Anita cancels Screen awards performance

Anita Hasanandani (Anjali of Kavyanjali) was all set to rock the Star Screen awards with Zayed Khan on Wednesday night. However, things didn't go as planned. The actress had to cancel her performance due to a sty in her left eye.

"I would have loved to be a part of the awards, but since the last few days, I have been suffering from a sty in my eye", says Anita.

Shweta Tiwari, Juhi Parmar, Shilpa Saklani and Anita were supposed to join Zayed on stage to dance to a medley of songs that included Dus Bahane. However, due to Anita's condition, Surveen Chawla was roped in at the last minute to join the rest of the cast.

"I am under medication and using eye drops. In fact, I had even taken a short break for a couple of days from Kavyanjali, due to the sty. There is no way I can stand in front of the camera and shoot." However, there has been a slight improvement in her condition after medication.

"I did shoot today, but for long shots, since close ups are not possible. I think it will take some time for the sty to totally dissapear."

Does she regret not being part of the show, she says, "It wasn't in my hands. Of course, I would have loved to dance with Zayed and perform. Maybe next time…."
