Why Did Manish Goyal Not Thank Anuj Saxena?

Showbuzz Network | Friday, February 03, 2006 9:8:11 IST

Anuj and Manish may be enemies today but Manish has every reason to be thankful to Anuj for his deed a few years back!

This is another addition to the list of different ways and means employed by television actors to remain in the news! Recently Manish Goyal threw a Thanksgiving Party. It was an occasion to thank all the people who had contributed to his success (?). Considering Manish had invited the whole world or rather whoever cared to attend, we were a little surprised to find one of his ex-costars missing at the party. We are talking about Anuj Saxena.
On second thoughts, we aren't really surprised as Manish's wife, Poonam Narula, has spared no opportunity to speak negative stuff about Anuj in print. The two have even worked opposite each other recently but never exchanged words. Manish has worked with Anuj in 'Saara Aakash'. While the guys were real life friends at one time, today they are not on talking terms. No wonder wifey seizes every opportunity to throw daggers at hubby's enemy dearest.
Coming back to Manish and his lavish party, we told you about Anuj's exclusion from the guest list. Now why this is our concern will be obvious when you read on. Backtracking a few years, if you recall poor little Manish Goyal had fainted on the sets of 'Saara Aakash'. We don't recall the reason for this, probably it was stress or tension but there was no doctor on the sets. Anuj, a doctor-turned-actor swung into action immediately and gave him artificial respiration to save his life. This makes us wonder how some people choose to be thankless. But then isn't this the way the industry functions.
We're sure Anuj is too humble a person to react to petty things and people, and believes in moving on in life. His plate seems to be full with his shoots, his production house, and the forthcoming Filmfare awards that his pharmaceutical company, Elder Pharma, is sponsoring. And by the way, it just struck us. What success is Manish talking about, unless he's referring to entering the final round of the 'Nach Baliye' contest!
