Rajan Shahi dismisses rumours of having a no-dating clause in the contract

He told ABP, “When both the actors were terminated we had shared an official press release that mentioned everything, so there was no need for me to go into details further. However, a lot of speculations started coming in then, the most recent one being that I have added a clause that actors cannot date or fall in love on set. The media has verified it with me and knows it’s not true, still, they ask this from others. Shehzada and Pratiksha’s incident is black and white, but I need to clear the air about this dating clause.”

Rajan Shahi further added, “The most stupid person can think of a clause like this. Actors cannot date or fall in love with each other is that even a rule? Is there a dictatorship going on? On my set people have fallen in love, even on Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actors have gotten married, Lata Sabharwal and Sanjeev Seth, and even Dheeraj Dhoopar and Vinny Arora met on my sets. My company and I strongly believe that falling in love is very natural, I will be the first one to congratulate if anyone falls in love on my sets. The only thing is that once you step out of the set, your personal life begins, what you want to do then is up to you, just that your work shouldn’t get affected.”

In continuation, he also said, “I will change my name if you show me this clause even in one of my contracts. Being professional doesn’t mean you cannot be in a relationship, you just need to make sure that the unit is not affected by the phase you are going through on the personal front.”

Rajan Shahi on Shehzada Dhami misbehavior

Rajan Shahi also recalled the time Shehzada Dhami misbehaved on sets. He shared, “There was an incident on an outdoor shoot where that actor misbehaved with the unit and I did not like that attitude. That night I sat with all the actors and explained to them for three hours. I had even spoken to the channel that night and they told me to replace him right there, that attitude looked wrong right from the start. But the next day it looked okay, however over time it kept changing. On my set, even the senior actors keep so much humility. With him there was a star attitude, you cannot demand respect, you have to command it.”
