Why television world is a hotbed of controversies?
Cases of violent and aggressive behaviour involving television actors seem to be on the rise. 'Diya Aur Baati Hum' co-stars Anas Rashid and Deepika Singh had a showdown on the sets with the latter allegedly slapping her on-screen husband. Anas sent a letter to the Cine And Television Artistes Association raising concerns regarding her violent behaviour and asked them to take suitable action.
Anas feels that aggression and violent behaviour often stem from the pressure and challenges of having an erratic work schedule. "Every conditional relationship needs time and proper care. We shoot 24x7, at times in faraway locations, and don't get time to spend with our loved ones. I salute people who understand the professional challenges of their actor-spouses and stick by them," he adds.
Since the actors play a particular character for a long time, they tend to somehow live them and that takes a toll, he states. "There are times when I am sleeping, but am still shooting in my head. It's human behavioral psychology. It's a big task to be sane and shoot all day. Also at times it becomes irritating because you end up spending too much time on the sets," he avers.
