Divyanka Tripathi and Sharad Malhotra the lead pair of Banoo Main Teri Dulhann seem to have acquired starry airs and are giving a tough time to their producer.An actor from Banoo Main Teri Dulhann on condition of anonymity says, "Divyanka and Sharad did not complete shooting their Monday episode (October 1) until the same morning. On Saturday, they walked out of the set midway through the shoot. On Sunday, they did not answer their respective phones and did not shoot on Sunday. Hence, the shooting had to be completed on Monday morning, to be telecast the same evening. It gave stress to everyone."
Our source also says that Divyanka and Sharad often report late on the sets and when the shot is ready, they don't come out of the make-up room for a long time.
When contacted, Pradeep the production Head of the serial says, "Things have gone a bit haywire after Divyanka and Sharad returned from Mauritius. They have been indisposed and therefore, we haven't shot in time. But I hope it will settle down."
However, Divyanka has a different version. She says "The fault lies in the production house (Shakuntalam Telefilms). Sharad and I are committed actors. I have spoken to Shyam (producer) about the same he also agrees with me. These guys on the set have no priority agenda on what and when to shoot. They don't seem to complete their work in the stipulated time."
About the delay of work she says, "On Saturday, Sharad and I were made to wait for more than six hours and finally at 9 pm we shot a scene. We both had high temperature and had yet reported for shooting. At 10 pm, we were told to pack-up. But a little later they said they wanted to re-shoot a scene. By this time we had changed and were ready to leave."
Divyanka also confirms that they refused to shoot the next day because of ill health. "Both Sharad and I just couldn't shoot. We needed some rest," she adds.
Sharad was unavailable for comment, but when asked about their relationship, Divyanka says, "Sharad and I are very good friends. Yes, we stand by each other a lot but shouldn't we actors support each other especially when things are so mismanaged?"
