Zee TV actors connect with fans in a virtual celebration as fresh episodes of their shows kickstart on television

~ A fun and interactive virtual party hosted by the leading actors of Zee TV saw scores of fans rejoicing at their reunion ~ 

It’s a celebratory moment for all the Zee TV actors as they gear up to venture into the lives of the audience once again after almost four months through fresh episodes of Zee TV’s popular shows. With the lockdown gradually lifting and people across the country stepping out into the new normal, India’s leading Hindi GEC - Zee TV resumed shoots of its daily primetime dramas recently in line with government directives and on 13th July, they introduced naye kisse, naye episodes of their popular shows into the lives of their loyal viewers. Celebrating this much awaited moment of comeback, actors of shows like Kumkum Bhagya, Kundali Bhagya, Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega and Qurbaan Hua reunited virtually and they had a gala time. But they weren't alone! Their loyal fan base from across the world that has gradually become a part of the Zee Kutumb also joined them in this online celebration called 'Sunheri Shaam'.

 Setting an exciting and entertaining atmosphere for all their special fans, the actors just let their hair down and stepped into an unfiltered fun zone to depict their real side to the viewers. While Mugda Chapekar and Krishna Kaul from Kumkum Bhagya shared their individual experiences of reuniting with fellow s on set and how the new normal has them giving each other hug-like gestures from a few feet apart and new age high-fives in the air without the typical clapping of hactorands, Nishant Singh Malkhani from Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega poked a little light hearted fun at actor Karan Jotwani from Qurbaan Hua for wearing a mask while attending the video call, saying "Videocall ke through Corona nahin hoga" ... Coming to Karan's defence was none other than his co-actor Pratibha Ranta along with Manit Joura from Kundali Bhagya, who mentioned that the actor was actually setting a good example for viewers to wear masks for their own safety.

Sharing their lockdown experiences as well as their #13thKiTayyari, the Zee TV actors also played a fun game of Antakshari in front of their fans. Singing turn by turn, they belted out various songs of their choice. While all the stars won the hearts of their fans irrespective of whether they sang perfectly in tune or just hummed a little, it was Mugda who swept fans off their feet with her sweet, trained voice. The way she sang Tu Mile Dil Khile had the other actors tease her about being a part of the current season of Li'l Champs! That's when some of the Li'l Champs landed up on the virtual call and regaled Zee TV's super fans with their melodious voices.

As viewers smiled seeing their favourite idols in front of them virtually, the actors decided to take their level of excitement a notch higher by interacting with them on a personal level. From answering questions related to their lockdown regimes to finally resuming shoot amidst all the necessary precautions, the actors were at their candid best and gave their fans an enjoyable evening to remember.

Sharing her experience on reuniting with her fans and fellow actors, Kumkum Bhagya actress Mugda Chapekar aka Prachi said, “It’s been a while that we all have been away from each other and it was an absolute delight to be able to connect with our fellow Zee TV actors and especially our fans, who have been painstakingly waiting for us to return. The delight on their faces brought a smile on ours and we had a wonderful evening interacting with them and entertaining them. We just hope they keep watching Kumkum Bhagya and showering us with their love.”

Adding to her experience, Qurbaan Hua actor Karan Jotwani aka Neel said, “The feeling of resuming work was quite exciting, but what was more thrilling was to see our fans as excited on our return. The wait has been quite long for us and them too, but we can definitely say it was all worth it as the new set of episodes will bring in several intriguing twists and turns that will keep them at the edge of their seats. We are delighted to come back and I hope our fans shower all their love on us by tuning into Qurbaan Hua.”

Zee TV | Kunwar Amar recalls the time when he got stitches during Dance India Dance 2

~ Ten years later, Kunwar Amar recollects some of the priceless memories he had as a young contestant on Dance India Dance season 2 with its return to Zee TV~ 

As a responsible broadcaster, Zee TV has always provided cutting-edge content and kept its audience entertained through thick and thin. In fact, during this phase of social distancing when people are spending more time at home, Zee TV decided to bring back some of the most popular seasons of its reality shows on public demand. Dance India Dance Season 2 featuring the superhit judges' trio of Terence Lewis, Remo D'Souza and Geeta Kapoor and the memorable battle for the 'sunehri taqdeer ki topi' between stars like Shakti Mohan, Dharmesh 'Sir' and Kunwar Amar is back on Zee TV, airing every Sunday at 1 pm.

Along with a few contestants who got a much needed platform to pursue their dreams, dancer and television actor Kunwar Amar, too began his journey with Zee TV's Dance India Dance season 2. A small-town boy hailing from Indore, Amar recalls the memorable and intense rehearsals that went behind making each performances as majestic as it appeared.  In fact, one such rehearsal that is  crystal clear in his mind was when he had to be rushed to the hospital due to a severe eye injury.

Recalling the day, Kunwar mentioned, “We were practicing with Terence sir’s team when suddenly I had a bad fall. I had actually fallen on my face and that resulted in a severe cut over my eye. I was immediately rushed to the hospital, where I was told that I would be needing stiches. That was the first time ever I got stiches and Terence sir stood beside me, holding my hand. I was quite petrified back then and I even cried. But Terence sir consoled and hugged me which helped me through the surgery. It was a quite a scary moment for all of us, but despite the injury I managed to put up a good performance.”

Adding further about his bond with Terence, Kunwar Amar said “He was beyond just being a guiding light, in fact, he was like a father to me during those days and now, 10 years down the line, the bond still remains the same between us.”                                                                                           

Dance India Dance has been serving as a platform for talented artists to showcase their talent on national television and gain the popularity that they deserve. In fact, many contestants including the ones from Dance India Dance season 2, are established choreographers and actors in the industry today. And while Kunwar Amar went from being a dancer to a television actor, watch how this small-town boy set the stage on fire nearly 10 years back on Zee TV! 

Tune into Dance India Dance season 2, every Sunday at 1 pm only on Zee TV!
