Sibling rivalry, insecurity, jealousy with Bayttaab actors

Balaji’s new offering Bayttaab Dil Ki Tamanna Hai on Sony has managed to grab attention because of its different story line. The show is two weeks old and the audience is warming up to the show which is based on yesteryears classic film Deewar. The show may be doing well but it is rumoured that all is not well between the lead girls Priyamvada Kant and Sumana Das. Also Sumana Das’s sister Madhumita Das who auditioned for the same role is said to be unhappy that her younger sister has managed to bag the role. Priyamvada signed Bairi Piya and while she was away shooting for the show in Wai she got a call from Balaji saying that she has been selected to play one of the leads in Bayttaab…. as Anupriya Kapoor had quit the show. The shooting began and sources inform that Priyamvada got a little insecure as she felt that Sumana was the one who was getting more importance. Even in the promos it’s Sumana who gets more prominence. The source informs, “Priyamvada got a bit upset about the fact that Sumana was getting more footage and she was ignored. And it took a lot of convincing after which she understood that both of them have equal importance in the show and that both of them play an equally important part”. Priyamvada who is busy with two shows says, “I am damn lucky to bag two major shows at one time and yes I am really enjoying juggling between the two. Hopping between one set to another is real fun and this is something I never expected”. When asked whether she was insecure she said, “No, I am not at all insecure and I love all my co-actors. Actually all this cropped up because Anupriya left the show as she was not happy with the promotion of the show”. She added, “I am very happy with my part and those who have seen the show can make out that both Sumana and I have equal and important parts to play. The show is based on yesteryears flick Deewar where both Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor had equal and important roles to play”. She further adds, “I believe that it’s your role that is important and not the promotions. After two months, the promotional activities slow down and if the show is good viewers remain hooked to it and if the product is bad no promotion can help it. And I am very happy to have such good people working with me and I get along well with everyone”. So Priyamvada seems to be very happy now. We asked Sumana whether there was any sibling rivalry but she dismissed it saying it was untrue. However our source confirms, “Yes, Sumana’s sister Madhumita was a bit disappointed and Sumana was herself heard discussing this”. Sumana says, “This news is completely false and my sister Madhumita is really very happy for me. Yes, even she auditioned for the role but she was not disappointed after I bagged it”. She adds, “Madhumita is doing a show called Bajega Band on DD1 and she has also worked in Chand Ke Paar Chalo. She has also worked with Rishi Kapoor and is more interested in having a career in films. She is not at all unhappy”. As Madhumita is not in town, we could not contact her. All we can say is all’s well that ends well.
