“Artists aren’t slaves”, Divyanka Tripathi LASHES out at CINTAA

New Delhi: Television Industry’s popular ‘bahu’ Divyanka Tripathi who is seen Yeh Hai Mohabbatein as Ishita has raised her concern for the TV actors and actresses who face sexual harassment on the sets. Divyanka who is soft spoken, lost her cool yesterday. She wrote on twitter “Are character or new artists slaves? Why are they ill treated on television sets? Jaago #CINTAA Jaago!” Actress’ this tweet depicts that this is a wakeup call for CINTAA, an association meant to protect the rights of TV artists. Actually, this tweet came after TV actress Sameksha Singh supported Shilpa Shinde against 'Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai' producers - Binaifer and Sanjay Kohli. Few days ago Shilpa Shinde filed a complaint against producers - Binaifer and Sanjay Kohli accusing him of sexual harassment. Shilpa said in media “I have been mentally tortured by the producer couple. I was also sexually harassed — Sanjay would often ask me to accompany him on promotional tours and say that I looked hot and beautiful. I shared my grievance with his wife Binaifer, but she didn't act on it. Instead, I was labelled unprofessional. They claimed that I wanted to quit the show over an ill-fit blouse; tell me, who does that? I never wanted to quit the show, but was forced to work on their terms. However, I was replaced overnight after I refused to bow down. They slapped a case on me for causing them damages amounting to `12.5 crore. It's been a year since I exited the show, but the torture continues. They even dissuaded others who approached me for work. They still have to clear my dues, which amount to `32 lakh." Well, Divyanka’s this step to warn CINTAA is appreciable. Currently, she is seen in Nach Baliye 8 with Vivek Dahiya.
