There is something wrong when it comes to the workings in Balaji Telefilms' successful show on Zee TV, Jodha Akbar.
Yes, the historical is doing great and there is not an iota of doubt that the creatives and the director of the show are doing a great job.
But there is a glitch. A person can be a good professional, however, it is also of paramount importance to be a good human being as well and treat your colleagues with love and respect.
The director ofJodha, Santram Verma, is what we hear from sources, has emerged a terror and an obnoxious figure.
Te llychakkar.com months back wrote an article stating a whopping 90 heads from the show's technical team resigning owing to Santram's intolerable behavior.
And now the count is 91 as an actor, yes an actor, has moved out of the project after being struck by Santram crisis.
We are talking about Ankita Dubeywho used to play the role of Jodha's friend.
In a conversation withTellychakkar.com the lady went on to share her anguish and grievance.
"I used to be on the sets yet he used by dupe. My scenes were chopped every now and then. After a while I was so fed up that I put down my papers. So, I resigned in August and in October I was to leave the show but, then Santram wasn't around for a month so I decided to continue. Everything was okay but the moment Santram got back on the project, the pattern started again and I finally moved out."
Ask her why did he just trouble her and she states, "My other colleagues too were troubled by him. It's just that I was his main target and I think this was because I voiced my opinion. However, I never disrespected him. Isn't it weird to learn that such a big director could spend his energy on troubling a beginner like me?"
Didn't the actress inform Ekta Kapoor (Balaji head) about the same, "I couldn't reach Ekta Mam but, the entire Balaji creative team supported me. In fact, Tanushree mam (Balaji creative) always told me that she liked my work but, then when it came to choosing between me and our director I knew it would be him. After all he has given some of the most popular shows to Balaji and I have no complains with the production house. The authorities there are extremely nice people."
Tell her that we hear that she was replaced because she wasn't good at her role to which she states, "Had I not been a good actress they would have replaced me nine months ago. The creative definitely wanted me on the show but I had to move out because of Santram as he was affecting me mentally and financially. I have been through the worst phase of my life in the past three months where I have suffered badly. My friends are helping me get out of it at the moment."
We tried reaching Santram but he remained unavailable for comment.
And for Ankita, we wish her all the luck and success!!!

Santram has been in the news for all the wrong reasons from day 1 since the show started.

Its high time Ekta investigate the matter n take an action...

As for RT praising the director...he is being modest n humble...n director is the captain of the ship...its a respect he gave him...n noone will criticise a person on stage

But Rajat seems to have a good rappo with the director.. Rajat has praised him many times.. Guess the director does not trouble the leads 🤔
