Team SaRun's visit to Raizada mansion

~*~ The RaizadaMansion ~*~

As TeamSarun planned its visit to meet the IPKKND cast, a trip to the Raizada Mansion wasn't on our itinerary but as we reached India, we couldn't stop ourselves from paying a visit to our beloved RM/Shantivan. After all it wasn't home just for the Raizadas, it was our home too for almost 1.5 years & that's how Shantivan became the first place TeamSarun 

visited.

As soon as we entered the driveway to RM, we felt as though we were entering a deluge of 1.5 years of memories. How could we not think of the innumerous off-screen moments of Sarun & IPKKND cast that were captured there... we almost saw the white SUV of our ASR parked in its spot as always.. we stopped ourselves and came out of our wild imagination and continued with our exploration.

We reached the main door of RM & as we entered all we could think of was the first time Khushi entered Shantivan, the times when Arnav carried Khushi over the threshold after their marriage & remarriage, all those times when Khushi used to peep at the door to see if ASR was coming in. It felt as though we were about to enter a place of tremendous historic importance, coz Shantivan is a standing monumental symbol of our love for Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon.

Soon we were moving inside RM, room to room and each place held an aura of nostalgia in it. The places looked so familiar; it was like walking through our own home where we had a lot of good memories... many of them bittersweet just like the star-crossed love story of Arnav-Khushi.

We met a few people who have had worked on the IPK sets and all of them had the same thing to tell us that, this was the best cast ever with whom they have worked and that, Barun and Sanaya were amazing human beings. We couldn't stop ourselves from smiling. To hear such amazing things about the people you love and admire brings with it a sense of pride and that's exactly what we felt.

Moving on, we soon found ourselves in a place that stands as the most beautiful place in all of RM,our all-time favourite place, THE POOLSIDE & ARHI'S BEDROOM!!

So many memories yet we couldn't ignore the pain of missing IPKKND, ArHi's bedroom, their wardrobes, mirror everything was still there... yet so empty; the same room where we have 

witnessed a lot of romantic moments.

Here is a fun fact for all of you about this bedroom. The door that supposedly opens to the bathroom in their room, well, we couldn't resist peeping in. One of us walked over & turned the door knob, the rest of us felt our hearts going dhak dhak, maybe rabba vey was playing in the background too but as soon as she opened it and we saw her expression, rabba vey turned to ArHi's music during their comic scenarios. She burst out laughing and we all rushed over to see what was so hilarious. LO and BEHOLD, there was never a bathroom there! It was just an exit door from the room! (but I guess most of us already                           knew that since Arnav was shown entering from that door in one of the initial epis ).

Don't know how to convey our feelings through words, no amount of words can do justice to what we felt while we looked all around the place, so many memories, not knowing what to feel or think or recollect.

The pool was there but there was no water...

ASR's garden had been removed, no fairy lights...

the balcony over the poolside from where Mamiji often used to spy on our ArHi..

the stairs from where we have often seen Arnav & Khushi walking down...

the corner where the almost kiss during Diwali happened...

the spot where Khushi threw hot tea on Arnav... Arhi's Karvachauth...

The entire house had been stripped, yet we could still feel each and every scene that had been filmed there.

The kitchen where we got the sensuous Aloo-Pakhode scene...

all the times when Khushi fell into Arnav's arms...

the place where ASR made jalebis for his Khushi...

We were told by the people on the sets that the kitchen was also used to keep the sound systems used by the crew.

On a lighter note a secret about RM that was shared with us by Akshay, initially there was a Buddha statue in RM. Due to religion sensitivity associated with it, the crew decided to make it appear like a piece of art so that they could cover it up as well as prevent it from getting destroyed.

Another fact not to be missed, you must all be wondering what happened to our Gupta House, [that gifted Arnav & Khushi a lot of privacy, that was denied to them in Shantivan,] well GH got dismantled soon after the remarriage track, sad we know... but that's another true fact for all of you.

Each and every nook and corner of the house had so many stories to tell, so many jokes to share. We were caught in their web of enchanting memories of IPKKND & their off-screen moments.

None of us wanted to leave, we wanted to stay on, we couldn't stop wishing that all this is a bad dream and when we wake up, we will still have our IPKKND back with us every day @ 8pm.

The people there told us that the sets were going to be dismantled within 3 days so we can say we were really lucky. It was like Shantivan was waiting for us to come and bid it a final adieu on behalf of the entire IPKKND fandom and we are glad we made the trip or else we wouldn't have been able to convey our final farewells to the Raizada Mansion that became our personal heaven.

Bye Bye IPK.....

Sanaya's interview with Gul Khan

The most exclusive pics from Sanaya's Interview with Gul Khan.....

Yes, I’m doing Mitali Ghoshal’s film : Barun Sobti.

Jan24

Q. You quit Iss Pyaar ko kya Naam Doon because you were working in a film Mein aur Mr right so what is the film is all about?
Barun: The film is from a girl’s perspective in terms how she dreams of having a perfect partner in her life and how it is difficult to realize one’s dream of finding an ideal partner. No one really gets  a perfect partner but that’s what the film is about.

Q.2 What is your role in the film? Who are your co stars in it?
Barun: I’m playing the role of a guy named Sukhi who wanted to be a model and so he shifts from Jalandhar in Punjab to Mumbai, there are many new actors in this film , I’m playing opposite  Shahnaz

Q. How is your equation with your co stars on the sets? particularly with Shahnaz?
Barun: She is actually good… chillled out girl and there were no problems while shooting it was good working with her!

Q. How was the experience of working for a movie? How is it different from a daily soap on tv?
Barun: There is no difference as such I would say, if there is any difference then it is only for the producers, directors but for actors its all about same you know.

Q. Your fans were heartbroken when they realized that they won’t get to see you now on tv, will they see the same magic and chemistry in your up-coming film what more do you have for them now?
Barun: Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon had a very different set of audience and now this film in particular will have entirely different audience I would say. The film is a romantic comedy so let’s see if the audience will like it or not, its not a high voltage drama.

Q So was it difficult to play a comic role especially soon after playing a very strong dramatic role?
Barun: No it is not entirely a comic character but yes, with this film I got to know what psychology is required to play a comic role. For a role that I had played earlier in the serial, doing the same thing everyday helps you understand the demands of the role in this case it was that of a businessman.

Q. Which are the outdoor locations you’ve shot so far? Any particular sequence you liked while shooting?
Barun: Yes, actually the film was shot lot more outdoor, specially in different parts of Mumbai, we even went to Nashik for shooting, but no there were no abroad shoot.

Q.When is the movie hitting the screen?
Barun: We are hoping for it to release in May.

Q. Any other projects you are working on? buzz is that you’ve signed a film with Mitali Ghosal is it true?
Barun: Yes, I’m doing Mitali Ghoshal’s film, I’ve shot for my film Mei Aur Mr Right along with my serial and it was very difficult to carry two projects at a time so I decided to do one thing at a time. Soon I will start my work with Mitali Ghoshal, the movie is tentatively named  as 22 yards a cricket pitch and I will be playing the lead role in this film.

Q. What are your future plans? Will you continue to work only in movies or will you come back on the small screen again?
Barun: I don’t know yaar ! too many people have been asking me the same thing but I really don’t know… I haven’t yet planned anything  and I guess God only will guide me in future.

Q. What is your message for your online fans for the new year 2013?
Barun: I would say thank you for appreciating me, loving me and again following me thank you all for your true love!

Sanaya With Mohit

Don't Miss Welcome on Life Ok tomite @10pm

♥♥♥

The dictionary definition of dialogue is a conversation between two or more people. In a show or movie, it is much more. It offers an insight into who characters are, what their personality is, the plot, emotions, ideas, and the way things may unfold.

The first dialogue that I remember with IPK was an innocuous one, but it made me realize that we were probably in for a treat from the dialogue writers Ritesh Shah and Hitesh Kewalya.

Arnav reclining on his recliner (gosh I miss a view of that) - Anjali comes in asks why he looks angry. Arnav replies "shakal hi aisi hai"

 

It absolutely cracked me up and made me take a bit more notice of what was being said.

Among my favorites are Khushi's when she hands in her resignation

"haan, hum teekh hai. Aapke vajah se nahi, aapke bavajood" - it showed the strength of her character, belief and never say die spirit.

 

Another favorite is Arnav's "hi" during the mehendi episode... it still makes me go weak at the knees and absolutely funny ones like Khushi's - "Khushi Kumaaari Guptaaa" 

 

So, lets have a dialogue about dialogues... what your favorites are, what they meant in the scene and why you like them so much.

 

Madhura goes scuba diving

The actress is a certified scuba diver and enjoys it to the fullest...

Madhura Naik who was last seen in Star Plus' Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? does not limit her skills to just acting, singing or dancing, but there is something not many people know about the actress. Madhura is a certified scuba diver and she went to Koh Tao, Thailand this year and joined her diving group at Ban's Diving School.

When we asked Madhura about her travel escapades, she said, "Earlier when I was shooting in Bombay I always wanted to be a scuba diver, and during my breaks I started to do a little research about the same. It wasn't long before I logged onto a website and book my tickets for the next night to Bangkok. I've always been a globetrotter, and its very difficult to keep up with my spontaneous plans".

She further added, "As I reached Koh Tao I hired my favorite mode of holiday transport : a Quad bike and drove around the island. It was a tiring night journey and then a boat journey to get to his paradise and then finally I found a perfect spot to stay by the Shark Bay at 3pm. The very first thing I did was, got myself some food and a snorkeling gear. I snorkeled all afternoon till the sunset, spotted some beautiful blacktip reef sharks which swim so very close to u, tanned myself till my skin was almost peeling and by night landed up at a beach lounge called the "Fishbowl" and that's where the real journey started! "

If that one time wasn't enough Madhura decided to join dive schools about which she says, "I enrolled myself at Bans after doing a days research of other options available for dive schools and since Ban's was world renowned and PADI certified which is the first thing anybody should look for, voila! My dive group had people that had traveled all the way from Germany, Australia, UK,  Canada and it was great diving and schooling with them while getting to know the diversities of their cultures". 

We covered a lot of diving spots my favorite being : Twin peaks and White rock. Since I did the advanced 30m underwater course, it was a different experience altogether. We spotted the whale shark, barracuda, Angel Fish, Clown Fish, we found Nemo, Sting Ray, Trigger fish which after I chased to get a photo of found out that they are the most aggressive fish in Koh Tao and can easily take a chunk of your leg. We also got to see an adult Harlequin Sweet Lips (v rare), Puffer fish, Cushion Star fish, Big Crab, Blue/Yellow Angel fish which again are quite rare amongst many more", she concludes

WELCOME:बाज़ी मेहमान नवाज़ की

Don't forget to watch Sanaya Irani's new show Wlcome on Life Ok channel tonight @ 10pm.....

DO post you reviews on the show on our blog as comments.... ☺

Sanaya Irani defends Producer Gul Khan and says, 'Gul cannot be blamed for the closure of Iss Pyaar...'

Sanaya Irani surely regrets the premature ending that her popular show on Star Plus, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (produced by 4 Lions Films and IMRC Entertainment) faced. But she does not want to get into the blame game that the ardent fans of the show are voicing at the moment.

So what is it that irks Sanaya at the moment? Well, the fact that fans of Iss Pyaar… have been verbally hitting at Producer Gul Khan on a social networking site for the closure of the show, is not going down well with Sanaya.

Defending the Producer, Sanaya questions the fans, “Why blame Gul for the show’s end? She was at a terrible loss; she lost her show and her actor (Barun Sobti).”

So what according to her was the real reason for the show shutting down? “I do not want to get into this, but it was surely not Barun’s fault as he had given ample time before quitting. The makers were also looking for a suitable replacement, but it never happened,” claims Sanaya.

While Sanaya tried her best to not get into intricate details, her boy friend in real life, Mohit Sehgal sympathized with Barun saying, “I fully understand why Barun quit Iss Pyaar. Sometimes, the creative people do get saturated and need to move on.”

Sanaya, we do understand what you are arriving at!! We too wonder when the loyal fans of the show will take everything in stride and move on..

Our jalebi rani suck @ cooking!

"I am a horrible cook" : Sanaya Irani

The bubbly and gorgeous actress, Sanaya Irani in a candid conversation with tellybuzz about her shows, life and much more...

What are u doing post ending of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?

I am just relaxing and holidaying, that's all.

You are soon going to be seen in a cooking reality show, what prompted you to take up the show?

It sounded like fun concept and I guess we eat a lot in the show and I love to eat. It was only a matter of 6 days so it wasn't like taking out anything out of my life.

Tell us a bit about your Welcome: Baazi Mehmaan Nawaazi ki. Is Sanaya a good cook?

I am a horrible cook, I don't know how to cook at all. I can't cook to save my life, but the whole point was not about the cooking, it was about the eating. I know I will have to cook for 1 day, but I will get to eat for the other 5 days.

Rumours are making rounds that you have signed a new show on Life OK?

They are just rumours, I haven't signed anything and if I did sign, I would had been more than happy to confirm it than hide it.

The recent noise about world ending on 21.12.12 what do you have to say about it?

Well, I knew it wouldn't end. It didn't even look close to the world coming to an end. I didn't even think about it, the day passed and I was like oh it's the 21st.

Have you kept a New Year resolution?

No, I don't keep any new year resolutions at all.

Do you follow any fitness regime?

I actually do not follow a fitness regime. In life I only want to be healthy and fit. 

One particular dish you can never say no to?

I can never say no to desserts. I like all kind of desserts. 

Do you watch Mohit's show Mujhse Kuchh Kehti...Yeh Khamoshiyaan and what do you have to say about it?

Honestly I haven't watched a lot of the show, because since my show ended I haven't been in Mumbai for long. I haven't got time to actually sit down and watch it. 

The big question: When are you and Mohit getting married?

When it will happen I will tell everyone. I don't know when we are getting married since we haven't thought about it. When we do start thinking about it, we will get married.

 Message for your India-Forums fans?

I just want to thank them a lot since they did a lot for our show, watched and loved us too.  Hopefully I should be back soon I hope. So whatever show I am on, they better watch it. (smiles).

Barun &Kavi Sasthri in Kolkata

Please donot ask me questions about IPKKND, stated Sobti

Barun Sobti, the actor with a super hot personality and phenomenal fan following who was last seen in Star Plus’ Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (4 Lions Films, IMRC Entertainment, Panglosean Entertainment) has became a household name today When we talk about Barun, we cannot forget his sizzling chemistry with Sanaya Irani in the popular Star Plus show that recently ended. Ardent fans of the show and the jodi are in fact still to get over the trauma of their favorite soap facing a premature end.

We got in touch with Barun to know if there is a possibility of a Season 2 of the show happening and if he would want to be part of it. However, Barun chose not to answer freely stating, “Please do not ask me any question related to Iss Pyaar Ko… I don’t want to answer any questions related to it.”

Understanding his sentiments, we threw our next question to him, about the probability of Zee TV trying to rope him in one of their upcoming shows. To this, Barun stated, “Well, I don’t know where this news is coming from. I am not in talks with Zee TV, so I have no idea about it.”

Talking about the year gone by (2012) an ecstatic Barun exclaimed, “2012 was a great year. Professionally, I am glad to have been part of a show of the stature Iss Pyaar Ko.. and personally it has always been a wonderful life. I hope 2013 also goes well.”

Barun, we wish you good luck for your future projects!!!

Arnav-Khushi chosen favourite jodi of 2012 as per fan votes
A jodi on a television show is actually the heart and soul of theproject and if liked by the masses, it can do wonders in theTRP game. Something similar is applicable when it comes to the lead jodi of Star Plus’ Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon.

Yes, the lead pair of Arnav and Khushi, played by Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani respectively, went on to create rage amongst fans and over the time emerged as one of the most popular and loved jodis in the history of Indian television.
The show has bid adieu but till date their chemistry and on screen magic is remembered avidly and vividly by television lovers.
TC conducted a poll wherein we asked readers to choose their favourite jodi of 2012. And theydid vote in huge numbers and at one point of time, the battle of supremacy got pretty intense between two top jodis, Arnav-Khushi, and Megha-Mohan (Colors’ Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha). Megha and Mohan were characters played by Aakanksha Singh and Kunal Karan Kapoor (Na Bole season 2 to air on the same channel from 14 January 2013).
But ultimately, the majestic and magnetic jodi of Arnav-Khushi emerged winners by bagging 40% percent of the total cast votes.
JodiMegha-Mohan earned second position with 34 percent votes.
We congratulate fans of Arnav-Khushi!!!

No show can survive on the basis of popularity:Sanaya

Sanaya Irani has been having a jolly good time with her family, post the abrupt closure of her popular show on Star Plus, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon.

Says Sanaya, “I usually do not plan anything for the future, as I believe that one will get what he/she deserves. I am enjoying my break at the moment and had been out of the country with friends.”

Sanaya recently shot for her first reality show on Life OK, Welcome: Baazi Mehmaan Nawaazi Ki. On her new experience, Sanaya states, “After being part of fiction for quite some time now, the reality show experience was a refreshing change. I have shot for my part in the project. It was an experience to cherish.”

When asked whether she regrets the early closure of her show Iss Pyaar and the actress is quick to say, “Well, it has been a while since Iss Pyaar ended, but this question never seems to leave me. All I can say is that it was a sad feeling that we were given a notice of only four days. But I enjoyed working with the whole unit. I can say that no show can survive only on the popularity basis; there are many factors that can go into the show’s closure.”

Ask her whether she has been tipped to play the lead in 4 Lions Films’ upcoming show for Life OK and she avers, “I have not got into any discussion for my next project at the moment. I don’t know where this buzz has come from.”

On her expectations from the year 2013, Sanaya says, “As I told you, I never plan anything. And there are no expectations whatsoever.”

Sanaya, hope you get back to the world of small screen very soon.
