TOI: Aishwarya replaces Rati as host

inShare

Actress Rati Pandey aka Indira of 'Hitler Didi', was almost finalised as the hostess of the upcoming dance reality show, 'India's Dancing Superstar'. However, the deal fell through and the channel replaced her with actress Aishwarya Sakhuja, who is also hosting 'Shriman vs Shrimati' on the same channel.
While the production sources allege Rati was replaced because of her tantrums and diva attitude, the actress claims otherwise. She says, "I was informed of my ouster last evening and that too, when I called up the channel to enquire about the shoot. I had received the contract papers and almost signed it. It seems the production house had informed the channel that I hadn't given them time for the workshop, which isn't true. I had visited actor Mohit Malhotra — the male host of the show — on his set for rehearsals as he was shooting. But on day four of the workshop, I was informed that Mohit has gone abroad. I had blocked my dates for the show and adjusted the shoot of my daily soap accordingly. The channel told me that they had asked the production house to inform me four days ago. Had I not contacted the channel, I wouldn't have known about the development."
Aishwarya didn't revert to our text message.
