There was a no-dating policy for television actors, who had to keep it strictly professional with the cast and crew.
<img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/oct/7hitlist-1.jpg" alt="" />
But, now, as reported yesterday in hitlist (<a title="Tiger Shroff's 'Munna Michael' co-star Niddhi Agerwal made to sign no dating clause!" href="http://www.mid-day.com/articles/tiger-shroff-niddhi-agerwal-munna-michael-co-star-no-dating-clause-sign-bollywood-news/17664185" target="_blank">Don't you dare date</a>), the dictum has found its way to Bollywood, but in a more sexist form.
Niddhi Agerwal, who debuts in Tiger Shroff-starrer Munna Michael, was made to sign a no-dating clause that extends beyond the limits of the film set. Interestingly, this clause doesn't apply to the lead actor.
We got in touch with a few 'single' actresses from the film and TV world for their point of view.
Amyra Dastur <img title="Amyra Dastur" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/oct/7Amyra-Dastur-1.jpg" alt="Amyra Dastur" /> 'It's a personal choice. Whether I choose to date someone is a decision that only I should have the freedom to make. But I have not heard of any such clause (so far)'
Dipika Kakar <img title="Dipika Kakar" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/oct/7Dipika-Kakar-1.jpg" alt="Dipika Kakar" /> 'I don't think this is right. I understand the clause requires that work should not be hampered or that decency on set be maintained. But, demanding that one shouldn't date at all means that they (producers) are ruling over your lives'
Rashami Desai <img title="Rashami Desai" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/oct/7Rashami-Desai-1.jpg" alt="Rashami Desai" /> 'Love is an emotion and cannot be bound by contracts. Actors are responsible individuals and know where to draw the line'
Priyal Gor <img title="Priyal Gor" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/oct/7Priyal-Gor-1.jpg" alt="Priyal Gor" /> 'It's neither right nor required. If the couple appears to be creating any trouble on the sets, appropriate action can be taken. But, such a clause is futile. People don't listen to their parents when in love, how can a contract stop them from?'
Ridhima Pandit <img title="Ridhima Pandit" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/oct/7Ridhima-Pandit-1.jpg" alt="Ridhima Pandit" /> 'Love transcends all boundaries. Hence, contracts are of no good. If you choose to sign such a clause, it's best to adhere to it. But, love can happen anywhere and anytime'
