Shrenu Parikh, as Genda shares, “There has been an instant connection with both Kajal and Heena ever since we met for the first time on the set. We gelled up pretty well within few initial days. Now it does not even feel that I have met them recently. They remind me of my school friends, and just spending time with them brings a wave of nostalgia in me.” Kajal Patil, as Harsha Goel adds, “Shrenu and Heena are sweethearts. We had an instant connection and effortless friendship. And that is what makes our bond so special. Since we are shooting, I will be spending the friendship day with them, and I am sure we will have a rocking time! Heena Warde, as Pankhudi Jaiswal, adds, “Some bonds are so pure and instant that it does not take much of an effort. Such is our bond.

We do our make up together, share our meals, listen to music, make unlimited fun reels and sometimes gossip. There have been times when I mispronounce a few Urdu words; Farhana helps with it. She makes sure that she takes out time and refines my Urdu diction. I never knew that I would be finding my best friend at work.” Farhana Fatema, as Shanti Mishra adds, “On-screen we are the perfect padosis, we fight and even stand unified in front of others. While off-screen, we have become thick friends. The make-up room is our hangout spot! We do all sorts of things over there and have a lot of fun. We both share the same love for acting and dancing, which made us even closer. Akansha is a wonderful co-actor and now one of my closest friends. She feels like family to me.”

I am so glad to spend this friendship day with Pawan.” Pawan Singh, seen as Zafar Ali Mirza, shares, “Ambrish and I share a ‘Yeh dosti hum nahitodenge’ kind of a friendship. I believe just like Mirza is incomplete without his rival Mishra, I am incomplete without Ambrish. He has become an important part of my life that I cherish dearly. Ambrish is just like an elder brother to me. We spend a lot of time in our make-up room when we are not shooting. We make funny reels. In one of our reels, we even tried dancing! I feel only Ambrish can cope up with my level of craziness.”

Talking about their fun bond, Aasif Sheikh, as Vibhuti Narayan Mishra, shares, “Rohitashv and I are best of friends; we have spent years working together, and we share a great bond. The reason why we can showcase a rather bittersweet act on-screen and ace it perfectly is all because of the way we understand each other. Friendships like these always keep you motivated as you know that there is someone who will always believe in you. On this friendship day, I pray for our friendship to last till eternity because that is how much I cherish this friendship.” RohitashvGour, as Manmohan Tiwari, adds, “After spending nearly seven years with him, we have learnt a lot about each other. We know that we can always fall back on one another and share a screen with him, just a cherry on top of the cake. While on-screen, we both have this invisible jealousy, which ignites most of our fights. Behind the scenes, both Tiwari Ji and Vibhuti laugh at every smallest of smallest joke and share meals. On some days, I even bring an extra serving of his favourite daal for lunch. In contrast, he will bring me some of the juiciest kebabs and delicacies that he enjoys making on his own. It is gestures like these that make our bond stronger than ever.”

&TV| Aao Banayein Uttar Pradesh Ko Plastic Mukht Rajya: &TV artists

Jun 29, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #&TV, #International Plastic Bag Free Day, #Plastic pollution

Plastic pollution is undoubtedly one of the most pressing environmental issues globally, and one solution is to curb single-use plastics or ban plastic bags. Given the severe ecological consequences, it is becoming increasingly important in reducing our dependency on single-use plastic or disposable plastic. On ‘International Plastic Bag Free Day’, &TV actors from Uttar Pradesh – Yogesh Tripathi aka Daroga Happu Singh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, Ambrish Bobby aka Ramesh Prasad Mishra and Farhana Fatema aka Shanti Mishra from Aur Bhai Kya ChalRaha Hai? urge the citizens to adopt greener practices to curb the use of single-use plastics.

Ambrish Bobby, Ramesh Prasad Mishra in &TV’s Aur Bhai Kya ChalRaha Hai? says, “To save our environment, we all need to take collective measures to curtail our dependency and usage of plastic bags. And it all starts from our own homes. Start with replacing plastic bags with either jute or cotton bags, especially when going grocery shopping. Another way is to upcycle glass containers for food storage in your kitchen. Make the right and responsible choice of using paper instead of plastics, wherever and whenever possible. In Lucknow, to eliminatearound 2,000 tonnes of single-use plastic, the state government has set a unique and ambitious pro-environmental measure of constructing 1500 km of single-use plastic roads. I think there is a lot to learn from this and do our bit in reducing plastic pollution.”

Farhana Fatema, Shanti Mishra in &TV’s Aur Bhai Kya ChalRaha Hai? says, “Plastic Bag Free Day is a wonderful

opportunity to spread the word and remind people of the persisting environmental worries. When we disapprove of any plastic use, we support and welcome the natural fabrics of the earth. Our aim as citizens should not just limit the eradication of single-use plastic but also promote jute, flax, and cotton variants. From feminine hygiene to even your toothbrush can all be a part of this revolutionary change. Ditch the plastic, stay fantastic!”

Yogesh Tripathi, Daroga Happu Singh in &TV’s Happu Ki Ultan Paltan says, “We need to reduce our dependency on plastics. To recoup the environmental hazards of plastic use, we need to take corrective measures. We can start as small as treating our home plants to natural fertilisers or pruning nearby shrubs. Keep plastic at bay and remind people of the horrors it can do. A clean-up drive within the perimeters of your home will give you a fair idea of the plastic consumption in and around. Please speak to your local vendors and request them to make the switch! I urge everyone to go plastic-free and pollution-free.”

Watch Ambrish Bobby aka Ramesh Prasad Mishra and Farhana Fatema aka Shanti Mishra in Aur Bhai Kya ChalRaha Hai? at 9:30 PM and Yogesh Tripathi aka Daroga Happu Singh in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan at 10:00 PM every Monday to Friday only on &TV!

“Happu Ki Ultan Paltan is a dream come true for me” says Jasneet Kaur Kant

May 13, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #&TV, #Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, #Jasneet Kaur Kant

&TV’s Happu Ki Ultan Paltan that has been entertaining viewers and making them laugh until they cry will soon see a new face. Ready to step into Malaika’s shoes is actor Jasneet Kaur Kant. Born and brought up in Mumbai, Jasneet has done a few cameo roles on the small screen. Excited to be a part of the paltan, here is Jasneet talking about her role and show in a candid conversation.

1. Tell us about your role in the show, and how did you bag it? Is this your first role on TV?
I play the role of Malaika who is Happu (Yogesh Tripathi) and Rajesh’s (Kamna Pathak) second child. She is dabang in nature but at the same time, immensely protective when it comes to her family. Koi aafat aaye toh apne family ki kawach banne ko taiyaar rehti hai. A dedicated personality, Malaika wishes to join the Haryana Police force and maintains a strict discipline-driven lifestyle. From waking up early to working out and preparing meals, Malaika is always on track. Overall, she is a strong, mature and brave girl who always stands by the right and does not even hesitate to question her own parents if they are in the wrong. When I heard Malaika’s character narration, I instantly knew that this role was a perfect fit for me. I submitted my first audition video from home and eventually, was called to the production house where everything was finalised. While I have cameo role experiences, this is my first time in a full-fledged role. I am really excited and I hope the viewers resonate with my onscreen portrayal of Malaika.

2. Have you watched Happu Ki Ultan Paltan before? What do you like about the show?
I have not only watched Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, but have loved all the episodes till date! It is a light-hearted show that you can binge watch anytime of the day and still not get bored. Poore din ki mehnat ke baad, TV pe ye show dekh lo, toh bas saari thakan gayab si hojati hai. Kaafiyon ke liye toh ye ek stress buster show hai. Another aspect of the show is that every character comes with their own unique quirks and style of comedy. Also, the script itself is so funny that combining it with the effortless acting of the artists makes it as a comedy masterpiece on television!

3. How challenging is it to play a role that someone has played before ?
It is in a way challenging as someone has already played the character before and viewers are used to it. Also initially, there was a lot of curiosity going around that Kon hai jo Malaika ka role play karne wali hai? Will she be able to do justice to the character? Such questions are bound to come about and I have no qualms about it as it is human nature. But the best part is that whole production team is very supportive, they have given me the liberty to understand the character and own it my way! And the rest is on my shoulder to give justice and make space in the audience’s heart as their new Malaika!

4. What newness / freshness will you be bringing to the character?
Otherwise seen as a girl donning a typical Indian attire and mouthing dialogues with a Haryanvi accent to it, the Malaika of Happu Ki Ultan Paltan will be seen in a refreshing new avatar. While maintaining the essence of the character I shall be seen in a chic and rather urban look, wearing modern clothes. You will feel that your favourite Malaika has gone through a makeover. And of course, I will bring in certain improvisations to make the acting look effortless. So watch out for the new Malaika who is a combination of dabaangai andaaz with a stylish twist.

5. How has your experience been so far?
In the initial days, it was pretty challenging for me get used to the language, as I was not familiar with the Haryanvi dialect. But the team has been so supportive that eventually things fell into place. Now I am more comfortable with the language, agar koi abhi bhi mujhe koi sawal puchle toh mein Haryanvi mein uska jawab de sakti hun. My co-actors are so friendly and welcoming that they make work seem fun! All the actors irrespective of their experience in the industry, have made me feel so comfortable around them that I could walk straight to them ask for help if I am stuck with some scene. Looking forward to an amazing journey with the team of Happu Ki Ultan Paltan.

Himani Shivpuri, aka Katori Amma, shares, “My child is my world. We are one team. Our bond is unique and very special. When I moved to Mumbai, my husband passed away soon after my second film. In such challenging times, my son Katyayan was my pillar of strength. When he looked at me and said, ‘Mummy, I want to come to Mumbai with you’. I still remember the innocence and care in his eyes for me. He truly makes me feel on top of the world. The whole motherhood experience has been wonderful. He has been with me through thick and thin. Each day is special with him and has brought so much happiness into my life. Being a single working mother is quite challenging, but I sailed through this journey as my son was my constant support at every step. He is one of the most understanding and supportive people, and I feel blessed to have a son like him! On Mothers’ Day, I want to wish for all single mothers’ abundance of strength and courage. It is not easy, but the journey is worthwhile when you see your children growing into good people. Single mothers are a perfect example of the ultimate sacrifice that women make so that their children are happy and have everything they need. Kudos to their spirit and strength!” Shubhangi Atre, aka Angoori Bhabi, shares, “When I was taking the baby steps in this industry, I wasn’t alone. My husband was there by my side. Moreover, I was a mother to two-year-old daughter Ashi and leaving her at home to start my career left me in a dilemma. An initial couple of years of my career were full of difficulties, but my family became my strength. If I was going for an outdoor shoot for 15 days, I never had to worry about what will happen to my daughter. She is a very mature girl and does everything to make me feel special. Both of us thoroughly enjoy each second of our mother-daughter time. We do household chores together, play indoor games, and then we talk, laugh. It is all about togetherness, and our bond is exceptional. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms, everywhere, for everything you do! Every mother is amazing in her way. For the sacrifices you make and the love you give.” Farahana Fatema, aka Shanti Mishra, shares, “I share a powerful bond with my 10-year-old daughter Maisara. She is my world, my everything and my most precious gift to me. I always wanted a daughter, and I am blessed with a beautiful one. She is extremely affectionate as a person and very loving and caring. Sometimes, she behaves like a mother to me than being a daughter. She brings so much happiness and joy into my life and uplifts me when I am low, takes care of me when I am sick, and we share so many things. We are more like friends and share everything. We have a great sense of comfort, trust and an inseparable bond that makes our relationship all the more unique. The only thing about Maisara that upsets me is her obsession with online games, so sometimes we end up arguing the same, but thodanokjhok to har ma-betimeinhotahai, hainaa? I wish all the amazing and fabulous mothers out there a very Happy Mother’s Day.”

Sheer aur Kheer kha kejaise Mishra aur Mirza ke pet ko hi nahi, atma ko bhi shanti mil gayi ho. They both start praising the food in front of their own wives. Ab unhe nahi bhagwan aur nahi khuda bacha saktatha. Shanti (Farhana Fatema) and Sakina (Akansha Sharma) cannot bear each other’s praise and make their respective husbands life hell. They decide not to cook dinner and hand over only INR 50 to them to have dinner outside. Ab ajkal ke zamane mein pachas rupiyon mein akhir milta kya hai? So both the men decide to enjoy pocket-friendly meals from a dhabba named ‘Gurbatki Roti’. Usually crowded with drivers and rickshaw walas, Mishra and Mirza decide to wear a mask in order to hide their identity. But as they leave, Paro’s husband Baanke arrives at the dhabba and sends a selfie to Paro, in which Mishra and Mirza are visible.

But there is always a twist in the tale. The twist will make the audience ROFL, I can guarantee that!”

Step out of your comfort zones and dedicate your early mornings to exercising.” Farhana Fatema aka Shanti Mishra shares, “It is true that with the pandemic at hand, we have neglected our own health. For me the best way to stay fit and fine is my passion for dancing. Naachgaanemein hi ho jaatihaikasrat! When it comes to health, there should be no compromises.” Pawan Singh aka Zafar Ali Mirza shares, “My health not only affects me but my family as well. And if not for me, I stay in good shape and form for them. My wife keeps a check on my calorie intake and makes sure I exercise daily. Get yourself a fitness buddy this World Health Day and never skip a day of fun and fitness.” AkanshaSharma aka Sakina Mirza shares, “Pre-Covid, my friends and I would get together twice a week and groove to Bollywood tunes. It was a great way of mingling with friends and staying at the top of your health. Friends play an important part in keeping your mental health in check as well. We soon switched to zoom dance parties to continue the beautiful tradition.” Kamna Pathak aka Rajesh Singh shares, “Wellness of the body starts from the inside. Maintaining a strict diet that allows you cheat days on special occasions is a must. Life is too short to spend worrying about ailments and diseases. As it is we are facing a pandemic that has taken a toll on our bodies. Nourish yourselves with nutrition and love.” Gracy Singh aka Santoshi Maa shares, “World Health Day is a subtle and much needed reminder to everyone. For me meditation and yoga keeps me physically and mentally fit. The calming soothing effect that one hour of daily meditation has on me beats any spa!”

&TV has roped in Bhojpuri megastar, Ravi Kishan for its upcoming crime series, ‘Mauka-E-Vardaat’. Produced by RaviRaj Creations, Hemant Prabhu Studioz, A&I Productions and Spacewalkker Films, Mauka-E-Vardaat is a riveting weekday crime series highlighting mysterious crime cases that will boggle the audience’s mind, compelling one to believe that the rhetoric ‘reality is stranger than fiction’. Having been away from the television scene for some time, Ravi Kishan is thrilled to make a comeback, and this is what he had to say about the show. Says Ravi, “I am delighted to be a part of the show, and I will be giving a glimpse into various crime cases. These cases are inspired by real life incidents and showcase different stories of most inconceivable, unimaginable crimes and unravel its mystery, approach, and methodology. Crime series has always fascinated me as I find them captivating and Informational. These help me know about the kind of crimes happening around us and how we can be more mindful, aware and alert. There have been so many shows on a variety of genres, but Mauka-E-Vardaat stood out for me. After understanding the concept in detail, I realized that the show had a refreshingly different concept of implausible and unbelievable crime stories beyond belief that will compel the viewers to know, Yeh Hua Toh Kaise Hua? When one watches a crime show, the main hook point for them to know how-it-happened, who-did-it, and what-happens-next, but this show will intrigue them to ask howdunnit than a whodunnit. I am eagerly looking forward on how the series pans out as a lot of hard work has gone into it and of course the continued love, support and affection of all my viewers.”

Watch Ravi Kishan in ‘Mauka-E-Vardaat’ premiering on March 9th, 2021 at 7:00 pm, every Monday to Friday only on &TV!
