Why was Mita dropped The actress was replaced last minute Neha Maheshwri Mita Vasisht made her comeback on TV after a hiatus of four years with Siddharth Tewarys Phulwa,but then it was not meant to be.The actress had to bow out of the show even before she could commence the shoot.She apparently couldnt adjust her dates for the show owing to her prior commitments.I would have loved to do the project but couldnt adjust my dates as I was called on a short notice.I had kept myself free for the show in January and February but I wasnt required then.They called me the last moment in March when I was shooting for a couple of films and so couldnt adjust my dates.I requested them to wait for a couple of days,but it seems it was not feasible.I then messaged them saying that they must do whats best for the show. Well,anyway,Shweta Kawaatra has now entered the show as the cop.I agreed to take up this role as its an important character and I love the show, she tells us.Its strange that the production house refused to wait for Mita considering they had released pictures of her as Devki.Or did they did try to make the best of the situation and get some publicity for the show in the bargain Hmmm... IN & OUT: Mita Vashisht and (inset) Shweta Kawatra |
