Sushant Singh in a recent interview opened up about his exit from the popular show Savdhaan India. The actor said that he was informed that his contract was being terminated.
Sushant
Singh
in
a
recent
interview
opened
up
about
his
exit
from
the
popular
show
Savdhaan
India.
The
actor
said
that
he
was
informed
that
his
contract
was
being
terminated.
He
stated
that
no
valid
explanation
or
reason
was
stated
by
the
channel
about
the
decision.
On
being
quizzed
if
he
feels
that
his
exit
from
the
show
can
be
attributed
to
him
voicing
his
opinions
against
the
Citizenship
Amendment
Bill,
Sushant
stated,
“I
don’t
know
why
the
channel
decided
to
change
the
host
and
I
don’t
speculate.
It’s
strange
that
all
this
happened
on
the
day
I
appeared
at
the
protest.
If
that
was
the
reason,
I
don’t
regret
it.”
On
the
other
hand,
the
channel
has
vehemently
denied
that
the
decision
had
anything
to
do
with
Sushant’s
views
on
the
Citizenship
Amendment
Act
(CAA).
A
channel
spokesperson
said,
“Star
Bharat
is
dismayed
by
some
reactions
regarding
a
change
at
Savdhaan
India.
Savdhaan
India
has
frequently
experimented
with
formats
and
has
used
multiple
presenters
in
its
7-year
journey.
The
existing
presenter
was
brought
back
in
October
2019,
with
the
contract
ending
on
January
15,
2020.
The
next
format
of
Savdhaan
India
did
not
require
a
presenter,
and
hence
a
new
contract
was
not
signed.
The
channel
has
no
political
views,
nor
does
it
seek
to
influence
the
political
views
of
its
contracted
talent.”
Although
Sushant’s
contract
for
the
show
was
due
until
January
2020,
the
actor
claims
that
his
last
day
of
shoot
was
December
20.
Further
elaborating
about
his
sudden
exit
from
a
show,
Sushant
said
that
he
and
his
family
were
prepared.
He
added,
“Should
I
think
about
a
better
today
or
a
better
tomorrow?
The
tomorrow
is
for
my
children.
When
they
grow
up
and
ask
me
what
I
was
doing
when
students
were
facing
atrocities,
I
can
answer
them.
There
are
many
who
feel
what
is
happening
is
wrong
and
have
spoken
out.
Others
don’t
feel
so
and
are
silent.
My
acting
prowess
comes
at
a
price,
not
my
principles.”
It
is
still
unclear
if
the
decision
by
the
channel
had
anything
to
do
with
his
active
participation
in
the
protests
about
the
controversial
bill.
However,
he
does
believe
that
the
termination
is
either
due
to
his
participation
in
the
CAA
protest
or
due
to
the
budget
constraints
stated
by
the
channel.
Sushant
has
been
in
the
news
ever
since
his
agreement
with
Savdhaan
India
was
terminated
without
any
notice
just
hours
after
he
had
participated
in
a
CAA-related
protest.
Sushant
has
received
immense
support
and
love
from
netizens
on
social
media.
