Disgruntled Ashiesh Roy walks out of 'Adaa'


Sahara One's Adaa which started just a month ago, has had its first casualty. Ashiesh Roy is no more doing the show. Precisely put, today is the last day he's shooting for it.


Ashiesh Roy: No hard feelings!

Ashiesh says that he is not happy with the way his role has shaped up. "Deepshikha, Nirmal Pandey and I were narrated that the show was based on the dance academy, and we were supposed to be the three heads. What is happening is that it is turning out to be a youth romance," he rues.

"I signed Adaa to play a 50-year old man, Pinto Gonsalves, because I thought that I would have a good scope to portray my acting potential. It's not happening the way I had thought.I spoke to Ken Ghosh. There are no hard feelings on both sides," he added.

Though Ashiesh doesn't say it directly, his next few words let the cat out of the bag. Seems, the actor is having second thoughts about playing an elderly man.

"Plus, there was one more reason why I took the decision of opting out. Adaa is immediately followed by Prratima, where I I play a young, maverick son-in-law (of Kirron Kher)," Ashiesh quipped.

We called Ken Ghosh for his side of the story. Ghosh had a different story to tell, "Adaa was always goiing to be a
youth-oriented love story. Ashiesh is opting out because he wants to move out of comedy; he wants to concentrate on serious roles in television and films. We have a letter from him in this regard.
And we respect that letter. Ashiesh's exit from Adaa, which is being shot today will be as follows: A producer lands up at the Dance academy to pick up an actor for a role in his film. There is nervousness and tension all round, as aspirants start biting their nails. Climax! The producer picks Pinto Gonsalves!"

Not so long ago, Ashiesh had opted out of another comedy Yes Boss. The latest on this guy is that he has signed Vinta Nanda's next film Soulmate At Any Rate which will be an all-out entertaining love-story starring Koel Purie.
