It has turned a difficult task for the actress as she said how she can send one back only after a single interaction session. But as per the format of the show she has to complete the task.

On being asked whether in the process of selecting a companion from the top 30 contestants, will Mallika be attracted to more than one contestant, to which she replied spontaneously, “Humsafar or true love is always one. I am not Draupadi and I can't be Draupadi, who will marry more than one man.

Well said Mallika!

TV actor Navi Bhangu had successfully bagged a decent fan following playing the lead Agam Life OK and Director’s Kut’s Amrit Manthan.

But sadly, this sudden exit from the show didn’t create any outburst from fans and it was all accepted without much fuss. Apparently, the reason behind this is said to be Navi’s big attitude. However, Navi always claimed that his death was got in just to spike up the ratings. He always stated that Angad Hasija’s entry was brought in to revive the show.

Meanwhile, reliable sources have a different story to portray. It has been heard that far from TRPs, Navi’s attitude was what had taken a toll on his part in the show. Sources claim that Navi was never in the good books of producer Rajan Shahi. And the ace producer was all the more hurt when Navi hinted on doing Punjabi films. In fact, he even demanded for high remuneration and had also irked Rajan beyond limits. Not just this, Navi tried to apologize for his act but it was too late then.

Speaking of the same, Navi said, “There was an issue of money but the decision for me to go was taken mutually as I wanted to concentrate on films. Please do not listen to rumors that I was a trouble maker. I had given the production house more than a year, and wanted to move on.”

Producer Rajan Shahi shared, “I never really understood Navi as he did not seem committed to his job. Often he would tell me that he wants to leave Mumbai and go to USA to work as a waiter. I went on to question him that he should never have come for the audition if this was the case.”

Well, we wish good luck to both of them and hope they bag success in their respective projects!

 Life OK’s romantic drama, Kaisa Yeh Ishq Hai... Ajab Sa Risk Hai helmed by Siddhant Cinevision is now to take an appealing turn, with Simran (Sukirti Khandpal) landing in India to win over the boy she loves.

As seen, Simran has reached Haryana in order to win Rajveer (Gaurav S Bajaj). The current track showed that Simran is all upset and disappointed as Rajveer has conveyed to her that he can’t accept her love as his family’s essentials of a bahu are different. This will make Simran all the more determined to adapt herself to suit Rajveer.

Now that she has landed in Haryana, Simran will stay at a common friend’s place. She will work upon the language and try to excel over the same. Not just this, she will even try hands on cooking the typical dishes liked in Haryana. Few of the members in Rajveer’s family will support Simran and help her out in this mission.

Speaking of the same, Sukirti said, “Yes the show enters a very interesting point wherein viewers can look forward to more fun and comic sequences. Also, the emotional as well as romantic angle will be on a high. Simran will do all that has to be done to have Rajveer in her life.”

Following the success of Savdhaan India – India Fights Back, the real life docu drama on Life OK, the series is now making its first Maha Movie, slated to premiere on the channel 2nd June 2013.

Life OK as a channel has advocated and believed in the philosophy of cherishing what you have as the thought resonates beautifully through the series. The series encourages the common man to raise his voice and fight back.

Produced by Saregama India Ltd. The film features Siddhant Karnik as Karan, Falak Naaz as Gauri, Aakash Sinha as Babban and Sanjay Sonu as Ranjan. The movie is a part of Savdhaan India's UP Fight Back special series.

Saregama’s Business Head, Manish Popat, says, “We are very proud that amongst various producers Channel Life OK chose us to produce the 1st Savdhaan India Maha Movie. I am sure we are doing some things right during the production of Savdhaan India that the channel has given us this opportunity and we as always will deliver a good product. We are looking forward to many more movies”.

The film being an action thriller is a challenging project for the creative and directorial team since it has been adapted, developed and put into direction within ten days of channel approval.

“It is a great opportunity and we are enjoying every bit of its making. I am happy that the task has been bestowed upon us and the channel has trust on our creative design. We are making a 2 hours film in less than 20 days from start to finish which is quite a challenge considering the cinematic thought behind it. I am sure that audience will love the chemistry between Gauri and Karan…and the entire thrill that action gets into it. We are already visualizing a great response from viewers on the film and are hopeful it will generate more opportunities for us to make many more telefilms”, says Sachin Mohite, the creative director of Saregama.

The film is being directed by Supavitra Babul, who feels that shooting the film has been like driving a Formula 1 racing car. The producer and the script being the navigators…8 days of heat and speed gives an adrenaline rush…that is making the process very exciting with all its challenges in deadlines. The entire crew and cast are super excited and some pleasant surprises are evident on screen.

“It is wonderful to be working with producers who understand filmmaking and support the creative and director’s vision. Also, I have known Ajit Thakur as a strong decision making channel head. I am glad that, through the 1st Savdhaan film, Life OK, has opened the gates to realistic crime action thriller genre and it couldn’t have been a better production house than Saregama for the first task. I am looking forward to making more such films and entertain a larger audience across the country”, says Babul.

Adapted from a real life incident the film is about a commando, Karan, who single handedly fights a dacoit, Babban and his gang, to save passengers in the compartment from his terror loot but loses his fiance, Gauri, to Babban's fancy. The journey that begins in the train ends up in the jungles where Babban has escaped with his loot and Gauri. A badly bruised Karan, in his full throttle as a Commando follows the tracks to reach the dacoit and his lady love...but will he be able to fight back and survive?

Watch the Maha movie on 2nd June at 6 PM and 10 PM only on Life OK!
