i fail to understand why u are bringing in apoorva and the issue of what the makers did to him here. what is being discussed here is that ppl had chosen samir as the most popular and it was commuincated to him that he is the winner and at the last moment, just to appease ekta kapoor, the award was given to someone else. if this is what happened, anyone wld be upset and samir has a right to be upset. anyone, at any any level wld be upset if something unjustifiable is done to them. comparisions with Amir/SRK are absoutely ridiculous. you make not like samir/purab but that does not mean that u just continue a tirade against him no matter what. can we not take an objective view on something without being utterly biased for once !
that purab's role was given more airtime at the expense of armaan's was not samir's fault....that was the makers perrogative...why is samir being held responsible for that and moreover bringing that into the award related controversy is completely unnecessary!
Yashi,I have absolutely NOTHING against Samir Soni.In fact I like him a lot,especially after I watched his video 'aaja soniya'.My observations were completely based on the assumptions posted by other ppl.
It's being said that he behaved highhandedly at the awards function by walking out and then walked out of the show too leaving the directors in a lurch.I was criticising him solely on the basis that just because he did not get an award,isn't it too highhanded or arrogant on his part to walk out of a show,that too a show which is his only claim to fame?or cause so much trouble (refusing to shoot,that's absurd!!!!!!!)that he had to be thrown out?????
Even if it was conveyed to him by Sony ppl he was the winner,which seems quite impossible because the winners are declared right on the stage and no one is supposed to know abt it (I can't see kiran Juneja or Reema Lagoo bothering to listen to Ekta Kapoor to give an award to an undeserving candidate,even if she is Jeetendra's daughter,assuming they knew who the winner is going to be in an award voted by the publc;Sony channel also must have other important things to do other than inform an actor among hundreds of them from as many shows about an award which has not yet been declared,that too officially;it might have been an assumption by someone & I do think it's highly foolish of him to go solely by that),Sameer himself is not yet in a position to show starry tantrums.It wasn't as if the judges went on stage,declared he is the winner and then backtracked!!!!!!
As for him being miffed by T & D,I think every actor probably has a grudge against them because all of them have seen mutilation and confusion in their character,be it Apoorva,or Mona,or Mallika and of course Raj.Some of them have airtight contracts so they can't even look for greener pastures while their role is going for a toss.So how come it's only Sameer who is being rumored to show tantrums?If he is really that upset,he can give a time frame and he can quit gracefully and meanwhile the producers can arrange someone else to play the role or at least decide what to do with his role.What I am saying that if he has really left the directors in a lurch,it is highly unprofessional not to mention obnoxius for a character actor to do such a thing.

I have found out about the Awards night and the truth is that the awards were decided and given by the jury which consisted of likes of Shefali Chhaya Shah, Kiran Juneja and Reema Lagoo. And I dont think that they would have been paid by Ekta or Sony to take away the award from SS. In any case, what comes out of Uff's message is SS did not get the award which he think was his, so walked out of the awards function, refused to shoot for JJKN and then was thrown out.
I am still maintaining it's a rumour spread by someone not too fond of Sameer.However,if any of his is true,then it is really highly unproffesional and I do think SS has become a little big for his boots so lets not defend an unproffesional attitude just because we are crazy about him.
