A source says, “Shahid had agreed to come on Honey’s show. It was decided that Shraddha, Shahid and Vishal Bharadwaj will be on the show and a few things had been planned accordingly. But three days ago, he told us that he won’t be able to attend the shoot because of some personal reason.”

A unit member says that on the day of the shoot, the cameras were supposed to roll at 3.30pm but things got delayed. “Vishal joined the shoot at 6pm and Shraddha reached only at 8.30pm, by which time we had finished shooting for half the show. She did not speak to the media either, but she made up for her delay by singing a song and interacting personally with everyone. What was surprising was that Shahid was absent despite the fact that he had shot for another reality show on the same day in the morning.”

Shahid’s spokesperson said, “The film’s marketing team has been in touch with the team from Honey’s reality show. It was a strategic decision to not have both actors on the show.”

On the other hand, Shraddha’s spokesperson said that since shooting for an earlier TV show got over late, the shoot for Honey’s show too was delayed. “Shraddha simply followed the marketing team’s instructions,” said the spokesperson.
