Sayantani is on harness all day, spends two hours on makeup for ‘Alibaba – Dastaan-e-Kabul’
Mumbai– Many are familiar with the famous line ‘Khul ja sim sim’, a character which follows commands in the story of ‘Alibaba and Forty Thieves’; and now, Sayantani Ghosh is all set to play the role of Sim Sim in ‘Alibaba – Dastaan-e-Kabul’.
She shares: “I am exploring Sim Sim’s identity and journey in new ways with each shoot. Apart from being on a harness all day long and devoting 2 hours for the makeup and costume every day, there are times when I’m shooting without the company of any co-stars for hours, which is a really draining process. However, all these emotional and physical challenges are worth it based on the incredible work of our entire crew.”
The ‘Naagin’ fame further elaborates about her character and adds: “Sim Sim is driven by love and becomes the ringmaster to orchestrate the narrative in ‘Alibaba – Dastaan-e-Kabul’. She doesn’t shy away from being vulnerable, and the journey in creating something so refreshing.”

However, this is not the regular Alibaba and chaalis chor (Alibaba and forty thieves) story of a cave replete with treasure. In fact, our story is packed with intense twists and dramatic events.
“Apart from looking at the countless journeys of Alibaba and the hurdles he overcomes, you’ll also for the first time witness the character of Sim Sim as not just a command, but an a character in this show; a villain whose emotions and past is given immense importance in the show,” she concludes.

What happened when Kinshuk Mahajan couldn’t recognise Shiny Doshi
New Delhi– ‘Pandya Store’ actor Kinshuk Mahajan recalls how his co-actor Shiny Doshi misunderstood him and thought that he has got a lot of ‘attitude’.
He shares: “I knew Shiny before the show also so I was working out in a gym, Shiny waved at me and I was not wearing my power glasses so I didn’t look at her. She thought I had a lot of attitude. When we started shooting I told her it was not intentional and then our bond on and off screen turned out to be really great. Now, we are very good friends.”
Mahajan has all the reasons to cheer up and celebrate after his show successfully completed 500 episodes and his character of Gautam Pandya being appreciated by the audience.
Reminiscing about the first day of his shoot, he shares with IANS: “When I auditioned for Gautam, it was very difficult for me to visualise myself as Gautam but the trust the producer and the casting team showed on me, really helped me to portray this role.”
“I remember when I started shooting, the first scene of the show was Shiny(Doshi) and me praying in the Somnath temple. Normally shooting is not allowed at the temple but luckily we got permission. So, the show started with a lot of positivity and I believe it’s Somnath’s blessings for me and the show to do good.”
Furthermore, he says what made the audience connect with the show is its story that revolves around a joint family and there is no negative character in the show like often are seen in many daily soaps. (IANS)
