Aman Verma not to do Jaya Bachchan's Vasundhara?




We reported yesterday that Amar Upadhyay and Aman Verma are approached to play Jaya Bachchan's sons in Sony Tv’s Vasundhara, which is based on the Gujarati novel Yog Viyog (written by Hiralal Upadhyay). However, sources close to the Aman Yatan Verma inform us that the actor has backed out of the show owing to date issues.

Aman was considered for the role of middle son of Vasundhara (Jaya Bachchan). He was almost finalised but unfortunately he lost out on this crisp role.   

Sources from the channel have revealed that, Aman was approached but he was asking for more money so they finalized someone else to play the role.

Is Sunny Leone scaring off Bollywood actors and producers already?


After being evicted from Bigg Boss, pornstar Sunny Leone targeted contestant Amar Upadhyay, alleging that he kissed her hand and picked her up against her wishes, while carrying out fun tasks assigned to Housemates on the reality show.

In an interview to a prominent newspaper, the pornstar from Canada mounted a scathing attack on the Indian actor and claimed, “It's the first time in my entire career that I've had to tell a man (Amar) more than once not to be a certain way. That's why I didn't exactly know how to handle the situation as it was coming, other than talking to him as an adult. In my real life, no one comes near me or no one even tries to get fresh or do anything – it just doesn't happen.”

Amar Upadhyay’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar clarified that the actor’s ‘acts’ of kissing Leone on her hand or picking her up during a rain dance on the show, “were strictly part of the ‘entertainment tasks’ given to the Housemates on Bigg Boss.”

Replying to Sunny’s bizarre claims, he said, “Sunny Leone a respected pornstar! She should be careful before uttering such words against a family man and an actor who has been admired and adored on Indian television for his role of the righteous Mihir Virani in Kyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, which even propelled him as a superstar on television with a huge fan following.”

“Sunny is planning to enter Bollywood. Showing such disrespect for a family man and massacring the reputation of an Indian actor even before she officially signs her first Bollywood movie, could reflect badly on her and scare off most reputed Indian actors and producers,” the publicist pointed out.

Indeed, Sunny seems to have committed professional hara-kiri. India is a country of great morality and culture and this frivolous accusation could make her career in Bollywood an uphill task now.

It can be noted here that Bigg Boss co-host Sanjay Dutt, who had rightfully come to Amar’s support during one of the elimination rounds earlier, was said to be planning to work with Sunny. But the rumours have been denied. Quoting a source, a prominent newspaper clarified, “Sanju wouldn’t be comfortable working with Leone and has no interest in signing her on whatsoever.”

The other Bigg Boss co-host Salman Khan, who was said to be considering Sunny for a film, hasn’t announced anything; while Mahesh Bhatt is yet to officially sign her for Jism 2, a movie he discussed with her on entering the Bigg Boss House as a guest last month.

Countdown for Bigg Boss 5 finale begins

With Bigg Boss Season 5 nearing its end, fans are at tenterhooks, wondering who will be the winner! As of now, Amar Upadhyay, Juhi Parmar, Akashdeep Sky Saigal, Siddharth Bhardwaj and Sunny Leone are hot in the race.

Amar Upadhyay has been the most dignified contestant of the show this year, having spent his time on Bigg Boss with a lot of integrity. The “Saas Bahu ka Badshah” as ex-Housemate Pooja Misrra tauntingly tagged him on the show, is a self-made man, whose boy-next-door image has been loved my many.

Amar, who started his television career with Jaya Bachchan’s hugely popular sitcom Dekh Bhai Dekh, carved a niche for himself along with veteran television actors like Farida Jalal, Shekhar Suman and Divya Seth.

From here, he never looked back and has done many television serials and soaps. Amar’s career witnessed a major upswing with Ekta Kapoor’s Kyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi; a women-oriented daily soap, which catapulted him to great heights. He left an indelible mark and created history on Indian television when, after his character of Mihir Virani was edged out of the soap, but had to be brought back to life by public demand.

Bigg Boss is Amar’s first attempt at a reality show and one wonders if he can win it. Giving him tough competition is Juhi Parmar, who shot to fame with the serial Kumkum. Plus, there is Akashdeep Sky Saigal, who played Mihir Virani’s son in Kyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and has been in the news for all the wrong reasons on Bigg Boss.

Another contestant Siddharth Bhardwaj, is a winner of MTV Splitsvilla and the youngest of the lot on the show. The 24-year-old actor-model-VJ is a pro at reality television, also having participated in shows like MTV Stripped, Gone in 60 Seconds and Roadies 8.0 too.

The last of the lot is Sunny Leone (born Karen Malhotra), an Indo-Canadian pornographic actress, businesswoman and model. She was named Penthouse Pet of the Year in 2003 and created a furore with Indian conservative audiences, when she entered the Bigg Boss House as a Wild Card Entry a few weeks ago.

As we wait with bated breath to see who the winner would be, families and friends of various contestants, as well as some evicted participants, have been reported to use various antics and tactics outside the House to promote their kin and friends.

While evicted Housemate Mahek Chahal, through her interviews and tweets, has constantly been asking her fans to vote for Siddharth as the winner, there have been media reports of Akashdeep’s sister having the right connections and pulling strings to see her brother as the winner. Meanwhile, another evicted contestant Pooja Bedi has been constantly tweeting in favour of Akashdeep and also predicting that Juhi Parmar would win this season of Bigg Boss.

Astro-numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi, who had joined Pooja Bedi for a prediction on the show, when she hosted Season 2, and had correctly predicted Ashutosh Kaushik as the winner of that season, has now announced that according to numerology, Juhi Parmar will win Bigg Boss 5.

This leaves Amar Upadhyay and Sunny Leone as the only two contestants playing a clean and fair game, without manipulating public opinion outside the House of Scandal.

Siddharth Bhardwaj’s ‘maa’on Bigg Boss?


It is learnt that Bigg Boss will allow one family member of most of the current contestants on the show to visit their kin inside the House of Scandal this weekend.

Juhi Parmar’s husband Sachin Shroff, Amar Upadhyay’s wife Hetal and Akashdeep Saigal’s sister Madhu Bhatia are rumoured to be on the reality show, beginning of next week.

But the grapevine suggests that contestant Siddharth ‘Sid’ Bhardwaj’s mother has flown in from her residence in Delhi and ALREADY entered the Karjat-based Bigg Boss House before all the other family members can.

 “Siddharth has constantly spoken about his mother on the show, in good times and bad. He has fondly brought up talks about her so many times that it is obvious how much he loves and adores his mom. It will be such a touching moment for him when he sees his ‘maa’ inside the House,” reacts celebrity publicist Dale Bhagwagar, a specialist with Bigg Boss.

Siddharth is a 24-year-old actor-model-VJ, who won the reality show MTV Splitsvilla, and has participated in shows like MTV Stripped, Gone In60 Seconds and Roadies 8.0 too.

Entering the Bigg Boss House as a Wild Card Entry on Day 15,Siddharth has gone through many upheavals. But he received the maximum spotlight when, after a heated argument with Housemate Pooja Misrra, he threatened to jump out of the House if Bigg Boss didn’t take any action on her for pushing him; insisting that the push was an “act of violence”.

Following this, Pooja, who had emerged the biggest entertainer of the Season, was dramatically shown the door at 2am, with her actions branded as acts of assault and violence. She is now back as a special guest on the show and has been constantly justifying her acts and pulling Siddharth up forgetting her evicted.

Since Bigg Boss Season 5 began, the show anchored by SanjayDutt and Salman Khan has proceeded with names like Shakti Kapoor, Pooja Bedi, Nihita Biswas, Shradha Sharma, Mandeep Bevli, Raageshwari, Vida Samadzai, Sonika Kaliraman Malik, Gulabo Sapera, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, Mahek Chahal and guest Swami Agnivesh, while Shonali Nagrani, Juhi Parmar, Amar Upadhyay, Siddharth Bhardwaj, Aksahdeep Saigal, along with latest entrants Sunny Leone and guests Andrew Symonds and Pooja Misrra are still in the House.

Family members of contestants to visit Bigg Boss..Shonali or Mahek Eliminated?

 According to the grapevine, Bigg Boss will allow one family member of most of the current contestants on show, to visit their kin inside the House of Scandal this week.

A birdie tells us that one can expect Juhi Parmar’s husband Sachin Shroff, Amar Upadhyay’s wife Hetal and Akashdeep Saigal’s sister Madhu Bhatia on the show this Sunday, for the episode airing beginning next week.

In fact, Akashdeep’s sister, who stays in Dubai, is learnt to be specially flying down forthis chance to meet her brother while he is in the Bigg Boss House.

 When we quizzed celebrity publicist and Bigg Boss specialist Dale Bhagwagar about this, he admitted that he had heard about this concept.“If it materializes, it will be a lot of fun. It will not only put some of the tensed contestants at ease but also escalate the drama for others,” he said.

 “Imagine the surprise and happiness the Housemates will get,when they see their loved ones with them after more than two months,” added the PR expert. “This is the first time we might get to witness an exception likethis being made on the show. What remains to be seen, is whether the family members would be allowed to meet all the contestants or only their kin,” he added,mischievously suggesting that the new members could be let in only for an hour,“so that the contestants begin missing them soon after.”

Since Bigg Boss Season 5 began, the show anchored by SanjayDutt and Salman Khan has proceeded with names like Shakti Kapoor, Pooja Bedi, Nihita Biswas, Shradha Sharma, Mandeep Bevli, Raageshwari, Vida Samadzai, SonikaKaliraman Malik, Gulabo Sapera, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi and guest Swami Agnivesh, while Shonali Nagrani, Mahek Chahal, Juhi Parmar, Amar Upadhyay, Siddharth Bhardwaj, Aksahdeep Saigal, along with latest entrants Sunny Leone, Andrew Symonds and Wild Card Entry Pooja Misrra are still in the House.

Siddharth, Mahek, Shonali and Amar were nominated this week.Probably Shonali or Mahek will be eliminated.
