“Truant” Vikrant Massey quits Bindass’ Yeh Hai Aashiqui

Feathers have ruffled a bit on the sets of Bindass’ Yeh Hai
Aashiqui (Lost Boy Productions and BBC Worldwide Productions).
The latest that we have learnt is that the show’s host, Vikrant
Massey, has decided to bring out the “quit” card from his
pocket.
Let’s unwrap the story bit by bit, to make matters simple.
A source working in one of the above production houses shared
with us that Vikrant has been acting way too pricey and has
resorted to truant means of bunking work.
Here’s the source’s version. “Producer Vikas Gupta (Lost Boy) is
very close to Vikrant. Vikas is the one who fought tooth and
nail to convince the channel to hire Vikrant as the host. All
was fine until Vikant gained more popularity via Lootera and
Qubool Hai (Zee TV). Suddenly his ways changed and he started
bunking work and did not show up on days when he was supposed to
shoot for Yeh Hai Aashiqui.”
On further prodding the source, he/she said that on many
occasions due to Vikrant’s sudden absence, cost of production
went up.
“Things turned difficult. On the day of his shoot, Vikrant just
called up and said, ‘Yaar, aaj busy hoon, kal karte hain’.
Everything went for a toss. He said he is busy with Qubool Hai,
but when we checked on the Qubool Hai sets, he was not there.”
The same source also added that Vikrant’s priorities have
changed and he is eyeing films now post Lootera and on days when
he’s supposed to shot for Yeh Hai Aashiqui, he auditions for
movie roles.
Serious allegations, we must admit. Hence, it was obvious to
check with Vikrant before publishing the article.
Said Vikrant in his usual rugged and sexy tone: “I agree to most
of the things. I did miss some of my shooting dates for Yeh Hai
Aashiqui. But I won’t call myself truant. It was not done
deliberately. Qubool Hai is a daily and my need and commitment
towards the show is more. And with the recent fight scenes and
other active plots in this Zee show, shooting has become very
hectic. Furthermore, it is also true that I am eyeing more
films. It was unfortunate that I could not give time to Yeh Hai
Aashiqui and keeping the show’s future and progress in mind, I
have decided to quit and pave way for someone who can do justice
as the host of the show. Anyways, my contract period with the
show has also come to an end.”
So has he officially quit and would it affect his relationship
with Vikas? “Yes, I have conveyed my decision to the concerned
persons but I don’t think my choice will affect my relationship
with Vikas as we have known each other for a long time and we
don’t let professional issues affect our personal rapport. I
wish Yeh Hai Aashiqui all the luck and success in the future.”
Adding on to the drama, we have learnt that the production house
is looking for a replacement but the channel is keen on
retaining Vikrant and he might also get a remuneration hike to
continue being a part of the Bindass project.
We tried reaching Producer Vikas Gupta but he remained out of
reach.

developments!!!
