Sacked!
Kavita Shyam
Reportedly, Twinkle Bajpai aka Laxmi of Ghar Ki Lakshmi - Betiyaan was
asked to leave the serial because of her endless tantrums.

Lashing
out at her unprofessional attitude Sanghamitra Panigrahi, creative head
of the show, said, "Twinkle has been behaving in a very unprofessional
manner. She would not give enough time to the show and the shoot was
held up. She had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude and her equation with
the rest of the co-stars was getting affected. The quality of the show
was suffering, also we have suffered financial losses. We had no option
but to scout for a replacement. We are scared to experiment with her
any longer. Our show is the top priority for us and it is not dependent
only on one person."
Spewing
venom against the production house and defending herself, Twinkle said,
"I have been blamed for not giving enough time to the show and walking
out of the sets, but it is untrue. Apart from 14 hours on my scheduled
days, I give 8 hours extra on my non-blocked days. In the past six
month I have taken only five days off, I've not been able to go to
Lucknow, (my hometown) for Holi. I have not been able to appear for my
BA final exams. This is a thankless job. I'm neglecting my health and I
keep falling sick and hospitalised because of the stress. In spite of
me putting in extra hours they blame me for all the delay. I can't take
it anymore. It's ok if I'm replaced by someone else."
Gunjan
Walia is now replacing Twinkle in the show. Not only has Gunjan been
briefed about her character, she also has to watch previous episodes to
get the feel of the story and her role.
