Absolutely agree with you👏
I really dont know how people sympathize with him becoz he was in break he already signed the contract for 11 months...When they called him, if he is really afraid abt this pandemic situation he could have refused them saying I am afraid so i am quitting ..but his father demanded double pay and 25 days of work..is he signing a new contract??..he was in a contract already he bound to resume work if not he is free to quit.
Why he took till July 7th to say No to work..he could have informed them earlier right..he was waiting to know the result of his demands..when they refused he has given the reason as pandemic
To the extent of my knowledge this issue was put forth by Rajan sir long back in June in Pink villa article.. That an actor from his team has been demanding double payment nd all nd also an SBS video abt it
There was ample time to rectify the matter before the shooting started.. Everyone was wondering who could be that person
Never expected it to be Ritvik.. He could have directly spoken to Rajan sir and amicably opted out nd nobody can compel to work under this pandemic condition
DKP too must have thought if Shivangi can travel from Dehradun, Quarantine nd resume shoot why not Ritvik
I think they too waited for a long time because they might have thought he will give them a date to resume
But since he was unsure of himself they had no option but to replace him as the story needs to proceed further
This happens in the entertainment industry if you don't comply with the contract they will be ruthless
It's easy to get a new person for a new character but to get a person for an established character who has a great connect with the audience is a challenge for the PH too
This must have irked the PH that they came out in public because they were also working with restricted conditions, other responsibilities like taking care of the health conditions which is a very big challenge, seeking sponsors, TRP race, working with limited staff nd rotation system so that each one gets a fair chance etc
Not in support of DKP but just a few cents on the challenges faced by any PH
Under normal circumstances they might have ignored but they must have made it public as a warning to the rest of the team so as to face the consequences.. May be an indirect hint
We seen each one of the cast coming out in open with their posts Chaitraliji, Sanjeev ji that is mamu nd were very appreciative of the efforts taken by DKP even Shah said in SBS interview that the PH is not only sticking to the SoPs but also doing much more than that
Everybody was feeling safe and happy with the arrangements
Ritvik could have also consulted Shah as they were close on how to go about this in a better way if at all he doesn't want to continue because more than Rithvik's Dad Shah cld have guided him better as a senior in the industry
Even In the ET interview Ritvik himself stated that he had asked to handle the issue by his dad and told that increase in the payment might be a detrimental factor to call him back which can be a wrong move
We have also come across Ritvik as a very mature person who handles even the awkward questions with grace in all his insta live sessions and his captions also display his sense of humor, apt timing and answers all the questions with a beautiful flow, clarity of thoughts.. A tough phase in his life with a wrong timing.. Everyone goes through one such phase at some point of time in life
Anyway we as viewers lost to see Ritvik as Nanko back with whom we shared many emotions
Hats off to Ritvik who did a phenomenal acting portraying various shades of Kunal with ease.. Take a bow Ritvik👏👏.. Will miss you as Kunal and the Abinal bonding too
Wishing him the very best for his future projects 👍❤️
