Meet Badshah Akbar aka Vishal Jethwa from Maharana Pratap

Here, we are talking about 20 year old young kid, Vishal N Jethwa, who is recently playing a role of Badshah Akbar in Maharana Pratap.
Talking about his journey, Vishal says, “Without my mother’s support, I am nowhere. She has brought me up alone. My father expired in the year 2008 due to a sudden heart attack and we had to struggle a lot. There were times, when no one used to look at my family, but after my success, everybody comes to us.
I have not changed at all, but people have changed after my popularity.”
Vishal is not at all fond of history subject; still he has managed to make a mark in historical serial. “I do not like history subject at all. I am more close to acting and dancing. Playing a character of Akbar was very tough for me. The language, the attitude is totally different. My production team has worked very hard in shaping me from Vishal to Akbar. Starting days, I had to struggle, but now am very comfortable with the ongoing character”, says 20 year old young kid.
Talking about the chemistry between him and Faizal Khan, Vishal quips, “It is totally the opposite of what audiences see onscreen. We are best friends; in fact we play lot of pranks and do lot of masti on set.”
Like all other television artist, Vishal too has a dream of making his place in Bollywood. Vishal says,” Yes, it is a dream for me too, to see myself in Bollywood. I want to play a young Hritik Roshan in a movie, because in some manner I look like him, specially my eyes. Let’s see what’s store in my destiny.”
Working in a daily soap is not easy. “We have to work very hard to entertain our viewers. There has been time, where we work day and night so that our show doesn’t get suffer. But all is well that ends that, after all our show is getting a good ratting, so we will continue working hard on our show”, concludes Vishal Jetwa.

Sridevi and her daughters spotted leaving a theatre
Lately Sridevi has been making a lot of public appearances with her daughters- Jhanvi and Khushi. While taking her daughters on red carpet events is a routine affair for this mamma, especially her elder daughter Jhanvi, she recently tweeted a picture of herself and her daughters clad in Japanese attires. Buzz has it that her elder daughter Jhanvi shall be making her Bollywood debut soon. However, something out of the ordinary happened last night, the media crazy Sri who loves being clicked with her brood shied away from the media glare while exiting from a theatre in Mumbai.
Probably it was her attire that was making her conscious or the no-makeup look. Clad in a track suit, Sridevi looked quite perturbed as the shutter bugs closed in for a good view. Hiding her face with her hand and pretending to be busy on the phone could not solve the purpose because this yester years’ beauty simply looked thrown out-of-place. If mother dearest was behaving like this, how could her brood not take cue! Jhanvi totally seemed to be mimicking Sri as she too tried to avert media glare. The only person who was not looking taken aback and seemed comfortable in her skin was Sri’s younger daughter Khushi who faced the cameras confidently. While Sri might be trying hard to prepare Jhanvi for stardom, her younger daughter Khushi seems to be far more thick-skinned and confident than Jhanvi.

For the past few days, Hrithik Roshan was busy shooting for Bang Bang with Katrina Kaif. After the schedule got over, Hrithik made time to go out with parents. It is also interesting to note how Hrithik had quit smoking a few years back only to pick it up again post his split from wife Sussanne. Latest on Sussanne’s front is that the lady has already moved on with her life as she has been signing off her emails using her maiden surname ‘Khan’.

No work on Sundays for Jennifer Winget
Television actors throwing tantrums on sets have become too common now. Every now and then, you hear about a celeb who shows his starry tantrums and poor production house has to fulfill all their fancies.
Recently, there was a buzz that Jennifer Winget refused to do intimate scene with Gautam Rode in serial Saraswatichandra. And now, here adds another feather in her tantrum cap. According to a source, “Jennifer never shoots on Sundays, no matter how important the scene may be. She had made very clear that she will not shoot on Sundays, but being the lead of the show, there have been times, when we require her for some time, but she totally refuses it. Even for important sequence like, Kumud and Saras marriage, we have used the dupe. She is very uncooperative e on set and rests of the actors are very much aware of her tantrums.”
Now can you imagine the pain of the producer? To make the show hit, the makers put so much energy and money, but such uncooperative attitude from the artists brings so much pain for them. Isn’t it?

With Aaradhya Bachchan old enough to be sent to school, Aishwarya is all geared up to make a comeback to the big screen. Earlier reports suggested that Ash would be making a comeback with Mani Ratnam’s project; however, the actress has chosen an action filled flick by Sanjay Gupta to make her grand come-back. Titled as Jazbaa, the film would be a first ever film where Ash would be seen doing some extreme actions sequences.

Gupta will cast her as the hero in Jazbaa. She will do all the stunts without the help of a body-double.She has already started training for the role. She has lost oodles of weight and will be in the shape that was when she played the svelte Sunehri in Dhoom 2 six years ago.”
