Twinkle sacked as Laxmi in Zee serial

Here is some sensational news for you… Twinkle Bajpai, aka Laxmi of Ghar Ki Lakshmi… Betiyan, has been sacked from the serial because of her erratic behaviour.

The bubbly actress, who was supposedly the heart and soul of the show, was asked to leave because the rest of the cast were annoyed by her attitude. She was also termed as being unprofessional and having no work ethics. Sanghamitra Panigrahi, creative head of the show, says, “Twinkle has been behaving in a very unprofessional manner. She would not give enough time to the show and the shoot was held up. She had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude and her equation with the rest of the co-stars was getting affected. The quality of the show was suffering. Also, we have suffered financial losses. We had no option but to scout for a replacement. We are scared to experiment with her any longer. Our show is the top priority for us and it is not dependent only on one person.”

Twinkle has lashed back at the Zee serial team, saying, “I have been blamed d for not giving enough time to the show and walking out of the sets, but it is untrue. Apart from 14 hours on my scheduled days, I give 8 hours extra on my non-blocked days. In the past six month I have taken only five days off, I’ve not been able to go to Lucknow, (my hometown) for Holi. I have not been able to appear for my BA final exams. This is a thankless job. I’m neglecting my health and I keep falling sick and hospitalised because of the stress. In spite of me putting in extra hours they blame me for all the delay. I can’t take it anymore. It’s ok if I’m replaced by someone else.”

Gunjan Walia, who had earlier starred in the now axed Sindoor, is to be her replacement.

Your thoughts on this sensational piece of news… do you believe that serial characters should continue after an actor is sacked or leaves… or should the character be killed of or sent away? How about Twinkle… should actresses that hold up shooting be sacked and replaced… who is at fault here… is it Twinkle… or the producers? Please use the comments section below for your feedback.

  1. This is absolutely UNFAIR with this talented artist. Actually she was the heart and soul of the show, this show is popular 90% only becasue of her. Zee should reconcider it, and guess what she didn’t appear in BA exam, her health suffered no Holi, too much she suffere, and after six months ZEE has awoken all of sudden that she is not good. We don’t like ZEE’s SACK….

  3. I agree..Twinkle was definitely the heart of the show. Zee should reconsider because her replacement is not nearly as talented as her.

  7. I turned the TV on to watch Betiyan and discover laxmi has been changed with an unfimiliar face. I feel Zee TV has lost an important part of their team. You would think being a corproate giant like ZEE TV would expect stars to make demands for higher compensation. An actress such a twinkle was a very important asset to ZEE TV and carried the show through many tough roles. It’s a true shame that ZEE TV can just write some one off as talented as twinkle for a few extra dollars at the stake of losing tremendious ratings and viewers. I will not be watching this show again. Thank you.

  9. it is unfair to eliminate laxmi.bcause of her only we are seeing the show .it is inhuman to use stars beyond their capacity .zee t.v should consider personal life of actors and their obligations.zee t.v. is not the only world for any actor.

  11. We only watched it b/c of twinkle, the replacement can’t put the energy in the character as twinkle did, she is too docile…and not even close to the upright and jhansi kee rani image very aptly portrayed by twinkle… bring her back otherwise the show will loose its viewers and charm.

  17. I have stopped watching this serial just because Twinkles not there i live in the USA n squeeze in time to see a few serial n this was 1of my favorites both d actress and the producers of the show have behaved in such an immature manner no offence to the new girl who has come in but shes no where even close to the character of lakshmi which itself took a lot of time to build up in the serial,
    Many of my friends and family who were a regular at watching this serial have discontinued, watever the matter is they are professionals and they should know to solve it then to just jump to such hard conclusions we are away from India and this affects us in a manner which you might never even come close to understanding and then all the serials and channels have this problem you people prooved it that you are no less then EktaKapoor.

  21. Bad mistake, Twinkle rocked the show was successful because of her. Noone can play her character the way she did. Replacing smaller actresses like Gauri was acceptable. her part was smaller. How much more time did they want Twinkle to give. Well, Twinkle made the right decison for herself.
    Zee will repent thier decision in time.

  22. Anju on May 2nd, 2008 at 1:04 pm
  23. We want twinkle back.
    She was great.
    The new actress can’t bring up the role well. It doesn’t suit Gunjan Walia.
    WE want twinkle back.
    WE want our jhansi kee rani bck!
