This will probably be the first time when the cast and crew of a television serial will have to leave for an overseas schedule without their director. Nandita Mehra, the director of the show Rabba Ishq Na Hove, may not be able to accompany the cast due to the absence of her passport. What makes the situation dire is the fact that there is a premiere slated for September 11 in Dubai making her presence there absolutely necessary. Was it carelessness or was there another reason for Nandita's carelessness? "It's not that I've been callous. I have been flying for a long time and I do understand the importance of a passport. It's just that my passport got damaged in the rains and I wasn't keeping well after that. So it took me sometime to re-apply."While her chances of getting her passport on time are slim, Nandita refuses to be pessimistic. "I was in tears when I found out that I would be left behind. We were supposed to fly today morning. Luckily the schedule got postponed and I hope things will be alright." As for the passport, she says, "I have been running around trying to use some influence to get it on time but so far there hasn't been any development. Even Aroonaji came with me to request the authorities personally. Let's see what happens now."In the absence of Nandita, Aroona Irani, the producer of the show will step in as director for a couple of episodes. That is till Nandita can reach Dubai. "I have requested Aroonaji to take over. Why should there be any unnecessary delays because of me." Aruna Irani was unavailable for comment. | ||
