Cinestars contestants get a taste of acting on TV

With just a week left for its Grand Finale episode, Zee TV’s Cinestars Ki Khoj will soon announce its winners who will go on to make their debuts in a film creatively supervised by none other than the maestro Mahesh Bhatt. Having had their acting talent honed over the last 2 months by some of the finest experts from Bollywood, these budding actors are all set to take the entertainment scene by storm. What’s more, for the latest episode of the acting reality show, this talented bunch even made their television debut on some of Zee TV’s popular primetime soaps! Featuring in some of your favorite shows like Jodha Akbar, Qubool Hai, Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke, Kumkum Bhagya, Pavitra Rishta, Doli Armaanon Ki, Jamai Raja and Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, the contestants were given a chance to play cameo roles with the lead protagonists of the show. Getting into the skin of some interesting, well-etched characters on each of these shows, the Top 8 contestants played these cameos with aplomb. Meenu Panchal played the role of a maharashtrian bai in Kumkum Bhagya. Being a Haryanvi girl, the ease with which Meenu caught on to the Marathi accent was commendable. Playing a mawali, Bhawna Dhoundiyal stepped into the shoes of a firebrand girl who fights for everybody’s rights in the show Pavitra Rishta. A tough girl even otherwise, Bhawna was seen carrying the mawali attitude with ease. While there were others who played straight-faced characters, Sayed Mamoon’s character in the show Doli Armaanon Ki, caught on with everybody as it was truly comical. Playing the character of a man who is possessed, Sayeed’s dialogues were funny and called for some hilarious facial contortions and body language on his part. Okasana was seen in a fun street sequence playing a foreigner in Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke while Akshay Nalawade played the role of a yodha in Zee TV’s historical Jodha Akbar. Saurabh Bharadwaj played a boy-next-door in Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya and Vikram Chatterjee played a corrupt Police Inspector in Jamai Raja. Much appreciated by the creative teams of the shows they had performed cameos on, these Top 8 contestants will be seen in an episode in each of the shows. With the show nearing its finale, we hope that the audiences shower them with votes and we hope the best wins. India’s Best Cinestras Ki Khoj air every Saturday and Sunday from 9 – 10 PM on Zee TV.
