Those hooked on to Ek Veer Stree ki Kahaani Jhansi Ki Rani on Zee TV have seen an assortment of characters conspire to keep little Manu (Ulka Gupta) from marrying King Gangadhar of Jhansi (Sameer Dharmadhikari).
Be
it the shrewd, scheming firang Frazer or Moti Bai or the vampish
threesome Sakhubai, Jankibai and Laccho, they all have planned and
plotted at various points to stop Manu from becoming the Queen of
Jhansi. With all of them having fallen flat on their faces, the viewers
can now look forward to a magnum opus of a shaadi where young
Manikarnika will tie the knot with King Gangadhar at a lavishly
constructed Ganesh Mandir set. According to a source on the show, the
channel has pulled out all the stops to ensure that the show does ample
justice to the grand historical wedding. An array of theatre group
artistes, dance troupes from Bundelkhand, Lavni performers and magicians
have been flown in to capture the pre-shaadi traditions.
Buzz
has it that close to Rs. 7 Lakhs have been spent only on Manu's look for
the wedding, what with her trousseau including a rich traditional
Kaashta saari, 3 authentic gold mangalsutras, Kundan Moti sets and the
extravagant "Lakshmi haar". When asked how she feels about donning the
jewellery and the shaadi joda, Ulka Gupta
who plays Manu said, "I'm thrilled to be wearing such beautiful
jewellery and expensive costumes. I'm lucky to have got a chance to live
the life of a queen from a bygone era and I'm loving every bit of it."
And
how does she feel about the fact that the Rani Niwas she will be living
in after marriage is the same set used in the film Jodhaa Akbar? "Oh I
feel like Aishwarya Rai. (giggles) You have no idea how excited I am
about shooting for the post-marriage sequences in the new Rani Niwas
set. I loved Jdhaa Akbar and I'm a big fan of Ash!".
Watch the much –awaited historical wedding of Jhansi Ki Rani on Friday, 19th February on your favorite show Jhansi Ki Rani on Zee TV.
