Alias Kader, the choreographer who taught Amit Sadh and Neeru Bajwa the basics of dancing has been sacked by none other than the couple itself. A miffed Kader, coming heavily on Amit says, "I did not expected this from Amit. Even after giving them so much attention and putting in so much effort, this is what I get. I put all my other assignments on hold for this. I have been working on them since two months. This is very unprofessional of Amit. I always encouraged both of them and told them it is important to strive for the best."
Further, Alias elaborates, "I recollect the talks we shared. He would to tell me that he is a very straightforward person but now, I think I should learn some diplomacy from him. He has been very ungraceful. I don't think Neeru has to do anything with this as she is a sweetheart. She does not even have a say in the matter."
He has no problem with the production house and says, "They are acting as per the contract (which says that if a couple is not satisfied with the choreographer, then the choreographer will be out). I have my got payment on time, though I am yet to receive three cheques which they said they will issue before the due date," he adds.
So what really happened? "I got a call from my assistant saying that Amit and Neeru were not happy with my choreography and wanted me to be replaced. I tried to call Amit and Neeru but they did not take my call. Then, I called the Nach Baliye people to be told that they will call me back. They did revert back but only to tell me that I was no more a part of the show. In all this, not once did Amit and Neeru call me or talk to me. If they had a problem, they should have at least had the courtesy of informing me. All this happened between Tuesday and Wednesday. In two days I was sacked and immediately replaced. But it's okay. Life doesn't stop here."
Amit Sadh, on the other hand says, "There is no such sacking thing pur thodee anban to hothi hi hai (some differences are always there). I don't want to comment on anything because we are a young couple who have just started their career. The show is getting challenging and we needed time. Alias was a buddy and he still remains so but when work is a priority, friendship takes a back seat. He is a good choreographer and we wish him luck."
Alias Kader has been replaced by Birju and Swarup who choreographed Sai and Shakti Anand.
