Nandini out of Balaji shows

Nandini Singh

Nandini Singh is currently working in two shows, Kesar and Kavyanjali, but reports say the actress has been shown the door by Balaji Telefilms and the production house won't be working with her any more.

Not only is she out of Kavyanjali, but with Kesar soon going off air, Singh won't be entertained at Balaji House anymore.

Revealed a source working on Kavyanjali, "Yes, Nandini (who plays Pammi in the show) has told Ekta Kapoor that she doesn't want to work in the show any more. She had reservations about playing a mother, and besides, we were tired of hearing her complain about being unhappy with everything.

Her contract ends July 13, so till then, she will have to work with us." Another actor aware of the situation added, "I think Balaji may take legal action against her if she breaks the contract and tries to act smart. She has already been making life hell for everyone on both shows."

The actress reportedly had a showdown with Ekta, resulting in Kapoor telling her that she could leave once her contract expires.

Sandiip Sikcand, the current creative head for Kavyanjali, threw light on the development.

"Yes, we won't be working with Nandini after her contract expires. She has already conveyed her decision to us. We have already got her out of Kavyanjali and made changes in the script."

Is it true that Singh has been making life difficult for the show? "I have worked with her in Kesar and she's a very sweet girl. But on the acting front, I heard a lot of complaints about her, especially her tantrums. However, I only felt it after I started working on Kavyanjali."

Sikcand defends his production house. "How can you be so unprofessional when you are being pampered so much and paid on time. I don't understand how television actors can take their work for granted."

Too much trouble

Another source from Balaji confirmed that Ekta wouldn't be working with Nandini in the future. "Why would Ekta work with her after all the trouble Nandini has given her co-stars; she made life miserable for them on the show."

Meanwhile, Nandini was unavailable for comment.
