Bidaai: Avinash and Seema in cold war
Cold war has broken out on the sets of Bidaai with two of its main characters not talking to each other.
Avinash Wadhwa and Seema Kapoor, who play husband and wife in the show, spend the entire day together but do not exchange a word, observers on the sets said.
There appeared to have been ego problems between them and there were a couple of versions for why the two were sulking with each other.
Avinash, who is relaxing at home given the ongoing strike in the industry, acknowledged the problem but refused to reveal its cause. "It just happened," he said, "we had no fight or anything like that, but we do not talk to each other at all."
Asked why this was the case he said: "There's nothing worth telling." Strangely, through this cold war, the couple has been working in normal fashion. "We meet on the sets and give our shots; we are professionals," Avinash said, "but we do not exchange even a smile let alone casual conversation with each other or sharing a Hi and a Bye." He said he couldn't remember when it was that this happened. "I think
it was a bad day for her and also for me, and that's how we didn't converse one day and then a second day and so on."
Asked how long this state of affairs would continue, he said he wouldn't change it on his own: "I will not go forward and make the effort to talk to her."
For her part, Seema said there was nothing to the story. "We are professional actors and have had no fight or argument." Asked why she wasn't speaking to Avinash she said: "We do talk to each other on the sets and our relationship is quite cordial."
She plays mother-in-law to Sadhna (Sara Khan) on the show.
Source close to Avinash speculated on the reasons for the cold war. "They've been avoiding each other and Seema is an intensely private person and seen as moody."
She saw no reason to befriend everyone, he said, and this might have led Avinash to think she had an ego, leading to the problem.
Bidaai is the first show the two are doing together.
