Shweta may be shown the door
Ever since Shweta Tiwari’s personal life came under a cloud, she has been unable to focus on her ongoing soap Kasautii Zindaglli Kay. And the sufferer is none other than Balaji whose schedules are going awry. Says a source very close to the serial, “It’s becoming more and more difficult for us to co-ordinate Shweta’s dates. She sometimes hours and hours late for shooting. This may be a permissible lapse in a feature film.
But in a daily soap even half-an-hour-’s delay means an inexcusable delay in deliverine the episode.”According to inside information, Ekta is now thinking of relocation Kasautii Zindagii Kay from daily primetime to an afternoon slot. As per secret plans at Bajaj, the creative heads now intend to give the channel a brand new show to replace Kasautii which has been on air for over five years at primetime, they plan to relocate Kasautii to the afternoon slot and replace Shweta. Says the source,”It’s the only way to beat the incessant attack on deadline that Kasautii is suffering see, now that Cezanne Khan is out of Kasautii the serial cannot survive without Shweta, at least not at Primetime. And Shweta knows it.” However, Ekta Kapoor refuses to confirm anything. While refusing to comment on the casting freeze in Kasautii Ekta Kapoor says, “The cast is a perennial problem for us. The actors become successful through the show and then start believing that the show runs on their steam. But the truth, I’m afraid, is otherwise.”
