THE TIMES OF INDIA
Ravi is upset
3 Sep 2008, 0000 hrs IST, SMITA ROY ,TNN
Nineteen-year-old Ravi Bhatia is all over
news channels past few days.
This small town boy has dashed off a legal notice to the makers of
Dadagiri. He’s upset with what happened on the reality show.
Reality shows may have their fixed scripts and sensational turn of
events, but Ravi is in no mood to take things lying down.
“This incident occurred four months ago. The participants of the
show had to pass through the litmus test of abuses and spats. And
it was all scripted! We were all given our parts where 70 per cent
was to be said as is and 30 per cent would be improvisations,” says
Ravi. “There was this girl called Isha opposite me who was supposed
to abuse me and I was to retaliate, but calmly. After a while when
it came to improvisations, I presume she was out of words and came
and slapped me hard. I was shocked and in the heat of the moment, I
slapped her back. That led to the entire unit of about 70 people
jumping on me beating me black and blue. It was a miracle in itself
that I managed to escape from there,” he says.
So how did this incident get flashed in the media now? “Luckily for
me, somehow the tapes got leaked out and they were being shown on
all the channels. I got myself a copy from one of the news channels
and was happy that finally I acquired the proof to support me. And
this time I will not be quiet. Just because they have power, it
doesn’t give them the licence to pull down people. I have sent a
legal notice to the producers and asked for an apology publicly for
defamation,” avers Ravi, who is currently working in Ekta Kapoor’s
Kahaani Humare Mahaabharat Ki on 9X.
