Article--Bye Bye Maasi

S he came, she saw, she solved problems.. created some and now she's off. Smriti Iraani, who plays Vrinda Maasi on Teen Bahuraniyaan, is ready to say goodbye. Hemal Thakkar, producer, asserts that Iraani isn't quitting the show. She will be back after a break. He says that this track has ended. "The TRPs of Teen Bahuraniyaan have gone up since Smriti's entry," he says. Won't they dip again with her exit? Thakkar doesn't think so, since the storyline, he promises, will keep viewers engaged. Equally important What about the other actresses on the show who report- edly felt slighted after Iraani's entry? The producer insists that these are baseless because every character had her own importance. On Manava Naik's exit, Thakkar says that the char- acter was developing really well and wasn't sidetracked following Iraani's introduction.
