Zee TV's Aap Ki Antara (Full Details)

[welcomewiki]

Zee TV is all set to launch two new shows in prime time slots from the first week of June, one being Balaji Telefilms' Pavitra Rishtha which will be aired at 9 PM slot and the second is Drishtanth Production House show Aapki Antara which will be aired from June 1st at the 8.30 PM slot.


With this, Zee's long running show Maayka, produced by Creative Eye which presently occupies the 8.30 PM slot is put under the radar, and it seems as though there are 50-50 chances of the show either going off air or getting a new time slot.

We called up Ajay Bhalwankar, Programming Head, Zee TV on the same, but he said, "I cannot comment on Maayka right now".

We tried digging more into this, and called few actors who are part of Maayka. Neha Bamb who plays Mahi categorically said that the show cannot go off air as of now, "I think it will be shifted to the 8 PM slot which is getting vacant soon". Kanchi Kaul who essays the role of Soni too gave a similar answer.

Jayati Bhatia quotes, "Dheeraj ji told us that the show has got an extension till December. As far as I know, Maayka may shift to the Dulhann slot, but nothing is confirmed yet".

All our efforts to get in touch with Dheeraj Kumar of Creative Eye, were in vain..

However, according to our source, "Maayka might most probably get shifted to the 8 PM slot as of now. In months to come, there are chances of the show going off air, with the much-awaited historical Rani Lakshmi Bai of Contiloe taking its place".

However, to add to the confusion the buzz is that Dulhann which has now bagged an extension of four episodes might be on air till August, if things go one well.

When we talked to Divyanka Tripathi about the probable extension, she was rather surprised and said, "I am aware about the four episodes stretch. I was informed of this just yesterday by my production team. I readily agreed to it, as I had to give an extra of just six more days. But I am totally unaware of the longer extension which you are talking about. With Sharad not there, wonder how the creatives will manage to come up with an interesting story line if they do get this extension".

Kamya Punjabi also verbalized the same, "We will now be shooting till May 22nd, and the last day of airing will be on 28th May. I am not aware of any further extensions".

Well, the one thing we are sure of as of now, is that Aapki Antara is all set to take up the 8.30 PM slot on Zee TV from June 1st..

We need to now wait and watch to know what happens to Maayka and Dulhann in days to come..

Himmanshoo Malhotra who was recently reported to have dumped Sahara One's show Shubh Kadam for a meaty role in a new show is finally back to television again!!

The actor will be seen in Drishtant Media Pvt. Ltd's new show on Zee TV, Aap Ki Antara.


Talking about his role, the actor says, "I play the role of Sameer, a charming guy who is bit flirtatious. He is Aditya's close friend, colleague and boss in office; and is also engaged to Aditya's sister Aarti. As the story moves, the character will be shown as the very responsible person who helps Aditya in all his problems".

Aap Ki Antara, as reported exclusively by earlier is the story of a special child who is autistic; who is actually born to Anuradha (Rupali Ganguly) and Aditya (Darshan). But Aditya is now married to Vidya (Prabhleen Sandhu) and has a kid Abhishek. A sudden tragedy hits the little girl Antara when her mother dies in a road accident, and this is when Aditya gets to know that he has a kid thro' Anuradha.

Elaborating on his friendship with Aditya, Himmanshoo states, "Aditya is a value-oriented guy who never knows to see the world practically. I am the one who advises him to be practical and not to hold on to ethics which do not give him any happiness. When Aditya gets to know about Antara, he brings her home and reveals to his wife that he has a kid thro another lady. This in fact shatters their happy married life and differences creep in between Aditya and Vidya, and this is where Sameer tries his best to bring them together".

"Sameer will go on to have a nice bonding with Antara once she comes to Aditya's house", quips the actor.

Talking about Antara played by little Zaina Vastani, the young lad verbalizes, "She is a very sweet girl, and it gives a nice feel to be shooting scenes with her. Wonder how at this age, the girl manages to understand everything that the director tells her. The role also demands certain mannerisms which Zaina delivers perfectly. She is simply good".

The response gotten for the show has been good, and as Himmanshoo puts it, "We have got a very good response for the first two episodes. The subject is very strong and we hope to make a place for ourselves in the viewers' minds".
