Controversy
Paras Kalnawat’s contract with the makers of Anupamaa has been terminated after he signed the celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 10 on a rival channel without their permission in July 2022. The show’s producer Rajan Shahi said in a statement,
We as a production house will not entertain contract violations. We have terminated his service as an actor effective immediately. We wish him the best in the future.”
While reacting to this, Paras claimed that at the time the makers of Anupamaa terminated her contract, she had not signed Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 10. Paras said,
I am looking forward to my new journey in Jhalak … But the fact is that I had not signed Jhalak when the news came out in the media. But the makers felt that I did not inform them before giving the nod to the dance reality show. I can understand their view that I should have taken their permission or consulted them before considering Jhalak’s offer….”
The next level adds,
My character Samar has not had to do anything in the show since last one year. After Nandini’s (Anagha Bhosale) character was released, my character had almost nothing to do with it. And then many new characters were introduced in the show and the focus shifted to another new family. I don’t want to be just a family member standing in the background doing nothing on the show. I can understand that you have a track for a few months and then another one comes into focus. But I didn’t really grow.”
