Divyanka Tripathi

<p>The new season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa has begun and Gashmeer Mahajani is one of the confirmed contestants of the show. TellyChakkar got in touch with the actor and asked him whom he takes as the toughest competitor and which is the one style he would love to try that he feels is difficult.</p>

It’s been almost a year since she was last seen on television as the simple Vidya in Banoo Main Teri Dulhan – that is if you discount her appearance in a singing reality show – but Divyanka Tripathi has still not been able to shirk off her popular character. Though she likes us to believe that she wants everyone, especially the viewers to forget her ‘Vidya’ and see her in a new light, something tells us she is secretly happy to be still remembered for her debut role.

Tellychakkar was the first one to give you the report of Sharad Malhotra quitting Dulhann. We were also the first one to break the news of the entry of veteran actor Ahmed Khan in place of Kamya Punjabi. With so many changes going on in the serial, we decided to call up the lifeline of the show -- the beautiful Divyanka Tripathi -- to enquire about her future plans vis-a-vis Dulhann the show which helped her find a foothold in the industry. We caught her in Bangalore where she is visiting her sister for a family function. Excerpts from the tete-a-tete: <strong>

This small town girl from Bhopal nurtured the dream of carving a niche for herself, and she proved to be the chosen one amongst the millions. We are talking about the beautiful and talented, Divyanka Tripathi, the protagonist of Zee's new show Banoo Mein Teri Dulhan. A former model, anchor, adventure sports freak; the phrase 'been there, done that' is apt for her persona. In an exclusive interview with Sameera Kapoor, Divyanka talks about her journey from being girl-next door in Bhopal to being the brand new face of Zee. "All these fame seems to be fantastic." <strong>
