Nitish
Says…
Nitish
was
quoted
by
BT
as
saying,
"Five
of
us,
who
comprise
the
top
cast
of
the
show,
are
extremely
unhappy
with
what
is
going
on
between
Mukesh
Khanna
and
Gajendra
Chauhan.
Firstly,
I
feel
that
every
person
is
entitled
to
his
or
her
views.
If
Mukesh
had
a
view
on
Kapil
Sharma's
show,
it
is
his
view,
and
if
anyone
has
the
right
to
react,
then
it
should
be
Kapil
and
his
team.
Why
is
Gajendra
talking
on
Kapil's
behalf
or
defending
his
show?"
Nitish
Feels
That
There
Was
No
Need
To
Belittle
Mukesh
He
said
that
it
was
Mukesh's
view
or
choice
to
not
be
a
part
of
the
show.
He
felt
that
there
was
no
need
to
belittle
him
or
deride
him
and
indulge
in
personal
slander.
He
further
said
that
Mukesh's
role
as
Bhishma
Pitamah
has
surpassed
all
his
other
roles,
and
he
played
it
to
perfection.
‘This
Kind
Of
Personal
Slander
Was
Not
Required’
On
the
actors'
war
of
words,
Nitesh
further
said,
"It
is
not
in
good
taste
to
comment
on
anyone's
performance
or
career.
We
have
all
seen
how
Gajendra
has
performed
in
films,
politics
and
also,
as
FTII
chairman.
By
commenting
on
Mukesh
and
his
knowledge
and
performance,
he
is
only
venting
out
his
frustration.
All
these
years,
the
actors
of
Mahabharat
have
never
been
embroiled
in
any
controversy,
and
we
should
maintain
that
decorum.
All
of
us
may
not
agree
with
Mukesh's
views,
too,
but
this
kind
of
personal
slander
was
not
required."
Nitish’s
Advice
To
Gajendra
Nitish
concluded
by
saying
that
they
as
artistes
should
only
take
positives
of
others
and
move
on,
rather
than
focus
on
negative
points.
He
also
asked
Gajendra
to
imbibe
the
restraint
of
his
on-screen
character,
Yudhishthir,
in
his
real
life.
