Sneha Wagh, gets a new friend on the set of Chandragupta Maurya

 

Chandragupta Maurya, the historical show on Sony Entertainment Television, brings forth some interesting dramatic content based on a true story of the life of the Mauryan King. The show that keeps its audience glued to the screens with new twists and turns on a daily basis hosts quite a few talented actors from the industry. Sneha Wagh who essays the character of Moora – Chandragupta’s mother, on the show, recently shared a really beautiful picture with a cute puppy named Rawn, that happens to be her friend’s pet. And the way she went crazy on seeing the puppy took everyone by surprise on seeing an all together new version of her.

 Sneha, who plays the role of Moora, Chandragupta’s mother and the former queen of Piplivan, seemed really happy with her new friend on the set. Dogs are a weakness of most of the girls, but it definitely means something if a dog can actually make you feel alive. She mentions, “I was very fond of pets during my childhood and finally got a dog to my place one day. After three days, my mom asked me to return him back. I was really reluctant and cried for an entire week to get that dog back. Unfortunately, my mom did not allow me to get a pet at home. I made up my mind to keep myself away from pets. But when I saw Rawn, everybody saw a different version of me. I couldn’t just control myself playing with that cute little pup and there I realised that it is very difficult to keep yourself away from the charm of pets. It seems as if I have got a new friend on the sets with whom can I just play around everywhere.”

Maggi- Party on the sets of Ladies Special

Ladies Special, the show with gobs of speciality in its three super caring, independent women - Bindu(Bijal), Prarthana(Chhavvi) and Meghna(Girija), whose lives revolve around their families and friends presents the most relatable show on Sony Entertainment Television.

The women on the sets have a very hectic schedule throughout and it is very less that the three leads shoot together. So, the women have made it a point to make the most of it when three of them shoot together. This time, they celebrated the togetherness with a maggi-party on the sets. Bijal Joshi who essays Bindu, is a big foodie and more than that loves to cook food. She is famous for making different types of Maggis and was forced to make Maggi for everyone on the set to celebrate womenhood and togetherness of three leads.

Bijal on this note says “When I was a kid, we had a small maggi shop near my house which had around 15 different types of maggi in its menu. My favorite out of them was Chilly garlic Maggi and Manchurian maggi. The owner was a sweet person and had real magic in his hands. I always wanted to learn to make all those kinds of maggis and thereby used to sit there for hours to observe and learn from him and used memorise the recipe and ingredients. When I told this to my co-actors, they all asked me to treat them with maggi and I happily obliged. It was pure bliss as there is nothing better than having a hot and sizzling plate of maggi while spending some gala time with your favourite people.”

The ladies that seem really serious on-screen are actually quite fun off-screen. Their camaraderie at the sets especially when they shoot together cannot be matched.

Real tears for reel villain

 

Star Bharat’s popular show, Musakaan, never fails to impress its viewers with different twists every week. Sudesh Berry, a popular face on the show has been one of the most talented actors in the industry and is gaining a lot of appreciation for his negative role in the show. Cast and crew on the set is always swearing by the many surprises of his acting skills.

Recently, the actor left the crew speechless in a shoot sequence, where Sirji thought he lost his son, Raunak forever and had cried his heart out but without the help of glycerin.

Speaking on the same Sudesh reveals, “It was the most emotionally challenging scene I have ever been in. When I'm acting, I live and breathe that character to the fullest. Acting becomes easy when you connect to the character. Also, I am very close to my son in real life. Thinking about it made me more emotional that I didn’t need any glycerin and tears just poured out.” Sources from the set also revealed that he immediately called up his son as soon as he finished shooting. 

We are really looking forward to see him more on the show.

Akhilendra Mishra’s head injury on Pyaar ke Papad

With more and more actors choosing to perform their own stunts, the senior artistes are equally keen on going the new Do-It-Yourself way. Playing a khadoos sasur, Akhilendra Mishra who plays Trilokinath in Pyaar Ke Papad, the actor had a last minute outdoor shoot and had to perform an intense scene at a local temple. While shooting the scene, Akhilendra accidently hit his head over a temple bell and had a head injury.

The actor, known for his professionalism, still continued with the shoot as he wanted to finish the sequence. However, after a while, Akhilendra Mishra was in immense pain and his forehead was swollen. The makers immediately stalled the shoot and secured him with ice packs and ointments for quick recovery.  It was a panicky situation for the entire cast and crew.

Sources reveal that, the later sequence was entirely based on Omkar and Trilokinath’s scenes. However, since the actor had to leave for the day until good health the shoot was stalled for a day until Akhilendra resumed the next evening.
