In the past few months, there have been many a speculations surrounding the Zee TV show Banoo Main Teri Dulhann – be it the future of the show or its lead actors. The current buzz from the Dulhann stable is that lead actress Divyanka Tripathy will soon be shown the exit door.
Says a source, “Divyanka’s decision to anchor 9X’s reality show Jalwa 4 2 ka 1 has not gone down too well with Zee. Besides, it’s also buzzed that she’s got other lucrative offers as well. As a result, Divyanka will be shown the exit door. Aneesha Kapoor, who’s stepped into the show as Gauri, will be the new protagonist and Amar’s (Sharad Malhotra) new love interest. Presently, we’re just working on how to bring an end to Divyanka’s character.”
Producer Shyam Bhattacharya of Shakuntalam films though rubbished this news. “There’s no truth in these tales. Divyanka is our heroine and there’s no way that we can do without her. With regards to Gauri being Amar’s new love interest, well after completing over 600 episodes, you definitely need to have a new track. Divyanka will continue to be part of the new track. As for Divyanka’s other offers, I wasn’t even aware that she’s hosting Jalwa.”
When contacted, Divyanka seemed unperturbed by such news. “As of now, I haven’t received any such information from the channel or the production house. I’ve always maintained that if my ouster is in the interest of the show then I’ll readily accept it. I believe in karma and do not worry about the results.”
Defending her decision to take Jalwa, Divyanka says, “I’m not the first actor from Dulhann to take part in reality shows. Currently, we have Mohit Malik dancing in Nach Baliye 4 and Kamya Punjabi had earlier participated in Comedy Circus 2 and Kaante Ki Takkar. I don’t think any one of them was asked to leave the show. In fact, Kamya used to give two days in a week for reality shows.”
When asked whether she has other offers, the bubbly actress chose to say this, “All, I can tell you is that even if I’m out of Dulhann, there certainly won’t be a dearth of offers for me.”
Zee TV programming head Ajay Bhalwankar remained unavailable for comment.
