its first season, Crudup’s performance as Corey Ellison earned an Emmy win in the Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category, in addition to a Critics Choice Award. Aniston’s powerful performance as Alex Levy, earned a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series. The series also received nominations from the Television Critics Association for Outstanding New Program and a TV Choice Award for Best New Drama.

Shilpa Shetty shares a spirited video of her stretching from her post-fracture routine, watch video

Shilpa Shetty has it all with her absolute fitness regime. But the actress, unfortunately, had to take a break from her routine on account of her accident. Shetty recently met with an accident on the sets of Indian Police Force. She also took it to social media to share a picture of her fractured leg and humorously captioned it – “They said, Roll camera action – “break a leg!” I took it literally. Out of action for 6 weeks, but I’ll be back soon stronger and better. Till then, dua mein yaad rakhiyega. Prayers always work. With gratitude, Shilpa Shetty Kundra.”

Shilpa Shetty shares a spirited video of her stretching from her post-fracture routine, watch video

After a good 10-day recovery buffer, the actress shared another video of her practicing stretches and being the mindful yogi she is.
‘Pair Toota Hai, Himmat nahi. Yoga se hi Hoga,’ she affirmed as she practiced some soft stretches on her supporting chair. She shared the video on Instagram, giving us yet another reason to smile at her spirit and positivity. She captioned her video as – “After 10 days of resting in, I realised… no reason is good enough to not stretch. So, even though the injury needs me to take it easy for a few weeks, inactivity can make you rusty????????‍♀So… I decided to practice the routine of Parvatasana, followed by Utthita Parsvakonasana, and concluded with Bharadwajasana. Anyone who is unable to sit on the floor, or is suffering from knee or back pain can do these stretches on the chair. These asanas are beneficial to strengthen & improve the flexibility of the spine & the back muscle, and are also helpful for the digestive system. However, the third pose ‘Bharadwajasana (twisting pose)’ should be avoided during pregnancy. Don’t let anything get in the way of your routine. You can overcome the biggest hurdles simply by believing YOU CAN and having the WILL to change things.”

She shared some helpful yoga postures with her fans and recited the need to be mindful at all times. The Baazigar fame actress never fails to spread her positive aura with her resilience, giving her fans a wonderful insight into her spiritual being.

The actress is currently prepping up for her roles in Sukhee, and her web debut in Rohit Shetty’s Indian Police Force alongside Siddharth Malhotra.
