Fans of Mishal Raheja, we have some bad news for you all at this late hour.
Before reading the entire piece, we request the diehard fans of Mishal to get hold of a handkerchief as you might sob uncontrollably.
Mishal, who returned to television after a long hiatus with Colors’ drama Ishq Ka Rang Safed (FilmFarm), is all set to exit from the series.
Few days ago we reported about the actor having issues with the production house considering the financial matters. Now, we hear that even after many meetings both the makers and the actor couldn’t agree on the same line, resulting into Mishal’s exit from the daily.
When we buzzed Mishal about the same, he replied to our text messages stating, “My contract is over, legally, so there is no quitting. They won't reappoint me.”
Mishal added, “We started as a daily, airing from Monday to Friday, which later on became a series airing from Monday to Saturday to seven days a week series. We shot quietly though under inhumane conditions for one year because as professionals are ought to under contract. And then the channel and production houses expect you to keep working at the same cost for another year without increasing the money of the actors who give 90 percent of their life on set shooting, blood and sweat for 15-16 hours in a day. I believe it's unfair to not give an increment to an actor who shoots 29-30 days every month. Before concluding I will add that this is absolutely my personal opinion.”
We can understand that Mishal.
Before Mishal, even Eisha Singh, the female lead of the series, quitted from the soap opera for creative differences with Sanjeeda Sheikh replacing her. Only time will tell whether the daily will see a new entry or replacement, or it wraps us!
We have dropped text messages to producer Pintoo Guha and the channel’s spokesperson, but have not received any reverts till the time of filing the article.
