Telly Tattle: Gaming break, anyone?

Nikki Sharma and Arjun Bijlani

Arjun Bijlani and Nikki Sharma, who play Shiv and Shakti respectively in the television show, Pyaar Ka Pehla Adhyaya ShivShakti, are making the most of their breaks in between shots. The two play badminton as a stress-buster. Sometimes, their co-actors and other crew members also join in when they are free. Arjun, who discussed the idea with his leading lady before they brought their racquets to the location, says, "Nikki gave me stiff competition, but thanks to all the practice I regularly get with my son, I was all set to beat her. Now, badminton is our official break-time ritual. It's a great addition to our workout routine." Nikki adds, "Arjun is really good at the game, but I am pretty competitive. I believe these little things we get to do on the set with our co-stars keep our bonds stronger and motivate us to keep going."
