There will be a Lohri special integration episode of Sahara One’s <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/amber-and-niyati-engage-verbal-duel-niyati>Niyati</a> and <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/shweta-gautams-entry-sahara-ones-tujh-sang-preet-lagai-sajna-open-mystery-track>Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna</a>.

The news of Jayshree Soni being replaced in Sahara One’s <em>Niyati</em> has been doing the rounds for a while now. As per the latest media reports, the production house (Dheeraj Kumar’s Creative Eye) is believed to have roped in Rucha Gujrathi as the new Niyati. But folks…we have a different tale to tell. Our sources have informed that it’s not Rucha but Bengali beauty Sayantani Ghosh who will come on board.

2012 has just started and already many renowned shows across channels have been taken off air. Now, Tellychakkar.com earlier broke the news of Creative Eye’s (Dheeraj Kumar’s) show on Sahara One, <a href="http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/neem-neem-shahad-shahad-going-air-10-february"><em>Neem Neem Shahad Shahad</em></a>, breathing its last on10 February 2012. However, here’s some good news for the production house and the fans of the soap. The channel has decided to give <em>Neem Neem…</em> an extension of three months.

There has been news about Imagine going through self censorship due to which most of the upcoming shows on the channel are going through creative changes. But, the latest is the Creative Eye production, <em>Naxas Khoon Mein Lipti Ek Prem Kahani</em>, has been scrapped by the channel.

Even the Gods can’t resist temptations or what else can justify the split of actors Yashodhan Rana and Gayatri Shastri who played the mythical Shiva- Parvati in Doordarshan’s extremely popular <em>Om Namah Shivay</em>. The two after falling in love instantly had tied the knot much against the wishes of their respective families. Life was a bed of roses for this couple till Yashodhan allegedly started dating another girl. Rana and Shastri officially split last month.

<a href= http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/nupur-alankaar-sony-s-new-mushy-show>Nupur Alankaar</a> is back with Dheeraj Kumar’s production house. She had acted as Halki <em>bua</em> in his <em>Betiyann</em> but then made an abrupt exit. Reports then suggested that the actress had quit the show owing to her differences with Creative Eye, Kumar’s production house. And according to sources, she is now in its newly-launched <em><a href= http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/yeh-pyaar-na-hoga-kam-delhi-6-same-pinch>Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Kam</a></em>. She will play a pivotal role but a cameo.

Channels are now turning to the Gods to ramp up their TRP charts and break the clutter from the routine <em> saas-bahu</em> sagas. After NDTV's <em> Ramayan </em>, STAR introduced Mahabharata and Sony too followed suit and decided to re-telecast <em> Jai Hanuman</em>. Now a little birdie tells us that 9X is also joining the bandwagon and have approached veteran producer Dheeraj Kumar to produce a mega devotional show for them.

The plucky producer, Dheeraj Kumar, who was the man behind the recent topnotch shows like,<em> Jodee Kamaal Ki</em> (Star Plus) and<em> Man Mein Hain Vishwaas</em> (Sony), is gearing up with a latest offering -<em> Ghar Ki Laxmi Betiyaan,</em> which is slated for Zee TV. This daily promises to infuse a lineup of new stars in the industry. The channel is already flashing the promos of this social saga, which is most likely to be telecast in the 8.30 band on Zee TV.
