"We called her and told her we can't offer you this kind of money. So obviously we didn't have that kind of budget," Sinha said.

We had discussed money part and she was given a good raise but, the hike she asked for was unprecedented. "The discussion was done May end and since she was happy with the offer, she continued with the show. We had a chat with her and we agreed upon certain amount of money," Sinha told IANS.Īs the amount demanded by Sonarika didn't go down well with the producer, both parties decided to call it quits. "Eventually she didn't want to continue for whatever reasons. When contacted, Sinha said that Sonarika did put down her papers three months back.īut added that "her contract was initially for two years and there was no exit clause". A dance reality show would also work as she loves dancing. She won't mind taking up TV assignments as long as they are interesting, but her focus right now is films. Post the incident, she is neither bitter, nor does she hold any grudge against the show producer or the channel. Now, I have fringes, which I really wanted," said Sonarika. The first thing I did after I got the news was visit a spa and then get a new hair cut. When I was acting as Parvati, I didn't get my hair cut for a year. "I feel happy as somewhere down the line I wanted to quit. Now she has got a new hair cut and she is spending time with her family and friends. The termination mail and replacement news came as a shock for the 20-year-old, but she got over it soon. When I woke up, my staff called me and said there was a new girl on the set who had started shooting," she added. "On July 7 late night, I got a termination mail. I was asked to take a decision whether to continue with the show or not. I felt cheated because they told me at the last moment. "He told me that whatever amount was decided, I can't give that much as it's out of budget. One day she got a call from the head of production saying that the amount that was decided earlier is out of their budget. Hence, I told the media that I am playing Parvati," said Sonarika, who played the character for more than a year. As far as I know, Pooja (Bose) was to play Sita, so I was very confident about it. "When I approached them (producers about the rumours), they asked me to chill. While she had been promised a hike, there were rumours that Nikhil Sinha, producer and series director, was planning to replace her with another actress. They were willing to give me a good amount of money, so I continued shooting," she added. We narrowed down to one thing that is monetary matter. "But then I had a talk with the head of production.
