Controversy

Paras Kalnawat’s contract with the makers of Anupamaa was terminated after he signed the celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 10 on a rival channel without their permission in July 2022. The show’s producer Rajan Shahi said in a statement,

We as a production house won’t entertain breach of contract. We have terminated his services as an actor with immediate effect. We wish him all the best for his future endeavors.”

While reacting to this, Paras claimed that by the time the makers of Anupamaa terminated his contract, he had not signed Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 10. Paras said,

I am looking forward to my new journey on Jhalak … But the fact is that I hadn’t signed Jhalak when the news came out in the media. But the makers felt that I did not inform them before giving a nod to the dance reality show. I can understand their point of view that I should have taken their permission or consulted them before considering the Jhalak… offer.”

Paras further added,

My character Samar was not having to do anything in the show since the past one year. After Nandini’s (Anagha Bhosale) character exited, my character hardly had anything to do. And then many new characters were introduced in the show and the focus shifted to another new family. I did not want to be reduced to just a family member standing in the background doing nothing on the show. I can understand that you have a track for a few months and then others come into focus. But I wasn’t really growing.”
