Recently, actress, Alisha Parveen addressed the speculations about Rupali Ganguly being the reason she was suddenly replaced in the show, 'Anupamaa.'
Anupamaa has dominated the headlines for a while now, but for all the wrong reasons. The show once hailed as the most popular on the small screen, was single-handedly responsible for turning its star, Rupali Ganguly, into TV's most highly paid actress. However, it has recently been plagued by cast members backing out one after another. And longtime viewers couldn't help but wonder what was going on behind the scenes. The most recent departure to grab eyeballs was that of Alisha Parveen, who played 'Raahi,' Rupali's on-screen daughter. Even more shocking was the young actress' revelation that she wasn't aware she would be leaving the show. Alisha has now addressed the speculations about Rupali forcing her exit.
Following the rather unexpected announcement that Alisha Parveen would be leaving Anupamaa, several fans speculated about the reasons for this decision. The young actress' revelation that she was unaware she would be leaving the show fuelled rumours that lead actress, Rupali Ganguly was behind her sudden exit. For the uninitiated, many reports have recently emerged about Rupali not sharing a cordial relationship with many of her Anupamaa co-stars. In fact, some even claim that some cast members chose to leave the show because of the actress' behaviour on set and behind the scenes.
Well, in a recent conversation with India Forums, Alisha Parveen addressed the speculations that Rupali was behind her sudden departure from the show. The actress acknowledged that she had heard the rumours about Rupali's alleged fallout with other stars. However, she stated that she didn't know who was behind the decision to remove her from the show, saying:
"I too have heard of these rumours and know that these things have been linked up with her. I have read about this in the fan messages too. People said ke unhone hi karwaya hai, it's dkp behind it, it's Rupali mam behind it. Exactly kya hai ye main kaise batau ab. Maybe yes, maybe no, I don't know. Maybe nothing."
During the conversation, Alisha Parveen also discussed her equation with her on-screen mother and co-actor, Rupali Ganguly. The actress stated that she didn't know much about Rupali's fallout with other cast members. However, she didn't question the validity of the experiences of the actors who didn't get along with Rupali either.
Speaking about her own dynamic with the Anupamaa star, Alisha stated that they had shared a 'very professional bond.' In fact, the actress claimed that she had tried to be cordial with everyone on set. In Alisha's words:
"I shared a very professional bond with her. Mera bond sabhi ke sath acha tha, not just with her. Sabke sath baith kar khana khana, sabko greet karna, sabse baat karna. But main kisi mein jaake ghusti nahi thi, toh mujhe nahi pata behind the back kya raha hoga mere liye. Main usme itna interest rakhti bhi nahi hu.”
Further in the conversation, Alisha Parveen discussed her time on Anupamaa. She made a sweet but somewhat sad remark about her departure from the show, noting that it felt just as unbelievable as her selection to play 'Raahi' had. The actress further added that her time on the show, albeit short, had been very good. Alisha then continued:
"I learnt a lot during this time, met a lot of people. Whatever happened with me was an experience too. I did not expect so much love from people in such a less time. Ab khatam hogaya toh is chiz k liye bura lagraha hai."
