Dill Mill Gaye Rid-Sid to go on recovery road!!!


With the entry of Shilpa Anand, the fact has been established, if not obviously, that Riddhima (Jennifer Winget) will go with Sid (Karan Wahi) and Armaan (Karan Singh Grover) will start a new phase in his life with Shilpa (Shilpa Anand) on Star One's Dill Mill Gaye.


The latest is that, Riddhima will become more receptive and reciprocative of Sid's attempts at romancing her. According to our source, "Now that Sid has confessed to Riddhima about his feelings for her, there will be marked difference in her behaviour towards him."

The source says, "The two will start living together. The poles apart personalities that they are, they will try to change for one another, make adjustments that would make life compatible with each other."

"Now, there will be no more fights between the two. Just slow realization of the love they have for each other and the deep understanding of each other's feelings. There will be soft subtle romance brewing between the two, quite unlike the raging hatred that once brought them together," the source adds.

We spoke to Karan Wahi who says, "Yes, I have already shot for the sequence where Riddhima and I have started living together."

Will this be similar to Salaam Namaste in any way? "I haven't shot for anything that is similar to Salaam Namaste. We are a married couple who have finally made up our mind to live in the same house," he says.

We asked Karan if the current turn of events definitely plaster the fate of intern Shilpa as the lover of Dr.Armaan. To this the actor jovially replies, "Well, now Sid is fully concentrating on settling his life with Riddhima. He really doesn't have the time to check in on other people's love lives!"

Thus begins a new chapter in the parallel love stories of Rid-Sid and Shilpa-Armaan.

Neha Jhulka to be a part of Crime Patrol

Neha Jhulka who essayed the role of Naina in Star One's Dill Mill Gaye  gained a lot of fan following in a short span of time will be back in Sony TV's Crime Patrol.

Neha Jhulka had recently opted out of DMG as she wasn't satisfied with the manner in which her character was shaping up and after that she has been busy shooting for advertisements.

Now it seems as if Sony TV's concept of Crime Patrol really excited her and that is why she made up her mind to take it up.

A Little birdie informed us that, "Neha Jhulka will be seen in Crime Patrol essaying the role of Jessica Lal and the story is based on her life."

For the uninitiated, the Boolywood industry is also coming with a movie related to same theme under the aegis 'No One Killed Jessica' wherein Vidya Balan will be seen enacting the role of Sabrina Lal, Jessica's sister.

Sonia plays second wife again

Dr. Kirti aka Sonia Singh of Dill Mill Gaye fame will now enter in Zee TV’s popular serial Chhoti Bahu.


Just like Mihir Dev will be in a state of complete memory loss so he will be made to believe that he is Maitri’s husband who is mentally challenged and is a daughter of a landlord in Agra. After Dev declared dead Radhika will go to Agra to see her grandmother who is sick where she will see Dev and Maitri together.

Sonia Singh has also entered Imagine’s popular show Jyoti recently as Pankaj’s second wife Neelam.

Star one has confirmed that Shilpa Anand Is finally back in Dill Mill Gayye (DMG)

News from Shilpa's front
Shilpa has given her consent for DMG after that long meeting that took place few days ago. Shilpa and her mum were happy about Sidharth Malhotra's way of dealing things. The meeting was held to discuss about Shilpa's character, future track and her contract. Karan was present throughout the meeting. Apparently both the parties are happy. And Finally the contract has been signed. Shilpa will start shooting in 3-4 days. It might take less than 3-4 days, but YES CONTRACT HAS BEEN SIGNED.


News from CVs side

Sidharth Malhotra is quite confident about SA's come back. CVs wanted to bring SA as a new character named Dr Henna. But Shilpa suggested to change
her character's name to Dr Shilpa. So, may be Shilpa's onscreen name will be Shilpa only.

There were discussions regarding Shilpa's entry as Ridhima's
step sister. But this is not 100% confirmed, since Jennifer might leave once Shilpa enters. And incase Jennifer sticks to the show, according to Sidharth Malhotra two parallel storylines will be show, one a KaSh love story and the
other Shilpa-Ridhima's step sister bonding and all.

Back injury puts Karan on bed rest; hampers ZND plans?

Karan Singh Grover's Zara Nachke Dikha preparations have received a jolt with the actor suffering a back injury...

Karan Singh Grover fans rejoiced when they heard of his comeback as Dr. Armaan in Star One's Dill Mill Gayye. They had yet another reason to smile when the actor confirmed that he is going to be part of the dance reality show on Star Plus, Zara Nachke Dikha.

But there seems to be a setback in Karan's preparations for the show.

31A_Karan-Singh-GroverA little birdie tells us, "Karan has suffered a major back injury that has restricted his activity as of now. He has not been shooting for Dill Mill Gaye for the past few days, and is advised bed rest by doctors. So it looks unlikely that he will get alright in time to be part of Zara Nachke Dikha".

A point to be noted here is that, Karan was not even seen during the show's press conference. Till date, he has shot only for a promo and was not even seen in the exclusive music video shot at Karjat. While all the other contestants are making it count at the rehearsal halls, Karan has never been seen shaking his leg.

A contestant of Zara Nachke Dikha on terms of anonymity told us, "Yes, it is true that Karan has suffered a back injury which has forced him to be on bed rest. We have not seen him at the rehearsals, so this makes us wonder whether he will be fit enough to take part in the show".

An actor from the sets of Dill Mill Gaye also confirmed that Karan has suffered a back injury and is not shooting for the show.

The birdie told us, "There was a stage rehearsal organized yesterday for all the contestants, and Karan's absence was felt. But this does not mean that Karan has backed out of the show. There is a possibility that Karan be kept away from the dance floor for the initial episodes, as the concept gives room for a select few to perform every week. This will surely give more time for Karan to recover".

A person close to Karan though told us that, "Karan will not be part of Zara Nachke Dikha as he cannot continue dancing with the back injury suffered".

However, a spokesperson from the channel told us that, "These are all speculations. Karan is very much part of Zara Nachke Dikha".

When contacted, Fazila Aleena of SOL told us, "This is news to me. I really do not have any idea about Karan's injury. You are giving me a shock now".

Panchi Bora and Shilpa Anand considered to play Riddhima?

While the fans of Karan Singh Grover have not yet finished partying after getting  their handsome hunk back again in Star One's Dill Mil Gaye, there comes this news that the show will get back its original Riddhima i.e. Shilpa Anand. 11Z_shilpa_jenni_prachi


For the uninitiated, Shilpa Anand andKaran Singh Grover shared an amazing on screen chemistry earlier, after which Shilpa was replaced by Sukirti Khandpal. After the stint of Sukirti as Riddhima, came in Jennifer Winget.

And now it looks as though there is every chance of Shilpa Anand getting back her prized role. And the reason stated is thatJennifer Winget's contract apparently ends in April, and the actress has expressed her desire not to renew it any further.

According to our reliable source, "The production house asked an actor cum friend of Shilpa Anand to enquire whether she is interested in getting back to the show. Shilpa had a talk with the concerned people thro' a series of text messages, and even expressed her desire to get back to the show. She has also given her quotation to the production house, and is now waiting for them to get back to her".

Our source also tells us that, "It is not only Shilpa Anand who has been approached. Panchi Bora who was last seen in Kayamath is also in talks with the production house for the role of Riddhima. However, a decision has not been taken by the production house and channel".

When we questioned Jennifer about her contract expiring, she said, "I don't know from where these rumours are coming up. My contract is not ending in April, and I am not leaving DMG".

Shilpa Anand on her part confirmed that, "Yes, the production house approached me thro' one of my friends, to get back as Riddhima. I have accepted the offer and have sent them my quotation. They have to get back to me now".

We contacted Panchi Bora who said, "Yes, I have been approached for Dill Mil Gaye. As of now, I am in Australia and will be talking to them once I get back".

We tried calling Palki Malhotra, Script Head, but she remained unavailable.

We now wonder whether the 'suspense' factor that is always a part of all DMG news is actually its USP!

"It's not Karan Singh Grover but his dupe in Dill Mill Gaye"

The past few episodes of Star One’s Dill Mill Gayye have been showing Dr Armaan (Karan Singh Grover). This There are has fanned the many speculations doing the rounds whether KSG will be returning to the show. Well, but as per sources the production house is in no mood to bring him back and it’s his dummy who has been shooting for him.

Dr Riddhima (Jennifer Winget) is currently searching for him in the show and wants him back in her life at any cost. There a few scenes where Karan Singh Grover is shown, but now an insider informs that it’s not him but his dupe. “The old shots are used for his front scenes, while his dummy is shooting for most of his scenes. The channel wants him back, but the production house are in no mood to bring him back,” the source informs.
Karan Wahi who plays Dr Siddhant says, “Yes we have been shooting with his dummy and old front scenes are being used for most of the scenes whenever required. I don’t think he will ever come back because the production house has filed a case against him. It’s all speculative and no one knows whether he is coming back”.

He adds, “I am getting married to Dr Riddhima in the show now and I don’t know what happens after the marriage”.

So for the moment KSG’s fans can feast their eyes on his dupe and hope for the best.
