Throwing tantrums : Gaurav Chopra (TOI Photo)Now, the channel has replaced him with Sachin Sharma.
Gaurav Chopra has just paid a heavy price for throwing tantrums. The actor, who was doing Jigar Ma Badi Aag Hai, has been ousted from the show at the last moment. And the reason is obviously his unreasonable tantrums! Now, the channel has replaced him with Sachin Sharma.
Jigar Ma Badi Aag Hai marks the return of the famous on-screen couple of Neena Gupta and Kanwaljeet.The show is a comedy and Gaurav was playing an important role in it.
Says a source, When Gaurav signed the show, he did not have any problems with the show. It was just a day before the shooting, when the creative team had a meeting with Gaurav. Suddenly, he started acting very weird.

He had numerous problems with the script and wanted it to be re-written. He could not stand the fact that Neena Gupta has a prominent role. It was really funny watching Gaurav fight over the issue of Neena’s screen space and he in fact wanted Neena’s lines changed.
Needless to say, Gaurav’s unreasonable behaviour did not go down well with the creative team. Next, Gaurav started complaining about his pay packet. Being an actor, one should not interfere with the job of creative team. It’s not an actor’s job to decide what is the script should be. Coming to his pay packet, we were giving him more than his market price.
So, the channel has shown him the door in no time. Sachin Sharma was obviously happy with the role and he settled for lesser money than Gaurav, adds our source.
Gaurav, when contacted also confirms the news. I was supposed to do it, but I could not manage it, he explains.
