As her diabolical plan unfolds, Mohini is determined to kill Siya as she is the only hurdle keeping her away from Rana Sa.

Within no time, actor Ankit Siwach has become an audience favorite owing to his enigmatic screen presence and impeccable acting skills. Also, fans have been giving a special shout-out to him for his fit and enviable physique.  Well, what the fans and viewers don’t know is that the reason behind this charming actor’s great body is an in-house gym which he has created on the sets. Given his hectic shoot schedule, Ankit has been finding it difficult to maintain a steady workout regime. Hence, in between shots when he takes his breaks, Ankit makes it a point to pull out his workout accessories and break into a sweat. Moreover, he makes sure that his entire team also follows suit and joins him for a quick workout. He also gives out  diet  and work out tips to his crew members and wants to  make his entire team become healthier and fitter!

Talking about his unique health regime and a new found hobby, Ankit Siwach said “Working out is my passion and it helps me to channelize my energy in the right direction. Due to my ongoing shoot schedule, I do not get ample time to hit the gym so I have finally resorted to setting up an in-house gym on the sets. I also experiment  with the things available on the sets. For instance, I use a chair to do push-ups and also use a pull-up bar for my workout. I am glad that my crew members have also been taking an active interest in going the healthy way.”

Well, that’s quite motivating Ankit. We hope that all your fans get inspired and adopt a healthier way of life!

GOA CARNAVAL 2019

  

Goa is gearing up for Carnaval 2019 which is one of the most awaited festivals of the year. Carnaval would begin on 2^nd March starting from Panjim, 3^rd March at Margao ,4^th March  at Vasco and Ponda and 5^th March at  Mapusa, Morjim and Curchorem. This year Carnaval is expected to be bigger with an increase in the number of  floats. We see a lot of tourists both domestic and International visiting the state to experience this festival exclusively. Goa Tourism has been promoting this festival on a huge scale every year and there is an overwhelming response from both domestic and international visitors to the state.

Carnaval is Goa's most famous festival and has been celebrated since the 18th century. The origins of carnival are apparently the hedonistic feasts of ancient Rome and Greece. It made its appearance in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies, where it metamorphosed into the very Latin singing-dancing bouts. The carnaval is presided over by King Momo, who on the opening day orders his subjects to party.

Carnaval is meant to be a feasting-merrymaking orgy just before the 40 days of Lent; a time of abstinence and spirituality. It begins from the capital city of Goa- Panjim. The entire state will be seen with colourful floats and decorations

The exciting and fun-filled four-day non-stop extravaganza of fun, frolic, song, music and dance that is uniquely Goan is a Pagan festival popular in Latin American countries that were colonies of Portugal at some point in time. It is a typical Latin, song, music and dance and precedes the "Lent". During this festival, huge parades through the cities are organised with bands, floats and dances and balls in the evenings.

The USP of this festival is the uniqueness that it has. Goa is the only state to celebrate a distinctive festival like Carnaval. The highlight of the exotic frenzy of merriment is the appointment and arrival of “KING MOMO” and his retinue to the capital city Panaji on "Fat Saturday", the eve of Carnaval. They form the head of a parade of colorful floats and troupes of masked revelers attired in gorgeous costumes singing and dancing in gay abandon to lively music that is usually performed live. The best floats are given handsome prizes. It assumes a unique form of creative spontaneity wherein folk songs/Cantars are sung from door to door in villages by troupes of mainly Christian peasants inviting everyone to join in the celebration. Huge parades through the cities are organised with bands, floats and dances and balls in the evenings.

‘मनमोहिनी’च्या सेटवर अंकित सिवाच बनला ‘फिटनेस कोच’!

विविध कलाटण्या आणि कथानकाला मिळणाऱ्या वळणांमुळे ‘झी टीव्ही’वर ‘मनमोहिनी’ मालिकेने प्रेक्षकांना गुंतवून ठेवले आहे. अलीकडेच प्रेक्षकांनी पाहिले की मोहिनी (रेहना पंडित) स्वत: सियाला (गरिमा सिंह राठोड) ठार करू शकत नसल्याने ती दाई माँ (वंदना पाठक) यांना सियाला ठार मारण्यासाठी कसे ब्लॅकमेल करते. राम आणि मोहिनी यांच्या मीलनात आता फक्त सिया हाच अडथळा असल्याने ती सियाला ठार करण्याचा कसा प्रयत्न करते, हेही दिसेलच.

आपल्या उत्तम अभिनयामुळे रामाची भूमिका साकारणारा अंकित सिवाच हा अल्पावधीतच प्रेक्षकांचा लाडका अभिनेता बनला आहे. तसेच त्याच्या तगड्या आणि तंदुरुस्त शरीरयष्टीमुळे त्याचे चाहते त्याला प्रोत्साहन देत असतात. पण त्याचे चाहते आणि प्रेक्षकांना एक गोष्ट कदाचित ठाऊक नसेल की अंकितने सेटवरच उभारलेल्या आपल्या जिममुळे त्याने आपले शरीर पीळदार बनविले आहे. या मालिकेसाठी त्याला प्रदीर्घ काळ चित्रीकरण करावे लागत असल्याने त्याला जिममध्ये जाऊन व्यायाम करण्यास वेगळा वेळच मिळत नाही. म्हणूनच आता दोन प्रसंगांच्या चित्रीकरणादरम्यान मोकळा वेळ मिळाला की अंकित आपले व्यायामाचे कपडे चढवितो आणि सेटवरच उभारलेल्या जिममध्ये घाम गाळतो. इतकेच नाही, तर आपल्या सर्व सहकलाकारांनाही आपल्याप्रमाणे नियमित व्यायाम करण्यास अंकितने भाग पाडले आहे. त्याबरोबर तो आपल्या सहकाऱ्यांना त्यांनी कोणता आहार करावा आणि कधी-कसे खावे, याचेही मार्गदर्शन करीत असतो. आपले सहकारी आपल्यासारखेच तंदुरुस्त राहावेत, अशी त्याची इच्छा आहे.

आपल्या या व्यायामाबद्दल आणि नव्या छंदाबद्दल अंकितने सांगितले, “नियमित व्यायामाची मला खूप आवड असून या व्यायामामुळे मी माझ्या शरीरातील ऊर्जा योग्य दिशेने प्रवाहित करीत असतो. मालिकेच्या प्रदीर्घ चित्रीकरणाच्या वेळापत्रकामुळे मला स्वतंत्रपणे जिममध्ये जाऊन व्ययाम करणं शक्य होत नाही. तेव्हा मी सेटवरच एक जिम उभारली असून त्यात वेळ मिळेल तेव्हा मी व्यायाम करतो. शिवाय सेटवर उपलब्ध असलेल्या वस्तूंमध्ये मी प्रयोगही करून बघत असतो. उदाहरणार्थ, खुर्चीचा उपयोग मी पुश-अपसाठी करतो, तर एका आडव्या बारला लटकून मी दुसऱ्या प्रकारचा व्यायाम करतो. आता माझे सहकलाकारही व्यायाम करू लागले आहेत आणि ते स्वत:ला तंदुरुस्त ठेवण्याचा प्रयत्न करीत असल्याचं पाहून मला आनंद होतो.”

अंकित, तुझे उदाहरण नक्कीच प्रेरणादायक आहे. आता तुझे चाहतेही तुझ्याप्रमाणेच निमयमित व्ययाम करून आपली प्रकृती सुदृढ ठेवतील, अशी आशा करुया.

पाहा ‘मनमोहिनी’ सोमवार ते शनिवार संध्याकाळी 7.30 वाजता फक्त ‘झी टीव्ही’वर!
