Parakh Madan and Manoj Chandila in BBC's next for Life OK

Life OK’s upcoming show tentatively titled Ek Bhoond Ishqiya, produced by BBC Worldwide and writer turned producer Saba Mumtaz, has been roping in some big names. After finalizing Viraf Phiroz Patel, Chhavi Pandey, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Gauri Tonk, they now rope in Manoj Chandila and Parakh Madan for pivotal roles. While Parakh has been cast to play the elder sister of the lead girl Chhavi, Chandila will play the younger brother of the male lead Viraf. We hear that Parakh’s character will have a negative shade as the story goes on. Manoj Chandila was last seen in Zee TV’s Mrs. Kaushik ki Paanch Bahuein, while Parakh was seen in Sahara One’s Niyati. When contacted, Parakh Madan told us, “Yes, I am in talks with BBC for this particular show on Life OK. But I have not yet signed on the dotted lines, so would not know the exact position.” We tried calling Manoj Chandila but he remained unavailable for comments. As per our source, the makers plan to shoot their pilot from tomorrow (9 May 2013). We tried to get a confirmation on this piece of news from a source from BBC, but could not get any response.
