Anindo starts the no smoking trend

The unit of ���������Ek Poloke Ektu Dekha��������� decided to kick butt.
The unit of ���������Ek Poloke Ektu Dekha��������� had a blast shooting for a marriage sequence at a baganbari in Narendrapur. ���������The shooting was on for nearly five days and everyone on the unit said that it gave the feel of a wedding complete with tatwa and sanai,��������� says Arindam Sil, who is acting in the same apart from being the associate director and producer of the soap.���������There were sweets in tatwa, which were savoured by all and sundry. We even had Diwali celebrations at the venue,��������� adds Arindam.
Ritwick Chakraborty too nods in approval, ���������The sweets were awesome and since we were shooting at night, everyone pounced on the available platter.���������
The unit was shooting Antara���������s wedding sequence. ���������Antara plays Mishor, who is in love with Raja essayed by Ritwick. I arrange for my daughter���������s wedding with Arko (Vivaan). But on coming to know of Mishor���������s feelings for Raja, Arko arranges for the two of them to get married,��������� reveals Sil.
Interestingly, it���������s not just work that is keeping the unit busy. They seem to have taken up a ���������no smoking��������� cause too. Elaborates director Anindo Banerjee, ���������I had started this ���������no smoking��������� trend on the sets of ���������Ekdin Protidin���������. I had also implemented a ban on mobile phones on the sets. Whoever was caught in the act, would have to cough up a fine. We used the money to party. Gradually, we saw that the amount collected was maturing into a handsome one and those on the sets, started abiding by the rules seriously. When I joined ���������Ek Poloke...���������, I thought of following the same policy once again.���������
And true to his words, Ritwick also followed in Anindo���������s footsteps. ���������Inspired by Anindo da, I quit smoking. But then, everyone started telling me that even if one gives up the habit, the urge to smoke persists. Hearing this, I was so demoralized that I took up smoking again. But yes, I did stay away from it for nearly one-and-half months. Now, of course, the count has gone down drastically.��������� Arindam says, ���������My daughter wanted me give up the butt. This time around, I got into the groove and finally, said ���������no��������� to smoking. Till date, I have stayed away from the habit,��������� he adds.
Talk about no smoke without fire.
