Vivek shared that an Indianised version of Dhoop Kinare was on the anvil.

Okay.

There can never be another Dhoop Kinare.

Nope, we are not discussing this any further.

my post on Dhoop Kinaare (DK) might help fans of DK and other such Pakistani serials.

Apparently, Mr. Jasvinder Singh of Palco Videos, in Delhi, will be happy to help you.

A certain anon reader has helped us with Jassi ji's number too.

Thank You hai ji :-)

Quite excited about the Indian version of the popular British series.

Though, I hope the editing gets better - we are here to enjoy a food fest and not listen to sob stories.

Ever wondered why we don't have more female chefs?

NY Mag went out and asked, and came back with an obvious answer. Duh.

I always wanted to become a Doctor.

Pata nahi, kabhi dimaag kharab hua and I changed my decision.

Anyway, that's another issue.

Khair, jab mai choti thi, I always saw myself as Dr. Zoya Khan.

Any bells ringing yet?

I am talking about one of the most popular and evergreen shows to be telecast in the Indian Sub-Continent -

Dhoop Kinare

Don't know how many of you have heard about it or watched it. However, I absolutelllyyy loved it !

Set in the late 1980s/early1990s, Dhoop Kinare revolves around a Medical Intern (Marina Khan) and a senior Doctor (Rahat Kazmi).

The serial showcased a lovely relationship between the two and is one of the best romantic stories ever to have been brought on screen.

When I started watching it, I was too young to understand a lot of the heavy duty dialogues. Yet, the simplicity and the beauty with which all characters were portrayed, just grew on one...

During the past few years I have always kept going back to this serial and seen it in bits and pieces.

A lot of Pakistani shows from the 1990s have that evergreen quality and remain lovable till date.

To top it all, I idolised Marina Khan. I thought then, and still think that she is one of the most talented and beautiful actresses ever !

Her portrayal of Dr. Zoya is full of charm, humour, strength and a subtle rebellion which I always loved.

I think, on the Indian side, if this were to ever be re-made, then shayad sirf Kajol yeh role kar paaye...

Do watch this one, if you haven't had a chance to do so till now...
