Sarwar Ahuja axed from Punar Vivah

Sarwar Ahuja had been a face unearthed by Zee TV from their reality show Zee Cinestars Ki Khoj. Sarwar went on to play the title role in Zee TV’s Keshav Pandit, and then bagged the role of Prashant in the ongoing show, Punar Vivah produced by Shashi Summet Mittal Productions Pvt Ltd. We now hear that Sarwar has apparently got into the bad books of the channel, and has been axed from Punar Vivah. The reason apparently is that even when he was under a contract with Zee TV, the actor went ahead and signed an exclusive contract with Life OK, where he plays a significant role in Fireworks’ Productions’ Hum Ne Li Hai… Shapath. Our source said that Sarwar was upset with the fact that his dates were blocked for Punar Vivah while he was required to shoot only for four days in a month. We get to understand that Sarwar without informing the makers of Punar Vivah signed an exclusive contract for Shapath, which ultimately made him unavailable for the former show. Hence, Zee had to take this major step. While this is one side of the story, yet another source told us that when Sarwar bagged the role in Shapath, he had given an advance notice to the Punar Vivah team. At one point of time, he was in fact shooting for Punar Vivah as well as Shapath. We tried calling Sarwar Ahuja to get his side of the story, but he remained unavailable. OOur efforts to get in touch with Producer of Punar Vivaah, Sumeet Mittal were futile. However, a source from Zee TV confirmed that Sarwar has been axed from Punar Vivah, and that whenever the track demands, a new guy will be roped in for the role of Prashant...
