Yug is the cutest guy in town!

 Yug with Vrinda
Last night, I had a big row with my sister Sania. We were fighting over Yug! She said that Yug looked like Prem (Harshad Chopda), the lead actor in Jis Des mein hein mera dil.
To annoy me further she insisted that Prem was cuter than Yug! How could I stand such rubbish? I have fallen in love with Yug the day Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna was aired on Star India Plus.

Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna is a sweet love story being aired on Star Plus. Most of my Indian Harshad Chopda aka Premfriends who have shifted base to the US watch Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna. You can tune into Star India Plus at 10 pm Monday through Thursday to watch this soap. It is good that Star India Plusis available in the US. Some very good programs are aired on Star India Plus. You can contact your cable operator, Dish Network or Direc TV to get the channel on your TV.
Star One and Star Plus air very entertaining desi programs and reality shows.

Birth of a new star

Harshad Chopra

Nach Baliye has got a new star. Harshad Chopra made a special debut on Nach Baliye in front of the judges and the contestants of Nach Baliye 4 in the special episode of Maha Muqabala on Star One in the US. He danced to the tunes of the popular remixes of old Hindi songs. He won applauds from not only the judges of Nach Baliye but also from the audiences. Indians are truly good at dancing.

I am waiting eagerly to watch the next episode of Maha Muqabala on Nach Baliye-4 in Star One. Make sure that even you don’t miss the next episode of Nach Baliye-4 on Star One in US. Both STAR ONE and STAR PLUS are available in United Sates on Dish Network, DirectTV and your local cable provider. And in case your cable or Dish and Direct dealer dose not provides you STAR Television make sure you ask them to do so or you would miss the most sought after television serial in United States.

Vrinda-a strange mistery

Vrinda and Yug

It’s strange how Indian girls can complicate things so easily. Vrinda has confessed to Yug that she has fallen in love with him. But, she does not want to continue with this relationship because she thinks her family would never accept their relationship and subsequent marriage. Vrinda, you should first speak with your parents and then decide your future course of action. Yug has won the hearts of your family members and hence may consent to this new relationship.

Make sure that even you don’t miss the next episode of Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna on Star Plus in US. Both STAR ONE and STAR PLUS are available in United Sates on Dish Network, DirectTV and your local cable provider.

Nach Baliye 4 crowns Shaljit as the winning jodi

Krishma with Farah
It was a feverish evening on Sunday at the sets of Nach Baliye 4. Not only was the air tense with who-is-going-to-win but the presence of Shah Rukh Khan and sensuous Lara Dutta had shot the mercury up. When the lovely jodi of Shaleen and Daljit were declared the winners, David (my American boy friend) asked me to fetch a bottle of champagne.
I could not wait to ring up mom in India. But I wrote her a mail in stead. Thanks to Star Plus I am still connected to India despite living in the US.

It was really witty when the judges were awarded the apt title of “Rakhi Sawant Walkout Award”. The judges had once walked out after the contestants protested against the new rules or rather the twists. My favorite Arjun Rampal was honored with the Great Laughter Champion Award while Karisma Kapoor won the Cut-Cut Queen Award.
Nach Baliye 4 was a great journey. There was good dance, lot of twists and great dhamal. You must tune into Star Plus for some very great desi shows. Star One and Star Plus are available in the US.

Three cheers for Shaleen and Daljit

Karishma Kapoor

Finally Shaleen and Daljit have made it to the grand finale of Nach Baliye 4! I always knew the duo would make it to the Maha Mukabala! Both Shaleen and Daljit are hard working and their performance speaks for their dancing skill!

They have always been in the good books of the judges. In fact, I remember once Karishma Kapoor was actually crying when Shaleen and Daljit had not performed well. That is taking the matter too far!! Anyways, I will be flying out of Chicago next weekend for a small reunion with my father’s friend. Seems like he is fixing up a match or something for me!!! But I am going to have fun. Will watch load of movies and of course Nach Baliye !

Vrinda cooks Yug’s favorite dish.

yug and Vrinda



I love Indian dishes. They are a delicacy here in the US. And, this sentiment seems to be echoed by the Indian shows also. Vrinda’s love for Yug may be hidden for now but the fire of their love is spreading fast. Vrinda’s love for Yug was revealed once again when she made parathas for Yug, his favorite dish. Someone has very correctly said that the way to win a man’s heart is via his stomach. Keep it up, Vrinda.

Make sure that even you don’t miss the next episode of Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna on Star Plus in US. Both STAR ONE and STAR PLUS are available in United Sates on Dish Network, DirectTV and your local cable provider. And in case your cable or Dish and Direct dealer dose not provides you STAR Television make sure you ask them to do so or you would miss the most sort after television serial in United States.

“Elimination” a bitter pill to swallow

Emraan Hasmi





Emraan Hashmi, the superstar of Bollywood, was given the unenviable job of declaring the names of the couples eliminated from Nach Baliye. He declared the results by painting the eliminated jori’s number. Sudeep and Anantika, jori no.14, was declared as the eliminated jori from Nach Baliye-4; a tragic end to their wonderful performances in the show. We, in the US, definitely didn’t expect such an abrupt end to this wonderful jori.

I am waiting eagerly to watch the next Maha Muquabala round in Nach Baliye-4 on Star One. Make sure that even you don’t miss the next episode of Nach Baliye-4 on Star One in US. Both STAR ONE and STAR PLUS are available in United Sates on Dish Network, DirectTV and your local cable provider.

Dill Mill Gaye-N2O took over everyone!!!



The alarming effect of N2O, commonly known as laughing gas, is not unknown from anybody. In Sanjeevani hospital of Dill Mill Gaye, almost everyone including Dr. Shubhankar, Dr. Kirti, Ridhimaa, Atul, Muskaan and Anjali were intoxicated by the effect of N2O. The after effects were hilarious. Everybody just broke up. I think so far it was the best episode of Dill Mill Gaye.

Dill Mill Gaye is a huge hit in California as well. All the Indians of California watch this serial dedicatedly.

Dill Mill Gaye-Dr. Anjali with her shimmering stilettos


I have always liked Dr. Anjali of Dill Mill Gaye. I think she is that one hot chick in the serial, who carries herself really well. I have admired her style from day one. But, in the last episode, she just stole the show with her exquisite pair of stilettos. It was shown when she banged into Atul and Armaan. Those stilettos were just out of the world. I wish I could find one such. Here, in California I hardly get any occasion to wear such stuff. But I will find one if I get such a pair of stilettos.

Fire on the sets of Tujh Sang Preet Lagayi Sajna

Yug- Vrinda

A few days ago the set of Tujh Sang Preet Lagayi Sajna caught fire. I read on the Internet that the fire engulfed the beautiful house where Vrinda lives. Luckily none of the crew got hurt. Tujh Sang Preet Lagayi Sajna is a lovely tale of Vrinda and Yug who fall in love despite the enmity between the two families. Most of my American friends cannot pronounce Indian names well. It is amazing that Kate can speak good Hindi. Well, that is because she has actually spent her childhood in India.

VrindaI can discuss Hindi soaps with her. She compares Yug of Tujh Sang Preet Lagayi Sajna with Jughead just to annoy me! She knows that I am crazy about Yug. Tujh Sang Preet Lagayi Sajna is aired on Star Plus. Not many people seem to know that Star Plus is available in the US. Star Plus and Star One are available on Dish Network or Direc TV.

Sizzling Amrita on Nach Baliye 4

Amrita Rao<br />

Last episode of Nach Baliye 4 was fantastic.Hiten and Gauri introduced Amrita Rao as the special guest on Nach. With the grand finale of Nach round the corner, the contestants appeared to be nervous. In fact the competition has heated up so much that even the erstwhile hot Amrita Rao was looking cool in comparison!! She was promoting her forthcoming movie- Victory. I hope I will be able to watch this movie. When I was in India I used to watch almost all movies. However, after I shifted to America, life has changed a lot. I always feel that I have no time for myself. Anyways, I do allow myself a few luxuries like watching Star TV. Nach Baliye is my favorite show on Star TV. It is a good way to start my weekend. I adored Naman and Megha's performance on tere naina!

Nach Baliye 4 is aired on Star Plus every Friday and Saturday at 8pm. Star Plus is available in the US. There are some great programs that are aired on Star One and Star Plus.

Dill Mill Gaye-Super cool Armaan in trouble!!!



Armaan of Dill Mill Gaye, aired on Star Plus, is in a very compromising situation. On one side, he does not want anyone to know about his relationship with Riddhima and on the other side he is helping Dr Shubhankar to bring the culprit to book. Ironically, he is the culprit himself. It’s real fun to watch his idiosyncrasies.

Here in Chicago, I follow Dill Mill Gaye everyday. I am a huge fan of Armaan as he reminds me of a friend back home.

Nach Baliye presents solo performances

Solo Performances at Nach

This Friday Nach Baliye presented a huge twist- the contesting jodis went their separate ways! Well, before you wonder what was going on, let me tell you that the theme of this weeks’s Nach Baliye was solo performance. Each baliye in a jodi performed a solo special. The judges scored the performers on a scale of 5 points. The pressure on performing alone was evident on each of the couples. Together Naman-Megha, Kapil-Anjali and Shaleen-Daljit have been performing consistently. Performing a solo was definitely a big challenge. Inspired by the performance I am planning to take up dance classes soon. Anybody out there who knows of a good dancing tutor near Lincoln Square, Chicago IL, let me know.

Nach Baliye 4 is aired on Star Plus. Some of the best programs are aired on Star One and Star Plus. Star One and Star Plus is available in the US.

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata hai

Last night Annie and I were discussing the sanctity of marriage. “Marriage is not a relationship that develops out of convenience. It is an institution”, interrupted Mom. Mom gets along really well with all my friends. In fact, my friends adore her. They do find it a little odd that Mom speaks in a different accent. Mom was born and brought up in India. She left India to be with her husband in the Silicon Valley. Although I was born in America, I have always liked the idea of being in India. We went to India about 5 years ago. I saw a cow lazing in the middle of a busy road!!

In order to spruce up my Hindi, I watch Hindi soaps with mom. She has grown increasingly fond of a particular soap called, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The soap has recently been launched on Star Plus. Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is a cute story about traditions and changing values. Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai focuses on the beauty of arranged marriage. Mom is totally gaga about the serial. I also like Akshara , the lead actress of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai

You can watch Yeh Rishta Kya Kya Kehlata Hai on Star Plus. Star One and Star Plus are available in the US. If you would like to have Star Plus and Star One, call your cable operator. Star Plus and Star One are available on Dish Network or Direc TV. Click here for more information.

“Abhimanyu” the new Hitler of Sanjeevani

Dr Abhimanyu

Dr Abhimanyu has rightly been awarded the title Hitler by the staff members of Sanjeevani. His strict attitude has not only offended the staff but also the young interns of the Hospital. From the ward boy to the interns, all seem to fear Dr Abhimanyu alike. However, there is one exception in this league, namely Dr Nikki. Not only has she defied him time and again but also made him a subject of joke by smearing cake on his face in front if all of his patients. This daredevil act has, however, not gone down well with Dr Abhimanyu. This promises us a whole new range of interesting spats between them in the upcoming episodes.

Come on Dr Nikki you can do it and bring the proud and arrogant Dr Abhimanyu to the ground. I really do wish to see what happens next between Dr Abhimanyu and Dr Nikki at Dil Mil Gaye in Star One. Both STAR ONE and STAR PLUS are available in United Sates on Dish Network, DirectTV and your local cable provider. And in case your cable or Dish and Direct dealer dose not provides you STAR Television make sure you ask them to do so or you would miss the most sort after television serial in United States.

Armaan’s new competitor

Dr Abhimanyu

Dr Armaan seems to be going through tough times. Armaan, who is already working hard to win back Dr Riddhima’s love, has a competitor to deal with now. Dr Abhimanyu, the new head of Sanjeevani hospital, has also fallen in love with Dr Riddhima. Moreover, to make things worse, even Dr Shubhankar seems to be convinced that Riddhima’s actual lover is Dr Atul, Armaan’s best friend. Oh God!!! What is going to happen to Armaan’s love? I wish the US government could bail him out too.

I want see what happens next in Dill Mill Gaye on Star One daily from Monday to Thursday. Both STAR ONE and STAR PLUS are available in United Sates on Dish Network, DirectTV and from your local cable provider. And, in case your cable, Dish and Direct dealer does not provide you STAR Television make sure you ask them to do so or you would miss the most sought after television serial in the United States.

Nach Baliye 4- Naman perform Chichi’s dance


My brother and I were fighting on who will win Nach Baliye 4. We both love to watch Nach Baliye 4 aired on Star Plus. My brother’s favourite couple is Naman and Megha while my favourite Jodi is Shaleen and Daljit.


My brother Nikhil cannot discuss about the show with his friends as most of them are Americans. We both discuss and argue about the show. Last week’s theme was famous Bollywood couple. Naman and Megha gave an outstanding performance. They performed in Maine paidal se ja raha tha from the movie Hero No1. They had a tough task because dancing like Govinda (Chichi) and Karishma is difficult. The judges were really impressed by their Nach.


I told all my Indian friends in New York to watch Nach Baliye 4. If they don’t have Star Plus, they can easily get by contacting dealer of Dish Network or DirecTV. All the best programs are on STAR Television and you can watch it anywhere in the United States.

Atul’s innocent love for Anjali

Anjali
Atul’s innocent love for Anjali seems to be going no where. Anjali has once again reiterated her dislike for Atul to Armaan. However, Atul like any true lover is not going to accept this defeat so easily. And, hence to impress her Atul has baked a Pie Cake for her. A sweet loving gesture to express once love. I am waiting to see how Anjali reacts to this and whether she accepts Atul’s proposal or not. And it’s a tip for me and all my friends in Los Angeles to win the heart of once loved once.

Armaan’s striving to win heart of Dr Shashank

Armaan

Armaan’s endeavor to win the heart of Dr Shashank is becoming more and more interesting. Dr Shashank follows a very strict health routine which is quite opposite to Armaan’s lazy plain. However, Armaan in his desperate attempt to win the heart of Dr Shashank has decided to out class him in Tennis. But much to his dismay Dr Shashank has defeated him comprehensively in Tennis. We at Los Angeles are waiting eagerly to see Armaan succeed in his venture in the next episode of Dil Mill Gaye on Star One.

Star Plus presents Yeh Rishta Kya Kya Kehlata Hai

 Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata hai

I have often wondered why we watch television. My husband is addicted to CNN and BBC, cartoon network features among the five-things-I-cannot-live-without for my 5 year old and I was satisfied with watching a titbit here and there. However, things have changed in Mehta household since the launch of Yeh Rishta Kya Kya Kehlata Hai. It is a new soap aired on Star Plus.


I really like the story line of Yeh Rishta Kya Kya Kehlata Hai. It is a story of most couples of my generation who are strangers before they say I do. My American friends are astonished by the concept of arranged marriage. When I tell them that I agreed to marry Rishi, I had hardly talked to him for ten minutes. I believe Yeh Rishta Kya Kya Kehlata Hai will reinforce the beauty of Indian culture, tradition and ethics through its simple story.

You can watch Yeh Rishta Kya Kya Kehlata Hai on Star Plus. Star One and Star Plus are available in the US. If you would like to have Star Plus and Star One call your cable operator. Star Plus and Star One are available on Dish Network or Direc TV. Click here for more information.

Reshmi faints on Nach Baliye 4 sets

Reshmi Ghosh with Amit Gupta

The competition at Nach Baliye 4 is getting tougher with every passing week. I like watching the performance on Fridays more than on Saturdays. This is because every Saturday one jodi is evicted from the show.

While I was watching Nach Baliye 4 on Saturday, I could feel the tension in air before Hiten announced the bottom two. My favorite jodi Reshmi and Amit were once again in the bottom three. Just before Hiten announced if the duo were in the bottom 2 Reshmi fainted. Everybody was stumped as Reshmi fell down. But soon the doctor came and everything was alright. The couple gave a great performance despite Reshmi’s ill health. Sadly, when the results were announced Amit and Reshmi had to say goodbye and leave the show.

Nach Baliye 4 is aired on Star Plus. Some of the best programs are aired on Star One and Star Plus. Star One and Star Plus is available in the US.

Dill Mill Gaye- DMG- Armaan Nikita –unrequitted love

Dill Mill Gaye

In a new twist to Dill Mill Gaye on STAR PLUS, we find a chapter of unrequited love between the medical interns Armaan and Nikita. What I and few others here in Boston personally do not understand is how Nikita can even think of being so passionately in love with Armaan. She has been a good friend of Armaan all through in college. Morover she is painfully aware of Ridhhima’s presence in Armaan’s life. How can she think of swearing herself to Armaan time and again. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to watch the outcome of this triangle on Dill Mill Gaye aired on Star Plus.

Dill Mill Gaye is aired all over in the US. STAR ONE and STAR PLUS are available in the United States on Dish Network, DirecTV and your local cable provider. Click here for more information.

Star Plus presents Nach Baliye 4 in the US

 Farah Khan


Happy New Year to all of you! My resolution for this year is to follow the footsteps of Farah Khan. No, I do not have any offers to become a judge in any reality show, however I am only trying to lose weight. Farah Khan is looking fabulous in Nach Baliye 4 after she lost five kilos within one month. Before the show was aired Farah followed a strict diet comprising fresh fruits and vegetable juices through the week followed by one day of normal diet.

I have been watching Nach Baliye 4 from the time it started in October last year. I was worried that I would not be able to continue watching Nach Baliye 4 and my other favorite shows that are aired on Star Plus and Star One when I moved to the US to stay with my daughter. However, to my great relief Star Plus and Star One are available in the US as well.

You can contact your cable operator, Dish Network or Direc TV to get Star Plus on your TV. Some of the best programs are aired on Star One and Star Plus.

Imagine item bomb Rakhi Sawant dressed as a sassy waitress waiting on your table, taking your order of a tall cappuccino. Well, this might just come true! Rakhi Sawant will be participating in the new reality show Arre Deewano Mujhe Pehchano which is being launched by Star Plus. Rakhi Sawant had featured in Nach Baliye3 with her boy friend Abhishek. The couple had given some great performance. But unfortunately Rakhi could not win the Nach. As expected Rakhi had accused Star Plus of cheating and created a scene. However, it looks like both Rakhi and Star Plus have come over the past misgivings. Now that Rakhi has broken up with Abhishek, the single lady is perhaps ready to mingle again in 2009.

Arre Deewano Mujhe Pehchano kick-starts from today. Star Plus is available in the United States on Dish Network or Direc TVand your local cable provider.
