The entire Zee TV family was on a celebratory mode yesterday with the Daawat-E-Ishq stars Parineeti Chopra, Aditya Roy Kapur and Anupam Kher rejoicing with Zee TV show actors for the channel's Eid extravaganzaDaawat-E-Eid. But what caught our attention was the absence of cast members ofPavitra Rishta(Balaji Telefilms) from the event.We wondered and pondered on the reason of absence of the stars from the channel's one of the most popular and long running shows.Qubool Haiwas the epicenter of the activity and on probing a bit, we realised that there's no element of animosity or differences between thechannel and the production house creatives, but the reason of nonattendance was something else.Well, the lead pair of the show Ankita Lokhande and Karan Mehra received an invite from the channel to attend the event. In fact, they were also supposed to perform forDaawat-E-Eidbut they backed out a couple of days before the shoot.What was the reason?Their busy shooting schedule. The actors found it difficult to take time off from their busyPavitra Rishtatimetable and hence could not join the channel's Eid fun fare.When contacted Karan he said, "Yes, I did receive an invite from Zee and Iwas to perform but things changed at the last minute. I couldn't find the time out of my shooting schedule."We dropped a text message to Ankitabut she remained unavailable for comment.Zee TV spokesperson remained clueless about this development.We are sure all thePavitra Rishtafans will miss their favourite stars onDaawat-E-Eid.
