2008: Bad year for Tulsi Maiyaa
2008 was Tulsi's worst year since she became a star in 2000.
Who would have imagined that Smriti Irani would end the year with no role on any serial on TV? But that is what has happened.
Her production house is also in turmoil, after having its big show Mere Apne pulled from the channel 9X in July. Later, her production Waaris (on Zee TV) was launched in August, but
flopped and was pulled after three months. On the acting side, Smriti made a comeback on Kyunki, which she was out of for just under a year, but the show was taken off air, finally
ending her essaying of the role that made her a household name. Mere Apne, which was meant to be the big show on 9X, starred Vinod Khanna and had a lot of Smriti's hopes riding on it, but that too flopped.
The dynamic Smriti did have an interesting and active year, even if it wasn't a particularly successful one. Apart from producing television drama, she also launched two stage presentations Kuch tum kaho kuch hum kahein and a social comedy Maniben.com.
After years of fiction, Smriti also tried her luck with reality TV. She hosted the first season of Jalwa (on 9X) in March with co-host Sakshi Tanwar (who incidentally also has not had a particularly good year). While she was smooth on camera as she always is, this role did not get anywhere. Perhaps she is too closely identified with one role for her to convincingly portray anything else.
Smriti's production house has not had a good time of it from the start. Ugraya Productions was meant to stabilise this year, but couldn’t entrench itself. Smriti had produced Thodi si zameen Thoda Aasman on Sony which didn't turn out to be the hit she was hoping for it to.
Smriti, who is known to be very optimistic, then produced a show in which she acted as well. This was Virrudh (also on Sony). Virrudh was expected to succeed as it had a unique concept and a very strong cast which included stars like Vikram Gokhale, Sushant Singh, Zarina Waahab, Apara Mehta and many others. However, while it was acclaimed, it couldn’t attract the ratings and was pulled early this year.
Here's hoping 2009 brings our Tulsi all her lost fame and fortune.
