Article--Shilpa Anand--Angry

S hilpa Anand finally breaks her silence on her exit from Dill Mill Gayye. The actress who played Dr Riddhima in the pop medical romance, says she quit to switch to films. She has already done one, Ikraar. There were rumours that she bid farewell because co-star Karan Singh was getting all the attention. Anand laughs this off, "Tell me, when does a cast member ever leave a show on good terms?" No invite Why wasn't she at the press conference which announced the entry of her replacement, Sukriti Khandpal? Anand says it's because the producers wanted to focus on the new Dr Riddhima. Probe a little and she lashes out, "Forget inviting me for the press meet, they didn't even give me a farewell party That's how they thank . someone who gave their show such a boost." Anand has complaints about the working conditions.. the far off sets and problems with taking days off. Her co-stars would feign ill- ness and bunk. Turns out the pay wasn't all that good either. Glam quotient Coming back to Anand's film dreams, do telly stars ever make it big at the movies? Agreed most don't, but Anand says that the other actresses don't get out their saas-bahu moulds.. and aren't glamorous. "But I am not at like Dr Riddhima," she smiles.
