You will never see a show where Deepika Singh and Anas
will share screen space on Indian television hereafter. That's what our source
from Star Plus says, and then adds, "Deepika and Anas were at loggerheads
for the last 2 years, and never spoke to each other after the slapping
incident."
For those who've come in late, Deepika had felt during an intimate scene with
Anas that he touched her inappropriately. After a few minutes, Deepika had
slapped Anas in front of the whole unit.

The story goes that Anas had forgotten his cue and held Deepika from front
instead of behind. She felt that he had touched her inappropriately. After the
shoot, she raised a hue and cry. Reportedly- Anas maintained that he had done
no wrong and abused her, which in turn made the argument so ugly that Deepika
went on to slap him.
So what exactly had happened? Had Anas indeed touched
Deepika in appropriately?
Replies our source, "God alone knows. Deepika had spoken to her show
co-star Kanika Maheshwari at length about the whole incident; we suspect that
Kanika suggested to her that she should slap Anas."

A couple of days after the incident, Deepika had
told a section of the media: "Anas and I are professionals. We had a misunderstanding which we then sorted out as we wouldn't want our
personal differences to reflect onscreen. Whatever we are today, we give full
credit to our character of Sandhya and Sooraj for all the love and affection
from our audience so I would like to tell our fans that we have resolved our
differences."
The truth is that she was lying. Think of it, was she
trying to save the show? "Save? My foot! In fact, we started going
downhill in TRPs right from the day that the slapping fracas happened. Nothing
could have saved it, unless they had talked and resolved their dispute
quickly," our source reasons.
Anas is clear that he has NOT mended bridges between
Deepika and him till today. "We could not resolve our differences, "
he admitted to SpotboyE.com on a phone-call.
Meanwhile, Deepika continues to be at war with
Shashi-Sumeet Productions. We brought you the big story on Sunday (Deepika
Singh NOT been paid Rs 1.14 crore, Refuses To Play Kapil Sharma's Wife, Nov
27) where we told you that the actress has not been paid Rs 1.14 crore for Diya
Baati Aur Hum.
While Anas may never become Deepika's friend again, it
remains to be seen if Deepika can also ever resume her normal equation with
Shashi and Sumeet who have driven her up the wall. Quite a few bad memories for
some people in Diya Baati Aur Hum, eh?
