Meet kannika’s best friend 

Kanikka Kapur, also known as Suman from the most loved show of Sony Entertainment Television Ek Duje ke Vaaste 2 reveals on how she would select her partner. Kanikka is her Daddy’s princess and certainly would not take any decision without considering with her father and she has the same clause for her future boyfriend.

Kanikka is best friends with her father and shares all aspects of her life with him. Her father too understands her and supports her and guides her wherever the need be. Kanikka who recently turned 25 has revealed that her father has no problems with her dating somebody. It is just that the guy should follow some clauses set by her father. Speaking about the same Kanikka Kapur aka Suman said: “I am comfortable sharing my personal life with my parents and they have been supportive of it. I am currently not dating anyone but my father has surely set some clauses for me if I date someone in the future.” When asked about what kind of a guy she or her father wants, she said: “The guy should be as responsible as I am. Currently I am focusing on my career and I expect the guy to do the same. Looks doesn’t matter to me, but the guy should focus on building up his own career and support me in what I do. It is okay for me to date a guy who is outside of the industry, he should also respect my parents and treat them like his own. Also, he should have my father’s approval. In short, my king will select my prince charming.”

The current track of Kanikka’s show is taking a major twist as Shravan’s secret would be revealed in Anish’s party and the new friends Suman and Shravan would be seen fighting while Suman slaps Shravan. What is this secret? Will the two star-crossed lovers unite back?

Ent specialists on IBD

Sony Entertainment Television’s latest offering, India’s Best Dancer is garnering a lot of positive attention for its interesting content and the variety of talent that is being showcased on the dance show. The contestants who have come from different cities across the country are battling it out with each other only to bag the coveted title of India’s Best Dancer. While the judges, Malaika Arora, Geeta Kapur and Terence Lewis are evaluating contestants on three factors mainly ENT, which is Entertainment, Newness and Technique, they are having a tough time scrutinising them considering the phenomenal talent that is being featured in the show.

One such talent who left the judges spellbound with her performance is Swetha Warrier from Kerala. Swetha performed western-classical fusion along with choreographer Aishwarya on the song Dilbar.  She got positive comments from all three judges for her act. However, Malaika was quite intrigued by her performance and was happy to know that both Swetha and her choreographer Aishwarya hail from Kerala, which is also where Malaika belongs to. So much so that Malaika even coined a term for the two, she said on the show she would like to call them “Malla ke Mallus.” Seeing them perform took the dancing diva back to her roots in Kerala and she even complimented their act in Malayali.”

Swetha, who was happy to receive good remarks from judges, said: “I started dancing when I was three and half. My mother is my inspiration. She is a professionally trained dancer and I still learn from her.”  Swetha’s mother was touched seeing her daughter perform on stage and the mother-daughter duo later even performed Bharatanatyam on the song Aami Je Tomar in front of the judges.

Siddhaanth’s transformation 

Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi has been a popular TV face for years now and he has a massive fan following, especially amongst the ladies. Being part of several top shows, we've seen him don several looks. But for Zee TV's upcoming fiction show — Kyun Rishton Mein Katti Batti, the actor wanted to have a slightly different look. Playing a dashing, jet setting businessman on the show, he had to look a certain way and the makers experimented with several looks with the actor before arriving on one!

To be the hot and happening Kuldeep as they had envisioned, Siddhaanth had to reinvent his fitness regime. He along with the makers wanted to break the image of onscreen fathers and hence, they planned to make him look like a desirable man with quite the physique. Thus began the actor's transformation where he had to lose some of his belly fat, build six pack abs and gain some muscle. For the same, he went on a special diet and worked out regularly for a period of six months and, well, the results speak for themselves. But the transformation wasn't easy for Siddhaanth! The actor had recently undergone a surgery and just as soon as he recovered, he took on the role and committed himself to playing it to the hilt!

The actor revealed: “You know, there is this notion in everyone's mind that all the fathers on TV shows look a certain way. But who says dads can't be sexy? So, to break this mindset, we finalized on a ripped look and I knew there was a lot of hard work in store for me, especially post my surgery.  After being diagnosed with stage one arthritis in my shoulder last year, I had to get a surgery done for the same. In fact, when the show was offered, I was still undergoing rehab. But my transformation phase helped me notnonly get into the skin of the character but also feel fitter overall.”

Talking about his regime, Siddhaanth mentioned: “I just worked out regularly for six months, not missing one day or one session. Having three different trainers allowed me to focus on all the aspects of my body and they helped me tone down and get into the shape that we envisioned for Kuldeep. I also focused on my diet, which comprised of healthy alternatives and protein-rich food which helped us achieve the ripped body look.”
