Mannish loses another role

The actor has been thrown out of 'Betiyaan Apni Yaa… Paraaya Dhan'

Only recently, TV actor Mannish Goel was replaced by Chetan Hansraj as the new character in 'Kaajjal' (Sony). Now, he has been replaced by the makers of 'Betiyaan Apni Yaa… Paraaya Dhan' (Star One). Apparently, he walked out of the sets on Friday even before the shoot was wrapped up.

On Mannish's sacking, the director of the series, Parthhoe Mithraa says, "I was told by the unit hands that Mannish had removed his wig and was leaving despite being told that he would have to wait an hour to complete the shoot. I went up to him and asked him what was wrong. He said it was nothing to do with me but he had issues with the production house. But he didn't even have the courtesy to tell me before leaving."

"He started his career with me in 'Ghar Ek Mandir' few years back and I have never seen this side of him. But now I am shocked and very disappointed at his behaviour. It has been brewing ever since we started 'Paraya Dhan'. He wouldn't give dates and constantly complained of being asked to wait on the sets," says Parthhoe.

"When you charge an exorbitant fee per day, you are expected to be on the sets all day and no one has ever said that life is easy when you are shooting for a daily series. He has been in the industry long enough to know that actors are expected to wait! He has set a bad example and has been unprofessional without doubt," fumes Parthhoe.

"I immediately called the producer Sunjoy Waddwa and the channel and asked for him to be replaced. His 'I was kept waiting' excuse is not acceptable. He was treated with kid's gloves here. Our shoots are held from 10am to 10pm unlike other production houses which work through the day and night. This production house is by far the best in the industry," signs off Parthhoe.

Mannish was not availabe for comment.
