Ksh, I understand your frustration. But there are some factors involved in why Mishal can't just answer all of our questions. He's a thorough professional and he has, in his own way, attempted to clarify the rumours once and for all. Remember the on-the-sets segment where he interviewed the crew of LTL and clarified the tantrum rumours? It seems that people keep forgetting that the interview took place and that Mishal did, in fact, clarify those rumours. Why should he keep clarifying the same rumours over and over again - just because his fans end up in doubt whenever another tabloid article is surfacing?
The man even clarified that he isn't returning to LTL and still people didn't believe the two articles with his interviews and continued to hold on to the hope of him returning - only to blame him when that didn't happen. Doesn't make sense when he'd already told his fans that he had quit the show na?
The thing about all the articles that are written about him from TOI, TB, and TC - they all repeat the same things from back in December 2010. Sometimes they even add the "financial demands" detail to them. Personally I believe Mishal. He clarified the tantrum rumours once and that's enough for me to believe him and know that 1) either the reporters don't know anything about Mishal themselves and so they're just repeating the same old crap in every article, or 2) Colors has conveniently told them to stick to the rumours as that would benefit their show and the new actor(s) on it.
In the end, if anyone's blaming Mishal and doubting him - then Colors succeeded.
In addition to all this, I'd like to point out that actors are often bound in contracts. We don't know what kind of contract binds Mishal. Perhaps he isn't allowed to speak out unless the show ends, and even if that's not the case and he's just not speaking out about the whole matter - then who are we to demand it from him? Whatever has happened between Colors and him is none of our business. Mishal has already told us what we should know 1) he quit the show for good, 2) the rumours are untrue, 3) he doesn't know yet in what form he'll be back, but he'll be back (in acting) soon.
What more can we demand of him?
Even without badmouthing anyone in his interview, he'd still be creating unnecessary problems between him and Colors by revealing any part of the reason why he left. Especially if they asked him not to or he had some kind of conversation with any of the higher powers and agreed to keep silent about the matter.
Being a good person and one that doesn't hold grudges, I think that Mishal has just decided to move on and be happy. Why can't we all do the same? Colors are the ones who ruined our show. We know that. What more do we need to discuss?
I believe that Mishal loved Dutta even more than we've ever loved him. The guy lived his life for 12 hours every day for almost over a year. But he made a choice, difficult one too. I admire him for leaving Dutta behind. He's been honest to his character, his fans, and most importantly - himself. He's done the right thing - considering where Colors wanted to lead the story to. Had he stayed, his character would have been butchered even more.
Honestly, Mishal did the right thing for himself and us. He said that he'd be back soon. That's a promise he made his viewers. I appreciate the fact that he gave us that piece of comfort and will wait for his next. Until then, Colors can rot in Hell and I'll continue to watch LTL1 on script.
