I eat two kilos of apples and two dozen oranges everyday says TV’s Bheem - Saurav Singh Gurjar

It’s not easy to essay the character of Bheem, one of the pivotal characters in Indian mythology. But for Saurav Singh Gurjar, who plays the role in the telly show Mahabharat, an even bigger challenge is adjusting to life in a big city like Mumbai.

A kickboxing champion and a wrestler, Saurav is quintessentially a small-town boy from Madhya Pradesh. In fact, the offer to act was a big surprise for him. Says he, “Even my forefathers have been associated with wrestling, so being an actor was never on my mind. In fact, I find life in Mumbai tough. It’s very congested. There is no room to walk in apartments and people are always running around or looking out from small windows in their buildings.”

The actor also has to maintain his diet. Standing tall at 6 feet 8 inches, he weighs 135 kilos and is a vegetarian. He says, “My weight is proportionate to my height. Wrestlers in India generally weigh around 127 kilos. I have no medical problems.”

The production house, says Saurav, takes care of his diet. He says, “My day starts with one litre of milk and 45 pieces of soaked badam. For breakfast, I have around six aloo parathas. Lunch consists of one litre dal and dahi, lots of veggies and around 16 rotis. I consume a lot of fruits — around two kilos of apples and oranges everyday. Now, I have started drinking protein shakes too. My dinner is heavier than my lunch, because I can’t sleep without eating properly at night.”

After male lead Ekta replaces dog in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein Show

Every dog has its day and Muthuswami is a perfect example of that adage. The labrador, who was to play an important role in the telly show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, was given a premature retirement with full benefits!
When the lab was brought in for the shot, Shobha Kapoor, producer Ekta Kapoor’s mom liked him so much she took him home.
But Muthuswami had trouble adjusting with another dog, who was already at Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor’s house. So, he was sent to their son Tusshar’s home. Initially, Muthuswami would travel to the location in one of the family’s swanky cars. But after a few days, Tusshar fell in love with Muthuswami so much that he put an end to the ‘dog labour’.
Divyanka Tripathi, who worked with Muthuswami, also tells us how baby male labradors are naughty and tough to handle. She says, “I already have a pug at home. So I thought I knew the dog psyche when I came on the set. But even after treating Muthuswami to many goodies and keeping him entertained did not work and he continued with his pranks. In fact, labs grow so fast that by now I have worked with seven ‘Muthuswamis’. ”
Meanwhile, the show found a replacement for Muthuswami. Interestingly, lead actor Cezanne Khan was also replaced by Karan Patel in the show.

Will Asad and Zoya fly to New York for three years?

Love is complicated and when it comes to your parent's love lives, even more so...

Qubool Hai recently showcased Asad's mother- Dilshad (Shalini Kapoor Sagar), wanting to go and live with her estranged husband- Rashid Ahmed Khan (Vaquar Shaikh) and his second wife Shireen (Surabhi Vanzara). Asad (Karan Singh Grover), who has grown up resenting his father for leaving them, is miffed with his mother for still choosing him over her kids.

Asad hates the fact that his mother is still in love with her husband. He leaves home in a fit of anger, and vows never to talk to her. A birdie from the sets of Qubool Hai told us that the show is apparently gearing up for a three to four year leap, where Asad will move to New York with his better half Zoya.

The new development is probably a result of the recent Television Audience Measurement (TAM) ratings, which have not been too great for the Zee TV show. Compared to all the other shows, the daily soap is far behind in the overall ranking (5830). The writers have tried to make several changes in the script but none have worked so far. Hence, the big leap.
Now, we are not sure as to what will happen post the leap, but the makers are planning to bring in some big twist
