Here is an audio conversation between Abhaas Mehta aka Shyaam from Iss Pyaar ko Kya Naam Doon! Its an informal conversation where he talks about his role, himself as well as what he as Abhaas thinks of Shyaam. Please leave your comments behind, to let us know if you like the interview and also let us know what you thought of the format.

Niharika: Let me congratulate you on playing Shyam really well ?

Niharika : People  hate Shyam but love Abhaas... What  is the funda  behind it ?

Abhaas : ( Laughingly)...People love Abhaas, thats really good.They are supposed to hate. Shyam with the story going the way it is .I am glad people are hating him which means I'm doing my job well

Niharika : Now lets talk a little about Abhaas, Shyam and what Abhaas 's thoughts are on  Shyam?We'll do this segment  in 3 part....First is the 5 W's.....

Abhaas: Ok..go on ...

Niharika : How did you land up in this role ?

Abhaas: The production house called long back when i was doing a show for Colors which unfortunately  didn't air..Once they called me again  , i went and auditioned for the character of Arnav.But the channel felt i was more suited for Shyam and hence got the role.

Niharika: When did you learn Shyam is going to turn negative ?

Abhaas :I always knew that he would be a negative character.I enjoy playing negative roles.

Niharika: What made you take up the role ?

Abhaas : In Indian Tv, there is always extreme cases..be it extreme positive or extreme negative.There never has been a middle way. Shyam ,I felt had grey to him and i liked that about him.He is not evil  or vampish but just that he cant help himself finding love outside  of marriage.He is like a meethi churi...a flamboyant charmer...

Niharika : Where did you audition for this role ?

Abhaas : It was on MJHT sets..

Niharika : Why is Shyam so mysterious ?

Abhaas : Earlier there was no identity to Shyam so all was very mysterious, but now things will start to unfold as the story progresses..

Niharika: As a fan i would like to say that your entry in Dabaang style was too cool ...

Abhaas : Yes, that was the best part of the show..It was shot over 2 days and that too next to my house. I have never done anything like this so thoroughly enjoyed it .

Niharika : 5 Questions on Abhaas ..?

Birthday : 10th Jan
Hometown : Mumbai
Family : I have a short sweet family ...my dad, my mom ,  and my sister...
What does your family say about your bad boy role : immediate family is happy but extended family is disappointed ...( laughs)
What have friends have to say : They teased about my entry but all love what Im doing . I even force my friends to watch my show even if they don't want too ...( laughing about it )

Niharika :If not an actor you would be ....

Abhaas : Well i am a lawyer...so Professionally i do that too ...

Niharika : Where did you study Law ?

Abhaas: The Indian law School...

Niharika : Now we come to our last segment called " Real to Reel "
               What does Abhaas thinks about Shyam :

Abhaas: I really look upto Shyam , not in the  ways he is going about women but the charmer he is..the way he is able to convince everyone and mould their thoughts the way he wants  , is amazing . Wish I could do that ...

Niharika : What would you do if you fell in love after being married ?

Abhaas : Thats a difficult question. If that hap penes then a  marriage is definately lacking something. Personally i don't believe in dragging things if they don't have a meaning .I would react depending on the situation.

Niharika: With Khushi , is Shyam in love or is infatuated ?

Abhaas : Shyam is in love with Khushi. Audiences are naming it lust as Shyam is married ..but Shyam is truly in love with Khushi...what he does for Khushi is out of love and not lust .

Niharika: Does Anjali deserve Shyam ?

Abhaas: Nooo, never..she is the sweetest soul on the show ..hope she gets someone better as the story moves forward.

Niharika: Does he love his wife ?

Abhaas:He does and he cannot see her sad , on the same hand he loves Khushi too ...as he justifyies this as he believes he is not making anyone sad .That is his belief ...when the belief turns into obsession will be interesting to see.

Niharika: Who is your favorite character on the show ?

Abhaas : hahahaha... well it has to be " hello hi bye bye.. the mami...her dialect is super and she picks on punches real fast...love that about her ...second undoubtedly would be " nand kisore" ..bhuaji...she is a fabulous actor and has taken the character to a different level altogether .

Niharika:What makes a relationship work , whether it is love or friendship ?

Abhaas: 3 things according to me...Trust , understanding and compromise... when these two come , its easy to compromise to accomodate one another ..

Niharika : Tell us the relationship Shyam shares with
Abhaas :    Anjali ------ Marriage
                 Arnav------ finds confidant in Shyam
                 Khushi -----liking, love
                 Bhuaji ------ respects her immensely

Niharika : Have you read something weird about Shyam ?

Abhaas: yes, that he is Khushi's brother ..( stunned to read this )

As the interview comes to an end Abhaas deeply thanks all his audiences world wide for appreciating and loving this show as lots of hard work has gone into building it.He is sincerely grateful for all the love showered on him and his entire cast and crew.Even with his Fractured leg, the production house accommodated him for which he is ever grateful.As he signs off..he tells his viewers to keep watching as the show has lot to offer......

Uttran: Selfish vs. Selfless



Love always does not bring out the best in people; it also brings out the worst. If Iccha is an epitome of selflessness, Tapasya represents sheer selfishness.

Tapasya has always been a very self centered woman & even motherhood could not change that about her. Tapasya did not think twice before leaving her baby in an orphanage as a temporary arrangement. In order to clear her doubts with regards to Rathore’s intentions & to ensure her well-being for life, she put her child’s life at stake,. The thought of her child’s safety & well-being was not of utmost priority for her then.

On the other hand when Iccha saw an abandoned baby crying in that stormy night, she did not think twice before trying to save that child. Nothing mattered to her at that moment other than the child’s well being. Even though Ammo, her mother, was not in favour of her keeping the child, but she convinced her for the same. Least does Iccha know that the little Angel she is taking care of is none other than Tapasya’s daughter.
However, even if Iccha had known the child’s real identity, she would have still taken care of her.

Will Rathore eventually get to see his daughter? Will Tapasya ever get to know that it was Iccha who saved her baby that night? Will Tapasya regret having destroyed Veer & Iccha’s married life?

Sasural Simar Ka : Messing with Destiny





Well the show now should be called " Sasural Roli Ka "... What a shocker the precap is ? No words can describe the way  the story has moved forward. One would think that Simar would come in time and save the day and all would be hunky-dory. But all hell breaks loose  as we see Prem actually filling a school girl's maang with sindoor.Will this be another of Roli's nightmare or will she , a teenager get married to her jija...
The promos have started to air with Prem getting married to Roli as Simar and her bhuaji looks on as Simar's life is coming to a grinding halt.The track has completely shocked the viewers and have certainly put all of us on a edge. So we now  just have 24 hours to know what is Simar's destiny.....

Maryada Lekin Kab Tak : Letting Go..



So finally Brahmanand  is getting what he always longed for ...." Uttara " his saali.. The show is on  major high point where Brahma is turning the tables to get Uttara mind boggled.Brahma has been playing mind games with Uttara and silently seducing her with words , subtle innuendoes and light hearted banter.Uttara took all this in a stride as a " jija-saali mazaak "... but now things seems a lilttle different.Brahma knows  very well how his presence is affecting  Uttara and with his wife Devyani gone , the cat is on  the prowl.Uttara too has started to feel something happening as Brahma is constantly hovering around her.Her feelings are now slightly going out of hand as she is now trapped in Brahma's thoughts.
What happens when a situation like Brahma and Uttara come in front of you.? Do you think Uttara is to blame as she has started to respond to her feelings regarding her "jija"...Brahma obviously is playing just to get a challenge fulfilled...Will Devyani or Priya come to Uttara's rescue and snap her out of this trance ?Lets  wait and watch the exciting coming week on " Maryada: lekin kab tak"

Gulaal:Risen from the grave!!!



The truth about Vasant’s death that had got buried along with him is now finally out in the open. Kesar’s revelation about Dushyant having murdered Vasant, shattered every one in the family. This was the moment that Gulaal had dreaded & hence she had decided to hide this truth away from her family. She had promised Vasant that she would always keep his family together & therefore even after knowing the truth about Dushyant, she chose to keep quite. For ten years Gulaal lived with Dushyant under one roof with this bitter truth buried in her heart.


On the other hand Dushyant could never win over Gulaal’s heart even after Vasant’s death & neither did his conscience let him live in peace. He has been repenting for his sins for last ten years but today his efforts went in vain as he saw every member of the family look at him suspiciously. Every pair of eyes that looked at him had only one question in them…did he really kill Vasant? If yes then why?


However the question that now arises is whether Motabha & Paanbha ever forgive Gulaal for hiding the truth about Vasant’s murder for ten long years? Will they understand Gulaal’s reasoning for doing so & realize the pain that she has been through in the last ten years seeing her husband’s murderer moving scott free before her eyes? 


To know the consequences of Kesar’s revelation keep watching Gulaal on Star plus, Monday to Friday at 9pm.
