'ADA',
not yet! We mean, the 'Acting and Dance Academy' - ADA, the new show that Sahara One had promised to air from 24 January? Well, it seems to have turned into some sort of a non-starter. Initial reports had pegged its launch for 17 January, and it was to be the first of a series of new shows that Sahara One intended to unleash in the 8.30 to 10.30 pm band. At a media conference in the first week of January, the channel said the show would be launched on 24 January at 9 pm.
Ken too is waiting to get the new launch dates of his first fiction show for television, when we spoke to him Tuesday morning. For those keen on Sahara, there's another new show in the offing, a reality show titled Dil Chahta Hai, that's supposed to launch on Valentine's Day. Will that one stick to its launch schedule? |

Amar-Ekta
at war? While
stories about Amar Upadhyay's re-entry into Kyunki... (as
Tulsi's grandson) continue to do the rounds, we hear, Balaji House
is pretty irritated about all this. According to Rekha Modi, dialogue
writer on the show, "Today when Amar realises that he could
never have a future in films, he desperately wants to come back
to Balaji. He was never offered any role. Ekta is furious with Amar
for spreading such stories. She has decided not to work with him
ever in the future." Well, well, well... |

Sony
loves Amit Sony
seems to be loving the axed Indian Idol candidate Amit Tandon.
Not only did they offer him Ekta Kapoor's forthcomiong Kaisa
Yeh Pyar Hai on Sony, but also 'Optimystix's Ye Meri Life
Hai. Considering the fact that yet another axed guy Rahul Saxena
has been finalised to sing in Farah Khan's next film, it seems that
getting eliminated in the Indian Idol is a blessing in disguise. |

Sandhya
on cloud nine Sandhya
Mridul is looking forward to this Friday. Mridul stars in Madhur
Bhandarkar's Page 3. She plays a brash girl who has an 'I
don’t care a damn’ attitude, smokes, drinks and has no
qualms about it. Other projects? "I have shot for international
VJ Luke Kenny's directorial venture titled 13th Floor and
an English play Zen Katha with Lilette Dubey. I have a role
in Samar Khan's debut venture Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye (which
has Shah Rukh Khan in a cameo) in Malaysia. And I have another film-
The Great Indian Butterfly opposite Aamir Bashir," she
informs. |
Remember
Ada?
For
the loyalists who tuned in yesterday to catch the Ken Ghosh directed
show, starring Nirmal Pandey and Deepshikha, there was old fare
on at 9 pm, instead of the promised ADA. While channel
officials say it will be on air soon, our sources say the delay
of another new show, Dial and Win, caused the delay of
ADA in effect. Dial and Win will be a show where callers
call in to answer questions and win prizes for the correct answers.
Devar
and
bhabhi in love? Kritika of Kkoi Dil Mein Hai seems to be
spending a lot of time with her serial devarEijaz Khan. When quizzed,
the pretty lass simply blushed, "Oh, we are just good friends.
Yes, we gel well. But there's nothing more than that," adding,
"We are not seeing each other." Point noted, Karishma.
If necessary, we'll get back to you.
