I will never forgive them
Twinkle Bajpai lets off steam after her 'ouster' from the soap Ghar Ki Laxmi Betiyaan and her break-up
She has been accused of firing her mouth too often and she doesn't intend to be different either.
"I follow the dictum of tit for tat. If people expect me to keep my mouth shut and take their nonsense in my stride then they are sadly mistaken," says Twinkle.
Obviously, she is referring to her ouster from the popular soap Ghar Ki Laxmi Betiyaan. Accused of an attitude problem and lack of commitment, she was unceremoniously replaced by Gunjan. "I was giving 16 hours everyday to the show. How much more committed can I be? There were times when they would make me wait for eight hours without taking a single shot," she fumes, adding, "Even while shooting, there was no peace around as the production people would be joking around. My character was that of a serious girl and I needed to concentrate on it. There were times when I would have to tell them to shut up because I simply couldn't take it," she adds. It has been alleged that she would use foul language with them. "That's not true at all," she counters. Money was said to be another issue. "Yes, they were not paying me good money. I was giving my all to the show, doing risky scenes too. Like for a scene, I agreed to ride a horse and fell off it. To date, I have a severe back problem due to it. Despite that, they were not agreeing to give me a raise which I felt I rightly deserved," she says.
She reveals the way she was ousted. "I had sent a letter to the production team about the problems I was having. Then they replaced me without informing me. I learnt about the change when a journalist called up to confirm the news."
Her professional life has picked up but her personal issues still remain unresolved. There were stories of her affair with co-star Yuvraj Malhotra. In fact, Yuvraj had even admitted to the relationship "We were friends. But his admission about an affair came as a shock to me. That's the reason, I stopped talking to him."
It was said that she refused to hug him for a scene "Yes, I did. We had problems and I didn't want to hug him. I could have done the scene with anyone but not him. Today we are not on talking terms," is her firm answer.
