Vrushika ‘Ishana’ Mehta’s track to take a ‘back seat’ in Ishqbaaaz; read for details

Star Plus’ Ishqbaaaz, produced by 4 Lions Films will go through a revamp when it comes to the track related to Ishana, essayed by actress Vrushika Mehta. As we know, Ishana’s character is paired opposite Omkara, essayed by Kunal Jaisingh.

Why? What prompted this change?

Well, the inside scoop that we have got is that the Ishqbaaaz team and the research team are apparently unhappy with the Ishana track, and are into a phase of ‘rethinking’ as to how the track should progress now.

Yes, it only means that Vrushika Mehta will be on a ‘break’ from the show, till the time the creative think-tank figure out a different track.

A credible source tells us, “The research has shown people being unhappy with the Ishana track and ratings in fact showing a low point in the episode when her scenes come. So for the moment, the team has decided to take a break from that track and focus more on Omkara (Kunal Jaisingh) and Ridhima’s (Shireena Sambyal) breakup instead of the Ishaana track.”

Well, while the ‘research’ theory seems to be the plausible reason for the Ishana track taking a back seat, sources confide in us that the Ishqbaaaz team is also apparently irritated with the way Vrushika’s fans have spread negativity around!!

Aww!! That’s some startling truth…

Our source further explains, “The behaviour of the Vrushika fans is something unimaginable. They harass the writers and creative team online on Twitter and on Instagram, and this is indeed unpardonable. They get harrowed by the flow of indecent comments coming in. Above all, it is not possible to expect any decorum from people who hide behind anonymity and cross all lines of decency. So this step has been taken to keep them away from all this bizarre behavior.”

OMG!!

Also, we hear that the mood in the Ishqbaaaz team continues to be upbeat, as they do not fear any drop in ratings, for the simple fact that the online fan fraternity does not even contribute to 2% or 3% when compared to the 8.5 million people who watched the opening episode of Ishqbaaaz.

With this bit of information, we buzzed Producer Gul Khan who replied via a text saying, “For us, this track needs rethinking. Also the online communication of Vrushika fans adds to a lot of negativity to the whole process. They abuse my writers and abuse the character of Ridhima. I would like to keep this kind of behavior away from the show right now. Yes, for the time-being, we are definitely taking a break from the Ishana track. And I am not sure what we will decide after this. We just want to keep away all the negativity for now, and this kind of unclassy behavior of abusing writers and creatives. At the same time, personally I think Vrushika is a very sweet girl and there is no complaint from our end on her capabilities or professionalism. This is just a creative call.”

Point taken!!

We also hear that actress Vrushika Mehta has been subtly notified by the channel and production house of her track being on a break.

We also found it apt to buzz Vrushika to know her thoughts on the same. The pretty and confident girl did not deny our query and went on to reply, “The director and creatives are the captains of the ship. They know it better than anyone. I am a Director’s actor and have complete trust on their judgement. I am sure they have something great in mind. I don’t know what you have heard is true or not, but I have trust on the show and as I said, the director and creatives are the most important people, so whatever will be the outcome, it will be great. I have full faith on them. (smiley)”

Indeed, a case wherein the actor has to face the ‘wrath’ of the over-indulgence (to an extent of creating hooliganism) coming from her fan base!!
