Our source EXCLUSIVELY reveals to us on
what exactly went wrong between Parth
and Vikas and how Parth landed himself in a
dirty whatsapp chat. Read on...
It was a little above noon on December 27, when
a piece of news broke our afternoon languor. Teen
heartthrob and youth icon Parth Samthaan aka
Manik Malhotra of the cult show Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan
found himself in a soup as an entertainment
portal leaked out snapshots and details of what
was allegedly a scandalous whatsapp group
created by the actor to share details of the sexual
conquests of his co-stars and himself. The group
was named as Wh**es and more wh**es. When
asked about it, he said he was unaware about the
group and also stated that he was being framed
by someone. His co-stars Utkarsh Gupta who
played Dhruv on the show and Karan Jotwani who
plays Aryaman were also questioned by the
portal. While Karan stayed mum Utkarsh did
confirm that such a group was indeed in
existence. Fans of the actor took to social
networking sites to defend the actor against the
charges. We spoke to a few people in the industry
who told us that whatsapp groups were common
in the industry and such boy-talk' was usual
amongst friends. Some even scoffed saying it was
not news-worthy and surely not Controversial'
considering it was in the private domain. The only
thing was - it was highly damaging for Parth's
reputation. He was viewed as someone who had
high regard for woman and this revelation
shattered that image.
Within hours, a lot of hate mail was directed at
Vikas Gupta, who was Parth's long-time friend
and mentor. Well, Vikas is a well-known producer
and programming head. He was the producer of
Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan. As per buzz, Parth and he
were having issues due to professional reasons
since a few months. When we contacted him, he
said he was shocked by the negativity hurled at it
but would not comment since it was now a legal
matter. We tried getting in touch with Parth but
he remained unavailable. On December 28, he
replied back saying, "Just wait a day or so...You
will get your answer."
On December 30, we got the news of Parth
having accused Vikas of molestation, non-
payment of dues, defamation and extortion. In a
statement, Parth said that he wanted his dues of
Rs 5, 50,000 and said that he was being asked to
give Rs 50, 00,000 as ransom. He also accused
Vikas of trying to ruin his career. While Vikas did
not comment, his lawyer Yadunath Bhargawan
said that his client had initiated legal proceedings
against him. The police however clarified that the
stress here was on professional matters and
molestation was not the key issue.
The framing angle
One of the key angles of the story is the one
where Parth said he was being framed and
implicated. An insider tells us that a ploy to trap
Parth was being hatched since some time. And it
was done in a very inconspicuous manner. The
same source informed us that boy talk was quite
prevalent amongst the group. So, one day
someone suggested that a group be made for the
same and casually Parth created the group,
which automatically made him the administrator,
which is why his initial reaction on the media
expose' was one of shock and then realization.
Another source told us that even the telephonic
recording, where Parth reportedly bitched about
his co-star Niti Taylor was extracted when he was
drunk and in a tell-all mode. Only that part of the
conversation was recorded and kept for future
use. We spoke to a few people in the industry,
who talking about the whatsapp footage, said
that it was virtually impossible to lay hands on
such data unless someone literally doled it out.
The coming clean' ideology was also brushed
aside as no one with an iota of intelligence would
share such conversations with outsiders.
What went wrong...
Three days back Ekta Kapoor gave a statement
that Vikas Gupta and Parth were in a relationship.
Everyone knew that the two shared an extremely
close relationship as friends and that Parth
considered Vikas as his mentor. However, they
had a fall-out due to a change in their personal
equation and money matters. A source says it
intensified when Parth walked out of Kaisi Yeh
Yaariyan in the middle of 2015. The actor
apparently told the channel that he left due to his
issues with Vikas. After the TRPs rating
plummeted, the channel reportedly asked Vikas
to sort things out. The two had a meeting to sort
out issues and he was back on the show.
However, Parth bagged his Bollywood film in
quick time and this time he was leaving for good.
So, the actor was insistent on settling the
financial matter. As per sources his
aggressiveness shocked Vikas, who never
expected his protege to indirectly threaten him.
Reliable sources tell us that unlike his co-stars,
Parth was not media-friendly. This is quite
apparent as he never gave clear explanations
when asked about his exit or re-entry from Kaisi
Yeh Yaariyan. The only time he lashed out against
the media was when it was reported that he was
thrown out a show due to his unprofessional
behavior. Moreover, it was tough to get an
interview with him, which upset many members
of the media. This was perhaps why not many
cross-questioned or delved into this sudden
revelation of the actor being a womanizer.
Playing to their strengths
While such news would have ended any other
young actor's career, Parth has escaped with
minor cuts. This is largely due to his fans, who
worship him. So much so, that a majority of them
have said that they will love irrespective of
whether he's gay, bisexual or straight. Talking
about his relationship status, many knew that he
was with model-actress Disha Patani for quite
some time. The actor also gave the statement, "A
lot of people already knew that I was always in a
relationship with a girl. Yes, me and Vikas were
good buddies and supported each other... But
then that's it!" Even here, we wonder why the
actor took so much time to open up when
speculations of Vikas and him being in a
relationship were doing the rounds since day one.
Or was it Ekta Kapoor's statement that forced him
out of his silence. A lot of Vikas' industry friends
have come out in support of him, which is
understandable considering his position and
competence as a professional.
Insiders say it is Parth's alleged molestation
charge against Vikas, which has angered them as
they were aware of their close friendship'. If it
was indeed a story of a consensual relationship
gone awry, we cannot help but wonder that these
two people could have easily solved it without this
hullabaloo. Sexuality is a sensitive topic - and
once a shadow of doubt gets cast - it can impact
personal and professional life, especially in a
conservative society like ours.www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/leaked-the-mystery-behind-parth-samthaans-ugly-whatsapp-scandal-and-his-controversial-past-with-vikas-gupta/
