Co-stars not getting along on the sets is pretty common in the Indian TV industry. The latest to join the bandwagon are the lead actors of Colors' daily soap Roop - Mard Ka Naya Swaroop. Buzz suggested that Shashank Vyas and Donal Bisht recently had a verbal spat while filming a sequence. Although the duo blatantly dismissed the reports and called them baseless, BollywoodLife has learnt that no such thing happened. When we investigated further, we uncovered what goes on behind the scenes of the show. According to an onlooker, Shashank Vyas who is a senior actor to co-star Donal Bisht who is just a year old in the industry, is harassing her.
Another source, close to the production house added, "He surely has some problem with Donal or probably he is too insecure. He often taunts her saying that she isn't that famous in comparison to his fan following. He always wanted the track to revolve around him and not focus much on her. He has also gone to the channel with the suggestion of replacing her. In one of the sequences, he refused to chase Ishika (Donal's on-screen character) and asked why he chase a girl being the male lead. If you want to give her more importance why don't you replace the show's name as Ishika from Roop,' he said during that incident.
Another verified source who has worked with Vyas in his previous show Jaana Na Dil Se Door confirmed and added, "He is always cribbing that he needs to be the centre of attraction since the show is about him. In fact, in his previous show, the crew was so upset with his behaviour that they refused to take his gift (Vyas gifted the entire crew a bunch of T-shirts on the last day).
The verified bystander further revealed that recently when actors Neil Bhat and Donal Bisht were headed to Chandigarh for a promotional trip sans Vyas, the actor created hullaballoo on the sets.
We contacted Donal, who heard us patiently. She said, "Both of us are shooting as professionals. And honestly I would not like to talk about this issue anymore.
Shashank Vyas, after a brief conversation, chose to not give any comments.
