Sushant Singh

Recently Sushant Singh showed Ekta Kapoor that she cannot take actors for granted. Just a few weeks ago, Sushant got a call from Ekta Kapoor asking him to meet her at the Balaji office. Incidentally, Sushant is currently doing a serial with Smriti Irani, who is considered to be Ekta's arch rival. Anyway, Sushant did keep his promise and went to Ekta Kapoor's office at the appointed time. The actor was made to wait for a long time. Says a source, "Sushant is a thorough professional. After waiting for a long time, he simply got up and left."

A few days after that, Ekta again summoned Sushant. However, this time he was somewhat stern with Ekta and made it clear that he would meet her only at the appointed hour, not before or after. And this time, Ekta was ready to meet him on time. During the meeting start than Ekta offered Sushant a TV serial. But Sushant turned it down and left.

Ekta Kapoor

Sushant says, "Yes, I was offered a good role in one of her shows. But I refused it as I am not keen on taking up any television show as long as my character in Viruddh is on air. Also, the show had to go air too soon. I cannot handle more than one show at a time and I don't have the stamina to work round the clock. I do not want to be seen in too many television shows at one time."

Did Ekta keep him waiting for hours the first time he went to her office? Replies Sushant, "I do not want to comment on that."

I like that. Someone in the industry actually had to nerve to turn Ekta Kapoor down. He is an amazing actor and I am glad to hear there is one person at least who stands on some principals in this industry.

Kektaa offered sushant the role only because sushant's character in virrudh has become very popular and virrudh's strong point is sushant.
i guess kektaa wanted to make sushant so busy in one of her stupid serials so much that he wudnt be able to give time to virrudh. i am sure kektaa's offered role was too tempting so that sushant cudnt refuse. hats off to sushant for saying NO to kektaa and her manipulations.
I am also sure once virrudh gets off air (that wud surely hapen if sushant leaves virrudh after accepting kektaa's serial), kektaa wud kick out sushant's character from her serial.

i am glad he turned down the role as well - he is awesome in virrudh and that should be his focus right now - around the clock shooting ruins an actor....
