Shehzada Dhami On Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Controversy
During the Bigg Boss 18 premiere episode, Shehzada Dhami did not hold back when it came to clearing the air around his termination from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Shehzada Dhami stated being yelled at by show makers and recalled how he was the lead actor, portraying the role of an advocate, for a show that required him to work almost 15-hour shifts for a continuous period of 6 months that too without any taking breaks for food or even vacations.
He further added he was a dedicated actor and poured his heart and soul into the project, working tirelessly for the success of the show. However, to his surprise, he was suddenly given leave without notice. On his off day, he was called for an urgent meeting called by the producers and when he arrived, the producer publicly humiliated and berated him in front of the entire cast and crew.
Shehzada did not just stop there he added how on his first day of shooting as a lawyer, the director requested that he wear bracelets up to his wrist. However, when the creative head approached Shehzada he questioned the choice of bracelets, and how they were inconsistent with the character’s look. He then went on to explain that before shooting the next scene, he remembered to remove the bracelets and give them to the wardrobe team. When the director noticed that he was no longer wearing them, he became furious, berating him for removing them. Shehzada then attempted to explain that the creative head had instructed him to do so, but his explanation was met with further shouting and aggression.
