Nikhil bashes up TV producer
Certainly hectic work schedules get to actors and get to them real bad. Apparently few days ago Rudra (Nikhil Arya) from Kesar got into a fight with Naushad, the executive producer of the show. It supposedly started with a verbal showdown and then the 'hot headed' allegedly bashed up Naushad.
The ones present on the sets said, "Nikhil has always had a bad temper." Sources further reveal that the actor got furious with Naushad, who by mistake stepped in the field area as his co-star-cum-friend Vishal Watvani was giving a shot. And that was the reason why the actor allegedly slapped him.
However Arya denies it. "This is all crap!" he snaps. Nevertheless he doesn't deny the allegations completely. "My friend Vishal was giving his shot. It was a two page dialogue that required tremendous concentration. There was just too much noise on the other side of the sets that was distracting him. Even seven re-takes hence the shot was not okayed. I just couldn't take that. So I walked up to that group and screamed my lungs out. I told them that we would pack up and leave and asked them not to distract us. Then I got back to my place. After the shot was okayed Nushad turned around and told me, 'Tu itna kyon chilla raha hai? Apne kaam se matlab kah na.' I lost my cool and held him by his collar. I didn't like the way he spoke with me. He forced me to use foul language. But I did not raise my hand." But he is quick to apologise. "I know I shouldn't have done all that. But he was damn rude and I didn't know any other way of dealing with him." The unit members however are annoyed. Seemingly they've even asked Naushad to lodge a formal complaint against the actor. But no decisions have been taken.
A friend says, "Nikhil is an insecure and a frustrated actor. His character in Aroona Irani's Rabba Ishq Na Hove will be bumped off very soon. Probably that is driving him insane."
