Aftermath..Rabba Ishq Na Hove

This was how my day went:

I left office late, thus reached expo late, reaching home late, which means I met Nikky late (6.40pm) @ Tampines MRT to head 4 Sentosa 2c the shoot of ZeeTV's upcoming serial "Rabba Ishq Na Hove" (translation: God Don't Let It Be Love).  We took the train to HarbourFront, which bring us 2 Sentosa in abt 1hr++ (including the shuttle bus & the Sentosa Blue Line bus that bring us to the SkyTower).

We were told 2 come anytime from 6-10pm.  So we made an entry @ 8pm++.  Nikky was super-duper hungry (she oso duh, nvr grab a bite while @ home!)  We met Vishali (ZeeTV, India) & Tripta (ZeeTV, Singapore) who made us feel comfortable with their warmth & friendliness.

We sat near the crew watching the filming.  It's really interesting 2c how they shoot..hantam bola only, but turns out nice on screen.  While the main cast Sangeeta Ghosh (looking bored & disinterested while waiting) & Nikkhil Arya (originally from Star Plus, this is his 1st serial on Zee TV) had 2 shoot, the rest of the few cast who's not shooting - incl. the producer/writer of the serial, actress Aroona Irani - was having fun touring Sentosa & coming back @ almost pack-up time raving abt the Musical Fountain!

I missed the opportunity of going up the Carlsberg Tower for free & seeing the definitely beautiful sight of the whole of S'pore as I didn't wanna be captured on camera.  It's amazing 2c how these actor/actress can juz be so intimate in 1 moment & the nxt moment when the shot was "ok-ed", juz walk away from each other as though they're strangers!!!  Wat an occupation..& I thot mine was bad!

We snapped some photos wif Sangeeta, & the warm Zee TV gang for remembrance sake.

I asked Tripta wat the drama is abt (cheating! hehe) & she cooly shared :

Abt Sangeeta who's an air-hostess (wif Air India of coz!) & is in S'pore on 1 of her flights.  Here she meets Nikkhil who woo-ed her tirelessly & when she finally succumbs 2 his wooing & falls in luv wif him, she discovers it was all a game - a bet between Nikkhil & his bunch of friends (so hindi movie plot!)!! Later on, while nursing her heartbreak, she falls in luv wif a guy (I think wil be played by not-so-well-known-Bollywood actor, Rakesh Bapat) ..who turns out 2b Nikkhil's bro!  I think by then Nikkhil probably had realised he has realy fallen in luv wif Sangeeta..Tadaa

What? Go subscribe 2 Zee TV & watch it urself la!

Finally, the last shot 4 the nite - Sangeeta sitting @ the table - they needed some friends 4 Sangeeta 2b chatting wif.  Vishali called me, but I pushed Nikky!  They needed more, so Vishali called me agn, but I refused.  Then Aroona assured me "Don't worry, it'll juz be your back"..& I thot "y not, my best profile is my back - that's ONE view that makes me look like Madhuri ;p" (really laaa, see 4 urself..heehee ;p)..so I agreed 2b a sport.  They even asked Tripta 2 complete the table - 4 back view sake also - & make it look like a FOURSOME.  We juz yakked rubbish, talked abt Zee TV & Sangeeta's screen history.  The moment the shot was "ok-ed", it was a wrap..9.30pm..PACK UP!  They wrapped up very fast, off all lights, lifted them, & took all equipment 2 their van & drove off.

I took the opportunity 2 pose wif Nikkhil b4 we (Nikky, I & the Zee TV gang) taking the Blue Line bus & then the shuttle bus back 2 HarbourFront.  While the Zee TV gang went on 2 flag 4 a cab back, Nikky & I went 2 HarbourFront 4 dinner @ McDonald's.  The highlight of our rendezvous started here.  We were so damn bored & I wanted 2 experiment wif my new PC-CAM, so we did some personal video - pretending 2b Madhuri & Tabu interviewing each other!  It was so hillarious we had tears in our eyes!  Who cares abt the ppl looking @ us! ;p  Btw, Nikky was more interested in taking her own pictures using her Motorola hp, rather than the stars or the filming!  Still waiting 4 her 2 email me our pictures which is the evidence of the fun we had - despite being super duper hungry!

All's well that ends well..I reached home @ the strike of midnite - *dinnggg..donnggg*  Cinderella is back 2 her normal routine (read: boring) life!
