The Director and Ashish do not get along very well, I presume. Ashish seems to be in the Aamir Khan mould, getting too involved with the whole process & applying his technique rather than what the Director tells him to do......so I guess there is bound to be some amount of friction. But yes, Jingle, I immediately noticed that the Director (Rishi Talwar) took almost everyone's name except Ashish's!
Regarding Ashish's name not being on the Zee Synopsis list, the reason for this could be manifold. First, this is Ashish's ''major'' foray into television hence he being a relative newcomer, maybe the producers decided to cut out his name & show the names of more known artists like Kanwaljeet & Zarina Wahab. (Chhavi's name was there because she is the title character and technically the lead)
Secondly, I remember mentioning before that the storyline of Tumhari Disha has undergone a lot of change and according to the inital storyline, it was Inder who was the protogonist & not DK.......who was rather to be one of the main supporting characters of the serial.
But as time went by & judging by the audience reactions (Believe me, our Forums are read by them!), the Producers very wisely decided to bring the character of DK into limelight & put Inder in the back-burner........and see the results, Tumhari Disha has topped the Zee TRP's in a span of just 6 months!
My two bits once again, sorry if I appear to be too preachy & over-descriptive always......old habits die hard!
