Knew most of this 
Also the Smriti and the actress playing Karisma thing is simple. Smriti joined BJP and the actress was very vocal about it in a not so good way. She was shown the door for apparently having an argument with Smriti about her joining a party she disapproved of especially since it had Modi and Shah. Naturally, she got kicked out.
Paani mein rehkar magar se bair is stupidity at its heights. Even if you had political differences why bring it to work? Did all people who work on shows with Smriti right from Kyunki to other shows both on and off screen always vote for BJP just because they worked with her? No. Does Smriti know this fact? Obviously, she’s a smart woman who knows this is basic common sense.
It’s one thing for somebody to not like the BJP or Smriti joining the party, but why try to shoot yourself in the foot and then cry victim about it later? Especially when you know you are up against the main actress in question. Even if it were any other show or actress or even a movie set and it was a male actor instead of Smriti the results were bound to be the same no matter what the industry was.
You don’t try to boss the boss when you’re a mere intern. You don’t try to make yourself seem like some hotshot when you’re just one more face in the supporting cast and barely starting out in the industry by trying to tell the biggest star of the industry at the time what they should and shouldn’t be doing per you.
