Santo to be replaced in Bandini?

Balaji’s Bandini is one of the driver shows of NDTV Imagine. The show has been lauded for its strong storyline and impressive power-packed performances by the likes of Rasika Joshi and Ronit Roy. Everything was running in favour of the show and its cast until now. Our sources inform us that Santo, the protagonist of Bandini in all likelihood may be replaced. Informs a source, “Asiya Qazi who essays the role of Santo will be replaced from the show. Four girls of the same age-group as that of Asiya have been approached by the production house for the look-test. The new lead will be finalised in a couple of days. Apparently, Asiya used to throw her weight on the sets. She is neither accommodating nor co-operative. She creates unnecessary hassles for the production house when it comes to giving adequate time for the shoot.” When contacted Asiya Qazi gave us her version to the story. She said, “ this is not true at all I am neither throwing tantrums nor am I demanding any off”. When contacted, a rather surprised Creative Director of the show Sandiip Sikcand rubbished the news. We sent a text message to Ekta Kapoor, Producer and Creative head, Balaji Telefilms, but she didn’t revert. Keep watching this space for more developments on this.
