I just remembered the whole Shehzada–Pratiksha situation. Not to bring anyone down, but honestly, what what Shehzada and Pratiksha had to face was way way brtual. They were literally thrown off the set within 15 minutes by Shahi himself—and that too in a very insulting and rude way. It was so bad that Pratiksha ended up crying, her eyes were wet, and even the other cast members felt horrible.
Then the media circus began. Gossip pages started calling them "unprofessional" and "rude". SBS even went live and claimed they were caught kissing on set. Reddit rumors went even more extreme, saying they were caught having s*x. There were wild stories about Shehzada misbehaving with crew and writers, throwing things on set, slapping hair makeup artist etc.
After that, things just snowballed. Shivam the biggest chamcha ,began giving one interview after another, shading Shehzada and Pratiksha. Then Shruti Ulfat followed, and even the actress who played Manisha chachi took jabs at them in her live session. And of course, Shahi himself did rounds of interviews, talking negatively about Shehzada. Then Ekta joined in to support Shahi. That basically opened the floodgates—people trolled Shehzada brutally, and everyone just moved on to support Ropu and Samriddhi.
The comments on Shez and Prats on insta were full of hatred and disgusting stuff. And this kind of trolling doesn’t just harm your mental health, it affects your professional life too. Shehzada hasn’t gotten any solid offers since. So yeah, whatever happened to them was way more brutal.
At least in Vaibhavi’s case, her current cast isn’t being that insensitive toward her, and that’s the one good thing in this mess.
