Raqesh, Riddhi are tantrum couple!
Neha Maheshwri, TNN | Mar 31, 2011, 12.00am ISTEven the lesser- known actors can leave you high and dry with their tantrums if the show is running on their shoulders. The latest to throw a fit ever since they made their relationship public are Raqesh Vashisth (earlier known as Rakesh Bapat) and sweetheart Riddhi Dogra. The two actors have started showing the ugly side of stardom to the cast and crew of their show, Maryada.
Apparently, both Raqesh and Riddhi are giving a tough time to the producers. The couple reaches atleast four to five hours late to the set thereby disrupting the whole schedule and leave on time without completing the set 12 hours of the shoot. The show faces the telecast trouble due to their unprofessional behaviour. And that's not about it, if things don't happen as per their whims and fancies, they stage a walk out together. Informs a source, "Raqesh and Riddhi have been completely unprofessional. They do not care about the fact that their co-actors and the crew too have a personal life. Without giving a second thought about the telecast issue, Raqesh leaves the shoot. He has also staged a walkout a couple of times following some confusion regarding the shooting schedule. Now when he leaves the sets leaving the telecast in lurch, he also tows his girlfriend Riddhi with him."
Senior co-actors apparently have complained against the couple and they have even been summoned by the channel. But both the channel and the production house are helpless in this situation as Raqesh and Riddhi have established themselves in their respective roles and it's not easy to replace an established actor. When contacted, Raqesh however said, "This is not true." Producer Deeya Singh and director Waseem Sabir didn't revert to our text message.
Our advice to the the lovebirds: Mend your ways before too late.
