Join us on Facebook 

Akshay Dogra, who was last seen in Mrs Pammi Pyarelal  will soon enter in Saurabh Tiwari’s Do Dil Ek Jaan.

He will be playing Daya Mai’s(Shilpa Shinde)  son Satya. Daya Mai was extremely protective about her son, so she sends him abroad for further studies. He will come to India and then fall in love with Antara (Nikita Sharma). Eventually they will get married. Satya will turn into obsessive love.

When contacted Akshay confirmed that he has been approached for the role, “Nothing is finalized as of now.I have a meeting with them tomorrow and only after that I can say anything.”

He seemed irked when we asked about his character in Jaan, but answered politely yet sarcastically, “See I am not here for charity, so I cannot divulge the details about my character.” (We wonder, if he meant to say that he doesn't believe in sharing details for free. Wish we had the money to afford him.)

Chhanchhan different from past roles, says Sanaya Irani

 Mumbai, March 20 (IANS) TV actress Sanaya Irani says although her character Chhanchhan in the new show of the same name, is a bit similar to her previous character of Khushi in "Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon", the two are not identical.

"Just because Khushi was bubbly, doesn't mean Chhanchhan can't be. If there are 10 bubbly people in the world, that doesn't mean one holds a trademark. Chhanchhan is a fun girl, Khushi was goofy and crazy. Chhanchhan is just a normal, today's girl," the 29-year-old said here Tuesday at the launch of the show.

However, she admits that in real life, she is quite close to Chhanchhan.

"Chhanchhan and Sanaya are very similar and I want to keep it real because this story is also very real, there is no over dramatisation," she said.

Meanwhile, when asked the secret behind a name such as Chhanchhan, Sanaya said: "She is named so because she has been wearing a payal (anklet) since she was a child. She loved the sound so much, that she decided to name herself Chhanchhan."

The show goes on air on Sony March 25.

I also don’t follow society rules like Chhanchhan: Sanaya Irani

Sassy Sanaya Irani is amid few actresses who can carry off the girl-next-door look so efficiently. Last seen in ‘Iss PyaarKo Kya Naam Doon’, Sanaya is coming back with a bang with Sony TV’s Chhanchhan.  In a conversation with Scrutiny, the bubbly actress discussed about her upcoming show. Excerpts:

Is Chhanchhan is based on yesteryear film Khoobsurat, and Chhanchhan’s character is based on the movie’s actress Rekha?

I have not seen Khoobsurat, in fact I haven't seen any old film. I was in a boarding school and we are not allowed to watch movies at that time. So I cannot say anything about this. When the brief of the show is given to me, they haven't told me it’s related to any film or I have to perform like a certain actor. I was given a very keen brief about the show and it was a story, which we are following.  I heard this first time from the media that Chhanchhan is inspired by Khoobsurat.

Tell us something about your character in the show.

She has her own opinion about everything. She has all the morals and values that any person has, but she doesn't go by society. She doesn't follow any society norms just because it was societies laid out. She is not one of those suppressed women basically, like in lots of the show you see mother-in-law says put the ghoonghat like this, Chhanchhan is not like one of those people.

How are you similar to Chhanchhan?

Chhanchhan is very much like Sanaya. She comes from a chilled out family, my family is exactly like that. Chhanchhan loves dog, I also love dogs.  I am very opinionated; I also don’t follow society rules like my onscreen character. I don’t think follow what people have to say, because my parents have never taught me to follow that. They have just taught me to be good, they tell me good things happen to good people, so be a good human being and nothing else matter.

How she is different from Khushi?

Both the girls are happy go. Khushi was bizarre, she was a goofy person whereas Chhanchhan is not. Chhanchhan is today's girl. Khushi and Chhanchhan came from different backgrounds.  Chhanchhan's parents are liberal, she is well educated, all of which Khushi didn't have. For Khushi coming to a big city was a big thing, but on the other hand Chhanchhan lives in a big city.

Do you watch Hindi serials?

Honestly I don’t watch Hindi shows.

How was your experience working with Farhan(Khan)?

I have not actually shot so much with Farhan. It’s just been a day and for a newcomer he kind of surprised me. Every new person is little scared, nervous initially. I think he is also going through all those things.

Your boyfriend Mohit Sehgal too had auditioned for the lead role.

It was reported widely just because he is my boy friend. There were 50 other people who auditioned for this show out of which four were my friends but nobody wrote about them. However for him it was just another audition, hence there was no reaction when he did not get selected.
