Aashish Mehrotra on Paras Kalnawat’s claims about Anupamaa cast: ‘Sounds really funny’

Today, the position where Anupamaa stands, there can’t be any sort of negative energy behind it, says actor Aashish Mehrotra.

It was last year when actor Paras Kalnawat, who was an integral part of the daily soap Anupamaa left the show. And now, he has made a statement through social media that, “80% of the cast would want to exit if given an opportunity.”

Actor Aashish Mehrotra laughs off Kalnawat’s claims and says there’s no truth in it. “I don’t know what made him say that. It is really funny so I really have no comment on it. Anyone can say anything. If a show’s off screen energy is negative, then it reflects on the show’s quality as well. If you do anything from a negative heart, it will always show in your body language or on your face and even in your work. The set’s vibe is really good. And this statement sounds really funny to me,” says Mehrotra, who plays the role of Paritosh Shah in the popular show.

The 33-year-old rubbishes such remarks and says there’s nothing wrong with the treatment given to the star cast. “The show is made by one of the best production houses in the industry. Regarding their payment and their adjustments, the makers are very cordial and supportive. With any decision, the producers always prioritise the show and can’t make it suffer,” he continues, “Even as artiste ourselves, we don’t want that. And if there’s anything that is in an artiste’s mind, we compromise and sacrifice for the show because we all have to make it together. And today, the positions where Anupamaa stands, there can’t be any sort of negative energy behind it.”
