D leads of BMTD at loggerheads

The three lead actors of Banoo Main Teri Dulhan, Divyanka, Manish Nagdev and Sharad Malhotra, are at loggerheads. Reportedly the actors got engaged in a heated argument over the deadline of the shoot. Says a unit member, "All three of them had to attend some meeting or function or the other. So all of them requested the director to finish their respective portions early so that they could leave for the day. They all wanted to pack up by 7 pm. But it was not possible for us to let all three of them go at the same time."

So there was an issue over who would shoot his/her scenes first. Apparently, Divyanka requested Manish and Sharad to allow her to leave the sets first as she had to rush for a meeting. But both Manish and Sharad refused to let her go. None of them were willing to understand each other's problems. "I had a family function to attend and I had to go but my co-stars refused to co-operate. I was hurt to see that my colleagues could be so insensitive," snaps Manish.

Sharad admits that their argument tuned into an ugly fight. "I guess we were all stressed out. Divyanka was extremely upset and expected us to understand her plight. And Manish too was very rude to me," he says.

The incident took place on December 10, and since then the three actors have stopped talking to each other. "No one wants to make the first move to patch up," says Divyanka. The actress is hurt by the way her co-stars have treated her. She adds, "I tried my best to explain how important it was for me to leave that day but they didn't pay any heed to it. In fact they accused me of throwing my weight around. I thought it was unfair."

Says a source in the production house, "Divyanka, Manish and Sharad refuse to talk to each other. As a result we end up wasting more time sorting out trivial issues than shooting."

Sharad Malhotra was unavailable for comment.
