Manasi Salvi clears the air regarding her exit from Mahadev And Sons, amid contractual issues which has emerged with the makers.

A few months after the launch of Mahadev & Sons, reports stated Manasi Salvi, who plays Bhanu Bajpai, would be exiting the show. While it was believed that the reason had to do with with the number of her working days being reduced, the issue has now spiralled into a contractual issue with the makers.

We reached out to Manasi, the Colors team and Parin Multimedia to understand what exactly had transpired. While we spoke to Manasi, this report shall be updated as and when we receive a reply from the Colors TV team or Parin Multimedia.

According to Manasi, she had sent an email to Saurabh Tewari at Parin Multimedia and to her network head at Colors that she wanted to leave the show by May 15. She received no reply from their end. The reason why she wanted to to leave was because on various occasions the producer had sent her messages and voice notes telling me that the channel doesn't want me or my character, and only he was fighting for it, because of which she got whatever small parts in the episodes. However, she also has messages from the producer, manipulating her to believe that the network does not want her. Manasi said that for seven months she did get manipulated, with her dates not working out at all.

So when she expressed on official email that she would be bowing out of the show on May 15, Manasi was expecting the production house to send her a mail back saying that she was bound by a contract and cannot leave like that. Instead, she got an email saying that ‘It was a pleasure to have you on the show Mahadev and Sons. We will finish your work before May 15. Please collect your contract signed copy by the producer from our office.’ This email was sent to her on April 21.
