Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka's Abhinav Shukla Files Case Against Producers Over Non-payment Of Dues
Abhinav Shukla has filed a case against the producers of Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka over non-payment of dues.
Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka was one of the popular shows on Colors TV. Although the viewers loved the chemistry of lead actors - Shakti Arora, Aditi Sharma and Drashti Dhami, many of them felt that the show promoted the concept of extra-marital affair. The show also starred Abhinav Shukla, who played Drashti's husband, Rajdeep. But the actor left the show mid-way. It has been two years since the show went off air and we hear that Abhinav is still fighting to get his dues cleared. As per TOI report, the Abhinav has filed a case against the producers, Comall and Sunjoy Wadhwa over non-payment of dues.
As
per
TOI
report,
the
actor's
contract
with
the
production
house
had
a
clause
stating
that
he
would
be
given
a
month's
notice
if
and
when
the
channel
decided
to
axe
his
character.
The
report
suggested
that
initially,
when
he
joined
the
show,
things
went
smoothly
for
a
few
months,
but
after
a
few
months,
the
production
house
sent
a
mail
to
the
actor
saying
that
his
contract
had
been
terminated
with
immediate
effect
and
he
would
no
longer
be
a
part
of
the
show.
Also,
it
is
being
said
that
the
actor
was
not
paid
his
dues
for
two
months.
Hence,
he
filed
case
against
the
producers.
Abhinav refused to comment regarding the same, but his lawyer told the leading daily, "Besides many other issues, including misinforming and misleading the channel that Abhinav wasn't available for the shoot, thereby compelling them to cast another actor as his replacement, the production house has even breached the contract by going against the clause under which Abhinav had to be compulsorily given a termination notice of a month in advance about his exit. He worked during the month of October, 2019, for which he hasn't been paid."
The lawyer further added, "He hasn't got his dues for the month of November as well, as stipulated in the contract. He even approached the channel and the Cine and TV Artists Association (CINTAA) and a meeting was held between CINTAA and Indian Film and TV Producers Council (IFTPC) representing the two parties. However, the solution provided in the meeting wasn't respected by the production house. Left with no other option, he moved criminal court for registration of an FIR for the offences of cheating, fraud and extortion. The next hearing is in February."
When the producer Comall was asked regarding the same, she revealed to the leading daily that they haven't received any communication on any complaint being filed by anyone against them or their company.
