While Madhuri Dixit has refuted rumours of a biopic being made on her, we hear that a TV show has been inspired by the diva’s romance with her hubby, Dr Sriram Nene. The show titled Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum is a love story between two people who come from completely different worlds — one is an actress and the other a surgeon — essayed by Dipika Kakar and Karan V Grover. A source close to the production reveals that the saga is based on Madhuri and Sriram’s courtship period where the former would be busy with her acting schedule and the latter away with his commitments as a surgeon.

The series will depict the struggles it took to keep the romance alive. It’s common knowledge that the Dhak Dhak girl had to give up her successful career and settle in the US with her husband. Now, with the actress’ second innings in the industry, Sriram has put his career in the States to rest and settled in India for his wife. The show will underline how they dealt with the busy lifestyles, yet made time for courtship. In fact, a promo shows the two going on their first date where Dipika is interrupted by her fans for a photo and autograph while later, Karan is called in for surgery! “It’s a first date that never happened, much like in Madhuri and Sriram’s life,” adds the insider.  The show also marks the debut of Saif Ali Khan on the small screen, as the narrator of the story.

The actor has turned sutradhar for Dipika Kakar’s upcoming show that goes on air in the coming weeks

Saif Ali Khan is gearing up to make his small screen debut with the upcoming show Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum, which features Bigg Boss 12 winner Dipika Kakar Ibrahim (right) and Karan V Grover (left) as leads and will air on Star Plus. The 48-year-old actor started shooting for his portions on Tuesday at Mehboob studio in Bandra, introducing the main characters to the audience.

A source associated with the show informs, “Saif shot a sequence where the leads are deciding where to go on a date. He shot alone for the part which featured a monologue and involved voice modulation as he is also shown giving voiceover for the female protagonist. The shoot went on for four-five hours.”

The show is a love story produced by Sandiip Sikcand. It is expected to go on air sometime in the coming weeks and marks Dipika’s return to fiction two years after her last show, Sasural Simar Ka, went off air. In the show, she plays an actress to Karan’s cardiologist.

On the film front, Saif has been shooting for Ajay Devgn and Kajol’s Tanhaji in which he plays the antagonist and is to start work on Jay Shewakramani’s Jawaani Jaaneman, with Tabu and Pooja Bedi’s debutante daughter Alaia F. The film goes on the floors next month and the first schedule will be shot in London for 45 days.

Incidentally, Shah Rukh Khan had taken over sutradhar duties for Ekta Kapoor’s Kasauti Zindagi Kay reboot last year.
