Mythological shows in India have always managed to
captivate an audience with numerous unheard and fascinating tales of the great
Lords. Despite the tales being told and retold to a vast and varied audience,
these ancient epics have always managed to give a stiff competition to any
other form of fictional dramas.
After enjoying a successful run of mythological
shows like Jai Santoshi Maa and Paramavatar Shri Krishna, &TV is all set to
present the captivating tale of Lord Hanuman with Kahat Hanuman…Jai Shri Ram.
An incarnation of the powerful and supreme Lord
Shiva, Lord Hanuman was created as the most powerful being on earth with a
certain purpose and potential. Defining this purpose while giving viewers a
glimpse of the tale between Lord Shiva and the invincible evil Ravana, the show
will narrate the story of Lord Hanuman’s origin. It is set to take the viewers
on an interesting mythological journey of how Bal Hanuman eventually emerges as
the greatest devotee of Lord Ram and manages to bring a successful end to
Ravana’s reign of terror.
Mythology as a genre has been a staple of Indian
television. Despite the evolution of several genres, these age-old stories
entrenched in Indian culture, have always managed to attract mass appeal.
&TV’s new show, ‘Kahat Hanuman…Jai Shri Ram’ is a fresh perspective on one
of the greatest Indian Gods. It depicts the unexplored side of Lord Hanuman
while conveying relevant, contemporary messages.
Kahat Hanuman…Jai Shri Ram coming very soon only

The first thing that
you notice in a person is the smile which attracts the most. But what if the
person doesn’t like his own smile? Similar is the story of the lead actor of
Sony Entertainment Television’s recently launched show Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein.
Mudit Nayar who is the new chocolate boy of the television industry, seen as
Yogi in the show shared that he does not like his smile because of his front
rabbit teeth peeping out every time he smiles.
Although he has always received huge compliments
on his smile still, he never liked it. He used to avoid smiling because of with
his teeth being visible and stick to light smile for years. Later, he got his
teeth trimmed to laugh out openly without any fear of his rabbit teeth peeping
out. On the other hand, he loves his hair. He feels that his hairdo can make
him change his looks in a jiffy and help him a lot in carrying different looks
with ease.
When we reached out to Mudit to confirm the same,
he shared, “Yes, it is true that I was never a fan of my smile. In most of my
pictures, I carry a light smile with my teeth not visible to ensure that the
bunny teeth don’t ruin my picture. A lot of people have told me that I have an
adorable smile yet, I have never been convinced enough to smile broadly. I
finally decided to get my teeth chipped to smile boldly. But to my
astonishment, one of many reasons that I was selected for this role was because
of my smile. So, it, in fact, is lucky for me.” Laughingly he also added, “I do
like to smile now, but I am always conscious and keep my lips sealed.”
Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein is Yogi’s love story who is
hearing impaired yet full of life and enthusiasm. His family is looking for a
suitable match for him to get married and settle. Find out whether they can
find a match for him or not on Sony Entertainment Television.

&TV’s Main Bhi Ardhangini is all set to
present a new and intriguing plot with two new interesting supernatural
characters. Alongside, the crew will also bid farewell of two of its vital
characters who have been in the show ever since its inception - Madhav (Avinash
Sachdev) and Vaidehi (Aditi Rawat) whose romantic journey gave the viewers a
fresh and bold love story, then eventually both the characters’ journey coming
to a shocking end.
The makers, therefore, threw a farewell party for
the actors and to make this moment extra special, the malkin of the house and a
dear friend to all, Deepshikha Nagpal gave a special farewell speech
reminiscing all the memories and moments together with the actors. She spoke
about exploring the beautiful pink city of Jaipur together to celebrating every
festival, just like one big family, which made everyone nostalgic. Laughing
away the tears of joy, the cast and crew bid their last of the goodbyes to
Avinash and Aditi followed by a cake-cutting ceremony.
Bidding a final goodbye to the cast the almost
became like family, Aditi Rawat said, “It seems just like yesterday we began
our shoot for this show. No one knew back then that in such a short span of
time we would become so close and fond of each other. There is a lot that this
place and the people have taught me, both as an actor and as a person and I am
truly going to cherish it. Working with Deepshikha, Anjali and Avinash was
truly amazing, as was being the ‘roomie’ to my two co-actors. I wish them well,
and hope the show reaches great heights.”
Adding to this, Avinash Sachdev said, “Moving to a
city, far away from home surely seemed like the right decision. Unlike shooting
in Bombay, this was an altogether different experience and I am going to miss
working with this incredibly talented crew and cast. Sharing the screen with
Deepshikha was an honor while working with Anjali and Vaidehi was an exciting
experience. All in all, working with this team always felt like being home away
from home, and I think its this feeling that I am really going to miss. I hope
the show works well and continues receiving love in abundance.”
The show is all set to move into a new phase of
the supernatural story starting July 30th, 2019
