Amit Behl is sacked, allegedly for reporting drunk on the sets of Paraya Dhan
High folks! Amit Behl
Amit Behl who had recently entered Paraya Dhan as Mahendra, has been ousted from the show, as he came drunk on the sets and acted unprofessionally with the production members. Amit, who shot for only two days for the show, has been replaced by Waqar Sheikh in Paraya Dhan.
A source from the production house says, "Amit was chosen to play Mahendra as he suited the character quite well. He also knows the producer Sunjoy Wadhwa for a long time. Despite being an experienced actor, he came drunk on the sets and acted unprofessionally. As the show has a host of new young girls acting in it, the producers did not want to take the risk of keeping him in the serial. They were very upset with his behaviour and decided to replace him. The actor came for the shoot for two days and was then replaced by Waqar Sheikh. Now, the production house and Amit have decided to be tight-lipped about the whole development as it will create a bad impression about Amit."
A seemingly unperturbed Amit says, "I shot for two days and on the third day
Waqar Sheikh
they told me they are working further on the show's looks. On the fourth day, I got call from the production house that they won't be able work with me, so they are replacing me."
Amit also insists that he did not land drunk on the sets of Paraya Dhan. "I have never acted unprofessionally on the sets. This is completely untrue. I have been in the industry for such a long time because of my talent. I drink only at parties. Moreover, no production house has had problems with my drinking. I really don't care if some production house or channel wants to malign me. I don't give a damn," he adds.
Lata Sridhar, supervising producer of the show, is also tight-lipped about the incident. She says, "There was some problem with the looks of the character. We got instruction from the channel to replace Amit, so he has been replaced by Waqar Sheikh. I know nothing beyond that."
Waqar says, "Amit is a very good friend of mine. I know he shot for two days and then he was out of the show. I think the channel had a problem with the look of the character. I know nothing beyond that."
