The Maharashtra
bandh has not only affected public transport, commercial establishments,
offices and schools but also the glamour industry. As of this afternoon, many
shoots have come to a grinding halt.
Protestors Outside Film City In Goregaon
The state-wide bandh called by Dalit groups affected the
television industry with some shoots being disrupted and others being cancelled
as a precautionary measure.
Shoots of shows like Kundali Bhagya, Aisi Deewangi Dekhi Nahi Kahi, aired
on Zee TV channel, were affected in Andheri
and Jogeshwari respectively.
Kundali Bhagya
"There is
major disruption near Kundali Bhagya sets. Everything is shut and there is
stone pelting (happening). None of us are able to shoot and we are locked
inside our vanity vans. We just hope the situation gets better soon,"
actor Manit Joura told PTI.
Lead actress of Kundali
Bhagya, Shraddha took to her Instagram, to share details with her fans…

The team of the
popular Zee TV show Piyaa Albela altered their shoot timings
from 9am to 5pm to tide over the
disruption.
"Shoots of
Star Plus' shows like Naamkarann, Ikyawann, Rishton Ka Chakravyuh were cancelled
while shooting for the show Dil Sambhal Jaa Zara was wrapped early due to the
incidents happening in the city," sources from Star Plus channel told
PTI.
Shoot of Mithun
Chakraborty's Dance India Dance, Voice India Kids, Bhabi Ji
Ghar Pe Hai! and few others however went on smoothly.
Producers of the
show Ishqbaaz starring Nakuul Mehta and Surbhi Chandna that is shot at Madh
Island were supposed to commence shoot at 2pm. However, they called it
off.
Shoot of Sasural
Simar Ka, that has its set on Mira Road, has also been disrupted. A few actors
from the show had reached the set this morning, however, they were asked to
head back home.
Yeh Hai Mohabbatein
Shoot of Divyanka
Tripathi’s Ye Hai Mohbbatien was also called off.
Inside Goregaon
Film City, Udaan and Namkaran commenced shoot at 7 am.
Since no one is allowed entry inside Film City, the TV actors who have wrapped up shoot, are now trapped inside. Getting out is a challenge for them as there is
major blockade outside the Film City gates.
TV actors took to
their social media handles to share their views on the bandh and elaborate on
how it is affecting their lives…
