Kapil Nirmal

Na Aana Iss Desh Laado produced by Shakuntalam Telefilms has slipped down on the popularity chart of late. Some point fingers at the redundant plot whereas others talk about the not so attractive afternoon time slot (1pm). But the makers are bringing an impressive twist in the coming episodes to shoot up in ratings.

The recent episodes of Colors’ <em>Na Aana Is Desh Laado</em> have been up on the drama quotient. Since the time Jhanavi (<a href="http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/vaishanvi-dhanraj-quit-laado-get-back-cid”> Vaishnavi Dhanraj</a>) got to know Rana’s (Ayam Mehta) involvement in the mayhem in Veerpur, the latter has been behind her life. But the coming episodes will see a chase sequence happening between Rana and Jhanavi. Not only this, Rana will meet his end.

Colors’ popular daily soap <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/laado-shifts-afternoon-slot-mukti-bandhan-goes-air>Na Aana Iss Des Laado</a> has a huge fan following not only in India but across the globe. Its actors have become a household name now. The plot of the story is replete with interesting twists and turns, which keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Girls are indeed the best. We are not saying it. The Mast Kalandar boys of <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/shilpa-do-mujra-arshad-maria-dance-taani-anurag-grace-znd-2-finale>Zara Nachke Dikha 2</a> are eating humble pie as the <em>Massakali</em> girls whisk the trophy away once again from under their dancing toes.

Finally, after about four weeks, <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/siddhesh-wins-challenge-round-znd2-sees-no-elimination-yet-again>Zara Nachke Dikha 2</a> saw its first elimination. <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/judges-save-mukti-additi-target-next-week>Additi Gupta</a> who was tagged by the boys last week had to bow out despite putting in a good performance.

Last week the boys had targeted <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/snippets/after-neeti-and-shakti-its-mukti-now-enjoying-her-spot-sun>Mukti Mohan</a>, one of the best dancers from the girls’ team in <em><a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/siddhesh-wins-challenge-round-znd2-sees-no-elimination-yet-again>Zara Nachke Dikha 2</a></em>. She chose to perform a classical dance form but could not fetch good numbers from the judges.

The contestants of <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/now-hosts-znd-2-are-replaced-jennifer-and-rj-mantra-take-over-sanaya-mohit>Zara Nachke Dikha</a> have got third time lucky, as there won’t be any elimination this weekend too. Siddhesh Pai who was in the danger zone saved himself by giving a splendid performance.

Speculations are rife about the fate of Endemol’s Sabki Laadli Bebo that airs at 10 pm on Star Plus. The show will either wind up or will be placed in the afternoon slot of the channel. Buzz doing the rounds is that if the show is shifted to the afternoon slot then the show likely to be axed is Rashmi Sharma’s <em>Raja ki Aayegi Baarat</em>. Sharma in the meanwhile is all set to launch her second show on the channel.

Though the channel is refuting the buzz, Karan Singh Grover aka Dr Armaan of Dill Mill Gaye is no longer part of the second season of the forthcoming dance reality show <em>Zara Nachke Dikha</em>. If sources are anything to go by, then the hunk is not doing the show and the production house has already started looking for a suitable replacement. It is a hush-hush affair and the production house isn’t letting anyone get a hint of the names being considered. In all likelihood, <em>Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat</em> lead, Kapil Nirmal will be replacing him.

Ali Merchant seems to have become the new poster boy of Star Plus. First, he was brought back as Rituraj in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlaata Hai for a brief period on public demand. And now, he will play Angad, the new lead in <em>Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat</em> after the apparent exit of Kapil Nirmal. He is related to Surya Singh Rathore (Pankaj Dheer) and has come back to repent for his mistakes done earlier in his life.
