Does opposites attract apply to Arnav and Khushi?

Arnav and Khushi are stranded in a jungle, and Khushi's clothes have been stolen. Khushi's love for food, has brought them both to a dhaba, where people mistake the two for an eloped couple looking at Khushi's bridal attire.

While Khushi's concern for Arnav is palpable when she says she will not let him go, Arnav moves away on realising someone is showing so much care towards him. He breaks into a slight smile before he turns all stern and tells her she should go back , while he goes his way. The precap suggests Khushi would surely pull one of her mad stunts in stopping him and making everyone believe they are indeed man and wife.

Will the solitude, the circumstances and the current situation be instrumental in bringing them together? Why else would Khushi's plan back fire? Why else would ASR allow her to get away with her goofiness and tolerate her? Has destiny begun to play its games?

Needless to say, the two are so diametrically opposite, one would wonder, could love ever be possible between the two. The slight hit and miss moments between them however speak another story. Though the words they utter say a thing, their hearts speak another language. So is this language love? Do opposites really attract?

Happy Birthday Saas Bahu aur Saazish!

This was at a time, when the TV buff in me loved everything about shows, the actors and ring tones of shows title tracks, and couldn't get enough of them. I would often look for a place where I could know things about people and shows I love. It was at a time like this, that I got hooked onto a show called Saas Bahu aur Saazish. 

They would bring us snippets and interviews of people working behind the scenes, mostly actors! Since there was not much written about actors back then either online or in regular papers, I would religiously turn to Saas Bahu aur Saazish each afternoon. With every year they never stopped entertaining us with their raw behind the scene stories of actors and other people behind the camera. It was on SBS where I first learnt that Ashwani Yardi heads Colors. When I saw her interview, something in my heart said, I wish I could be like her, think like her! It was SBS that told me when my favorite actors celebrated their birthdays. When my favorite show ended, Saas Bahu Saazish left no stone unturned to make me cry since they reflected every single emotion I was feeling from with in!!

Today we at Rangmunch, also are trying to bring another face of the TV land, but the seed some where was sown by SBS years ago! Thank You SBS for the attempt and succeeding in it. 

As you celebrate your 7th Birthday today, we only wish there are many more in the years to come ! We always thank you for everything you bring to the audience! Hope we get to see many more facets of yours going forward.

Indrani as Devyani in Maryada..Lekin Kab Tak!!!

Devyani, A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE, is one of the main reasons people watch and relate to Maryada-Lekin Kab Tak. Indrani Haldar has been  beautifully portraying the role of Devyani and today we talk to her about her character in Maryada.

Rangmunch.TV: Devyani as a character has many layers. She is an ideal wife, an ideal Bahu, an ideal sister and above all an ideal mother. However in trying to protect Gaurav from any kind of  humiliation and embarrassment, she gets him married to Vidya. What is Devyani’s justification in doing so and ruining Vidya’s life?

Indrani: As you rightly mentioned, Devyani is a protective mother who is always concerned about her children’s well-being and will go to any extent to ensure that. That is exactly why she got Gaurav married to Vidya. She thought if a girl were to come into her son’s life, he would eventually get attracted to her and change his ways. She wanted to see Gaurav act and react like any other normal guy. She also helped and mentored Vidya to be a perfect wife. However all her efforts turned futile as Gaurav refused to accept Vidya as his wife.

At the moment, Devyani is definitely feeling guilty and miserable for ruining Vidya’s life and putting her through so much pain and trauma. Devyani  understands what she has done is wrong and wants to rectify her mistakes and promises Vidya that from here on she will not be forced to do anything against her will. Devyani is trying to heal Vidya’s bruised soul.

Rangmunch.TV: In the current track we are witnessing  Uttara slowly making her way between Devyani and Bharmanand. What plays in Devyani’s mind everytime she sees Uttara and her husband, Brahmanand Jhakar together and how would she like to address this issue?

Indrani: Yes , Uttara is turning into a Souten(the other woman) as a result of which Devyani even passes a remark saying “Souten banne ki koshish mat karo, behen ho, behen ban kar raho.”( don't try to become the other woman in my life, you are my sister, stay that way). But at the same time, Devyani loves Uttara immensely and holds a soft corner for her since Uttara has faced a lot of hardships in her marriage with Rishabh whom she eventually killed to save herself from physical assault.

Devyani cannot show the door to Uttara because in that case she would be out of her sight and Brahmanand will have the liberty to fulfill all his desires and fantasies unhindered. So at the moment Devyani is trying to make Uttara realize  what she is doing is wrong . Devyani also knows what  Brahmanand is capable of and how he has been exploiting her sister, but whats more frustrating is that Uttara can’t see through it and is falling prey to his wrong intentions.

In the recent episodes, Devyani is shown playing mind games with both Uttara and Brahmanand. She has no other choice but to hurt Uttara in order to let her know what she is doing is wrong and that she is falling into this dark dingy tunnel which has no light at the end. However, in doing so Devyani is not happy since she is hurting and humiliating Uttara in the process. But she cannot let her husband ruin the life of her dear sister, so Devyani will go to any extent to protect Uttara even if it means painting herself completely black.

Rangmunch.TV: Devyani believes that silence is not a sign of weakness but it is a sign of strength. As Indrani do you believe in the same theory?

Indrani: Well, I do believe that sometimes one should stay silent .Not all the time, but yes there are times when silence becomes the need of the hour. If I’m hurt over something, I would keep silent. My silence more than often indicates pain.

Rangmunch.TV: How much of Devyani, has Indrani absorbed over the days?

Indrani: Not much!! (says smiling). Unlike Devyani, I’m independent, extremely confident and very ambitious too. I have been working since the age of 14 and this is is my 25^th year in acting. I have never taken any help from my parents and the success that I enjoy today is the reward of my sheer hard work. I am also very vocal about the way I feel about things that happen around me and do speak up when there is a dire need to be heard. Also my husband Mr. Bhaskar who works for Air India, is my greatest pillar of strength. He immensely respects me and my work. Without his support and encouragement I could not have continued with my career.

The only similarity that I share with Devyani is the love we share for our family, our urge to be together and to share a closely knitted bond. The way Devyani has amazing tolerance power, same is the case with me. I don’t take decisions in a haste and try to be patient when faced with a problem.
