Peanut gallery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Howdy Doody peanut gallery c. 1940 to the 1950s
A peanut gallery was, in the days of vaudeville, a nickname for the cheapest and ostensibly rowdiest seats in the theater, the occupants of which were often known to heckle the performers.[1] The least expensive snack served at the theatre would often be peanuts, which the patrons would sometimes throw at the performers on stage to convey their disapproval. The phrases "no comments from the peanut gallery" or "quiet in the peanut gallery" are extensions of the name.[1]
In 1943 the Howdy Doody children's radio show adopted the name for its live audience of children.[2] Howdy Doody is most remembered for its later transition to television, which continued the Peanut Gallery audience, now on camera.
In popular culture[edit]
In recent times, the term has taken on new meanings with the advent of social networks and online chat rooms. "Peanut gallery" may also refer to the stream of open comments visible on certain types of blogs.[3]
A similar term was introduced to Brazilian football by coach Luis Felipe Scolari. He called Palmeiras' complaining audience that sat in the closest seats "Turma do Amendoim" ("peanut gang").[4]

Kumkum Bhagya (Vermilion in my Fate) (International title: Twist of Fate) is a Hindi-language Indian soap opera which premiered on April 15, 2014[1][2] and is broadcast on weeknights on Zee TV. The show is loosely based on the novel Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.[3]
Kumkum Bhagya follows the love story of a famous musician Abhi who married Pragya, initially thought to be the love interest of the person who was the crush of Abhi's sister, but ends up knowing the truth and falls in love with her. The pivotal characters of this show are strong, feisty women, living together in an all-female matriarchal family. The series stars Sriti Jha, Shabbir Ahluwalia, Mrunal Thakur, Arjit Taneja/Vin Rana as lead roles. The series is produced by Ekta Kapoor under the banner Balaji Telefilms. Continuing her tradition, Ekta Kapoor has named the series starting with the letter "K" because she feels it is lucky.[4] The show is directed by Sameer Kulkarni and developed by Ekta Kapoor.
The series started as the story of Pragya and Bulbul and their mother Sarla's hope to see them married, but as time went by, the show is about Abhi and Pragya.
Due to Kumkum Bhagya's popularity, a spinoff series has been made titled Kundali Bhagya, which portrays the life of Pragya's long lost two sisters Preeta and Srishti.

Plot[edit]

Kumkum Bhagya is the love story of Abhishek Mehra and Pragya Arora. Sarla Arora, who runs a marriage hall, lived with the hope of seeing her two daughters happily married. Pragya, the elder daughter, is practical, hard working and teaches at a college. Bulbul, the younger daughter, has her head in the clouds, has a job but hates her boss Purab. The show follows the lives of the two sisters and their hopes, dreams and aspirations. Initially, the series followed a love triangle between Pragya, Bulbul and Suresh, where Pragya loved Suresh, who had feelings for Bulbul, leading to Pragya and Suresh's engagement getting cancelled. Simultaneously, Abhishek (Abhi) is a rock star who was in a relationship with a supermodel called Tanushree (Tanu) and Purab happened to be Abhi's best friend, who was engaged to his sister Aliya. Purab and Bulbul initially had hatred feelings for each other, but the story took a turn when the two fell in love. Aliya misunderstood his affair with Bulbul thinking that he loved Pragya. As a result, Aliya, Tanu together with Abhi planned to get Abhi married to Pragya out of revenge. After the marriage, Pragya got to know the whole situation and for her sister's protection, lied to Abhi that she indeed was in a relationship with Purab and eventually asked Bulbul to forget Purab, which Bulbul agreed to.
Purab agreed to get married to Aliya as he got to know the whole situation as well, but was unable to forget Bulbul. He escaped on his marriage day with Aliya to marry Bulbul where she revealed to Abhi that she was the girl Purab loved, in order to save her sister from misery. A complicated relation started in everyone's life. Aliya and Tanu planned conspiracies against Pragya but their plans failed and brought her more close to Abhi, leading them to develop feelings for one another. Abhi got to know Aliya and Tanu's true intentions, slapped Aliya for her wrongdoings, lead by her developing a grudge for her brother, he eventually improved his relation with Purab and Bulbul. Tanu on the other hand, accidentally got pregnant after a one-night stand with a man called Nikhil. She faked her DNA reports and declared that Abhi was the father in order to get him back, leading to Abhi and Pragya's separation. Tanu was supported by Nikhil himself who wanted Abhi's wealth, Aliya who wanted exact revenge against him and Abhi's cousin brother Raj, who blamed Abhi for his misfortune. Pragya overheard Aliya and Tanu's conversation but before telling Abhi, suffered an accident and was declared dead.
After one month, Pragya returned with a bold and arrogant appearance, having a new motive of revealing her enemies and getting Abhi back. In the same arc, Bulbul and Purab got married where a sequence of love and jealousy started between Bulbul, Purab and Aliya. Furthermore, to save her sister from Aliya, Bulbul risked her life and died. An infuriated Pragya finally revealed the truth about Aliya, who was then banished from the family. Raj, whose misunderstanding about Abhi was cleared by Pragya, turned positive and complicated his relationship with his wife Mitali for actually being responsible for his problems. Pragya finally discovered Tanu and Nikhil's relation, decided to expose Tanu, but however failed to do so, but on the other Tanu got a miscarriage in an accident and blamed Pragya. Facing Abhi's anger, Pragya still proved herself right and finally revealed the truth about Tanu, having gained back his trust. The two proposed to each other in Abhi's mansion in Lonavla, after which Abhi lost his memory in a car accident meant for Pragya, getting amnesia and forgetting two-and-a-half years of his life, including Pragya. For his protection, Pragya decided to leave him, however did not divorce him.
The show roughly took a two month leap and continued with Pragya overhearing her mother saying that she had lost the Kumkum Bhagya Marriage Hall. Determined to help her family, she enrolled as a receptionist at Love Life Music Company, where she met Abhi who came to record his new album. From there on they slowly became friends where Abhi hired her as his personal assistant. Aliya who took advantage of Abhi's amnesia returned back and wanted Abhi to marry Tanu in order to keep him away from Pragya. Abhi and Pragya's boss-employee relationship bloomed into something more and Abhi saw Pragya as his best friend and even something more. After much conspiracies, Pragya challenged Aliya and Tanu that she will bring back Abhi's memory before his marriage with Tanu, she was supported by Dadi and Purab. Abhi has some unclear flashbacks of his past in his dreams. Purab makes Abhi realize his feelings for Pragya. He later confesses his love to Pragya and she also confesses her love to him. But unknown to them, Tanu's mum has heard everything. She calls Abhi and lies to him that she is in the last stage of pancreatic cancer and may die anytime and that her last wish is to see her daughter married. Abhi falls for it and decides to continue with his marriage with Tanu , breaking Pragya's heart in the process. Pragya leaves to go home and decides not to come to the wedding. However, Dadi comes and convinces her saying she has a solution. She tells Pragya she wants to swap her and Tanu so she can marry Abhi. Pragya agrees after some persuasion.
For their plan to work, Purab chloroforms Tanu. When on her way to the mandap, Nikhil discovers that it is Pragya and not Tanu and kidnaps her while he manages to get Tanu conscious with Aliyah's help. So Tanu goes to sit at the mandap to marry Abhi whiles Nikhil decides to kidnap and take Pragya away. However Sarla witnesses her daughter's kidnapping and is hit on the head to unconsciousness by Nikhil when she attempts to stop them. They take Pragya away whiles Janki takes Sarla to the hospital.
Meanwhile when Abhi and Tanu are about to take rounds, Tanu slips and her dupatta removes. Dadi, Dasi and Purab realise that it isn't Pragya who is marrying Abhi and gets worried having no way to stop the wedding. Pragya cries at her kidnapped location thinking her husband is marrying another woman and she can't do anything but fortunately, Sarla makes it on time to the Mehra house exactly when Abhi and Tanu are going for their last round, to announce her daughter's kidnapping. Abhi leaves with Purab immediately to rescue Pragya without completely the last round infuriating Tanu who ask Nikhil to kill Pragya but Pragya manages to escape from the goons.
When Pragya finds out that Abhi who had reach the location to save her has also been kidnapped, she goes back to save Abhi too. When Aliya finds out Nikhil has her brother, she goes there to warn him not to hurt Abhi but later discovers that Pragya is back and with Abhi in the room but Nikhil doesn't believe her when she tells him. Tanu's anger increases and she ask Nikhil to now kill both Abhi and Pragya. Nikhil decides to hire a contract killer since he can't do it himself. However before the killer arrives, Abhi and Pragya manage to outsmart the goons and ride away on a horse but the Killer catches sight of them. When Nikhil tells him they are the people he wants him to kill, the Killer and Nikhil's goons chase them. After a lot of cat and dog(chase and run), Abhi and Pragya meet with an accident when Abhi gets distracted whiles driving. Pragya shouts for help when she gets conscious but can't revive Abhi. Fortunately, an old man comes to the forest and offers help introducing himself as Raghuvir. Pragya leaves with him. When Abhi gains consciousness, they tell Raghuvir the whole story about the kidnapping and he decides to help them.Abhi, Pragya and Raghuvir manage to outsmart the contract killer and his goons when they come there and they leave without finding them. During a conversation with Raghuvir, Abhi realises Pragya's worth and decides to marry her immediately. They run to a temple in the forest where they get married. Meanwhile Purab and the police search for Abhi and Pragya. The contract killer and the goons reach Abhi and Pragya and another run and chase begins. Purab and the police reach there also and he tells Abhi and Pragya to leave whiles he fights with the contract killer. Abhi and Pragya find the killer's car and he manages to start the engine. However a rock which was under the car destroys the breaks and the break oil leaks. Abhi and Pragya realize this when Abhi's attempts to stop the car is to no avail. They both remince their romantic moments before crashing into a tree. However, the contract killer decides not to give up until he sees their dead bodies. Pragya gains consciousness and manages to drag Abhi on a cart to Raghuvir's house. Whiles unconscious, Abhi finally regains his memory much to Pragya's delight. She cries with tear of happiness. Pragya later finds a family photoframe of herself, her mother(Sarla), her sister(Bulbul), Raghuvir and two other girls. She confronts Raghuvir who then realizes that Pragya is his daughter and tells her the whole story about how her mother and himself separated and that the two other girls are her siblings, Preeta and Shristi. Abhi and Pragya convince him to meet Sarla again and seek her forgiveness but wake up the next day to find out that Raghuvir has left leaving a note that says he doesn't have the courage to face Sarla. Pragya and Abhi decide to go home but the contract killer and the goons find them. Pragya takes a bullet that was meant for Abhi which infuriates Abhi who attacks the killer and pushes him off the cliff, killing him. Abhi runs back only to find the river taking Pragya away. He tries to save her to no avail and gets unconscious in the process. When he wakes up Purab announces that Pragya is dead but Abhi refuses to accept this. Sarla comes to the house in rage to reveal Tanu and Aliya's truth to Abhi. Abhi slaps Aliya when she tries to misbehave with Sarla and reveals that he has already regained his memory and kicks Aliya and Tanu out.
The show takes a leap of 1 month and two days where it is Pragya's birthday and Abhi decides to celebrate it believing that Pragya will return.
There is a new plot where a lookalike(Munni) of Pragya is introduced. Aliya and Tanu ask her to go to the Mehra house and pretend to be Pragya then make everybody hate her. Munni however refuses and goes to Abhi's concept that he is holding that day. However, she's unable to tell him when two suicide bombers come to the concert. Abhi, Munni, Rishab, Karan and Purab manage to get hold of the situation but the venue catch fire in the process. Munni falls unconscious due to the smoke. Abhi takes her home thinking her to be Pragya. Deep in the night, Aliya sneaks into Abhi's room in the Mehra house while Abhi and the rest of the family were distracted by Tanu, and threatens Munni with hurting her niece and nephew if she tells Abhi their truth. Munni finally agrees to pretend to be Pragya when Aliya carries out her threat by kidnapping her niece and nephew. She comes to live in the Mehra house as Pragya. However, some events make the family doubt if she really is Pragya. Aliya and Tanu are able to re-enter the Mehra house with Munni's help.
On the other hand Purab gets attacked by some goons when he goes to deposit Abhi's money in the bank but a brave woman called Disha(Ruchi Savarn)saves him. Sangram Singh who is the head of the goons decide to take his revenge on Disha and tries to rape her in the market but Purab saves her. Sangram and his men chase them and they run and hide in the school where Disha teaches where they both fall asleep under a table. Disha returns home the following day to find out that her wedding has been cancelled because Sangram lied to the groom that she slept with Purab the night before. Disha's father cries saying who will marry his daughter after this. Sangram decides to take advantage and offers to marry her just to take revenge for the slap she gave him. Disha's father agrees and convinces Disha who was afraid for her father's health. Purab decides to stop the wedding somehow and fights with Sangram who's head hits a table and he gets unconscious. Purab wears his cloth to marry Disha instead but Disha's aunty finds Sangram Singh unconscious and wakes him up. They stop the marriage when Purab and Disha are about to take the last round. Purab and Disha escape from there while Sangram Singh and his men chase them. Purab calls Abhi and tells him everything. Abhi tells the family and decides to get Purab and Disha married when they come. Purab initially disagrees due to the guilt of betraying Bulbul but is later convinced. Sarla gives him her blesses. Aliya gets infuriated when she finds out about the marriage. Dadi spoils her plan of getting Disha unconscious and marrying Purab instead. Unfortunately, Sangram Singh and his men get Abhi's resident address and come there in desguise of dancers. Sangram holds a knife to Dadi's neck demanding for Disha who had been hidden by Munni. Afraid of Sangram hurting the family, Munni hands over Disha to Sangram Singh who decides to burn her alive but Abhi tries to defend Disha and Sangram threatens him with a gun.
The real Pragya, who was in a coma all this while, regains consciousness sensing Abhi in danger. Meanwhile at the Mehra house, Munni outsmarts Sangram Singh and his men and they don't kill Disha. The police arrive but Sangram manages to escape from there vowing to kill Munni, who he thinks to be Pragya. Purab and Disha finally get married. Aliya and Tanu give property papers to Munni to make Abhi sign them but Munni refuses but they blackmail her. Munni still hesitates since she has started having feelings for Abhi and doesn't want to betray him. Pragya decides to return to Mumbai in so much eagerness to meet Abhi who must be missing her but her dreams get shattered when she finds the family preparing for pooja for Abhi and his wife(though she didn't see his wife clearly). She gets heartbroken to realize Abhi moved on without her and decides to leave his life. She however returns to the house and follows the family to the temple where Abhi and his wife are doing the pooja. She decides to confront the whole family for moving on without her but wastes enough time for the pooja to be completed. Munni comes to stand beside Pragya to pray and ask forgiveness from God for doing pooja with someone else's husband without seeing Pragya's face but after her prayer, she turns and sees Pragya who also sees her. Pragya gets shocked to see that Abhi's wife is her look alike.

Production[edit]
Development and premiere[edit]
The show premiered at 09:00 pm (IST) on Tuesday on April 15, 2014 and airs episodes from Monday to Friday.
Talking about introducing a fresh concept on primetime, Zee TV Programming Head, Namit Sharma said, "It takes one epic show to replace another, so you can imagine. It is a passionate drama of love, a far cry from regular saas-bahu soaps and has an ensemble cast of some very talented actors."[5]
On this, Ekta Kapoor from Balaji Telefilms added, "While two of my shows(Pavitra Rishta and Jodha Akbar) are already on-air and doing immensely well on Zee TV, it's a pleasure to extend my partnership with Zee to a third show. Pavitra Rishta has had a run of over Five years now and the journey has been most gratifying for me as a producer. While the audiences who are hooked on to Pavitra Rishta will continue to enjoy the show at 6:30 PM, Kumkum Bhagya will open at 9 PM, drawing maximum eyeballs. It is so contemporary in its treatment that viewers will be able to instantly spot characters out of their own lives in the show. It's a story of passionate love that anyone with a soul would be able to easily relate to."[5]
Speaking of his comeback as an actor, Shabbir Ahluwalia, the protagonist of the show says, "With me producing shows, it was getting very difficult to manage time for acting assignments. But now, I have decided to concentrate on acting. You can't be away from what you love doing for long. The role appealed to me a great deal. This is the first time that I will be playing a rockstar on television and in order to look my part, I had to ensure that I did not just get my costume and look right, but also get that attitude right that is required to portray a rockstar onscreen."[5]
Casting[edit]
The series is a love story[6] produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under the banner Balaji Telefilms that airs on Zee TV. Ekta Kapoor considers the letter K to be lucky and has named many of her productions starting with K.[4] Shabbir Ahluwalia,[7] who was also cast in Ekta's TV Series Kayamath, was selected to portray the lead role of Abhishek Prem Mehra. Ahluwalia made his comeback after Zee 20 Cricket League. Actress Sriti Jha landed in lead role opposite Shabbir Ahluwalia in the show.[7] Mrunal Thakur was selected to portray the second leading role of Bulbul[8] while Arjit Taneja was cast opposite her.[8][9] In May 2014, Shikha Singh entered the show as the main antagonist Aliya Mehra,[9][10][11] while Madhurima Tuli was cast to portray the negative role of Tanu. Later, tuli has to shoot for her film Baby (2015 Hindi film) so, this role was later played by Leena Jumani in September 2014.[12] Actor Faisal Rashid was selected to portray the role of Suresh(Pragya's fiance) who played an important role in April–May 2014, but in May 2015 he quit the series.[13] Actress Supriya Shukla was cast to play the role of Sarla Arora, while Madhu Raja played the role of Daljeet Arora. Other supporting cast include Samiksha Bhatnagar, Ankit Mohan and Charu Mehra and Amit Dhawan. Bhatnagar, who portrayed the supporting role of Mitali was replaced by Swati Anand within the month of launch while Anurag Sharma, who also appeared in Ekta Kapoor's Pavitra Rishta, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar replaced Amit. In 2015, Neel Motawani (who was also cast in other shows of Ekta) was selected to play the negative role of Neel; while in June 2015 Nikhil Arya entered the series playing the role of main male antagonist Nikhil Sood.[14]
In December 2015, Actress Mrunal Thakur who played the role of Bulbul opted out from the show and was to be replaced by Kajol Shrivastava, however the replacement never occurred and the character of Bulbul was phased out of the series after Mrunal's departure. In August 2016, Ankit Mohan quit the show and therefore, his character left as well. In September 2016, Arjit Taneja quit the show and was replaced by Vin Rana. In October 2016, Nikhil Arya was replaced by Rujut Dahiya.[15] In July 2017, actress Ruchi Savarn entered the show as Purab's new love-mate.
