Apparently, all’s not well between co-stars Aman Verma and model-turned-actress Jesse Randhawa. The two, who star in Hum Ne Li Hai Shapath, are said not to get along with each other. Says a crewmember, “Things have hardly been good between the two. Right from the time Jesse joined the cast, Aman didn’t interact much with her. Initially, we thought that things would improve in the due course of time but it turns out that their equation has not really changed. Aman has now asked the makers if he can shoot his scenes with her body double. Whenever she is ready for their shot, he take his own time to come to the sets; he keeps her and the rest of the unit waiting. Jesse too doesn’t prefer talking to him and she has stayed away from him.”

Sources say that Aman is upset because of the importance being given to her, both onscreen and offscreen. “Aman has been a part of the show for a long time now. His role as a cop has been well accepted but now that Jesse has entered the show, her character is assuming quite a lot importance. A few days ago, both of them were supposed to do a crucial sequence, but Aman refused to come on the sets and the shoot was interrupted for nearly five hours. Finally, we managed to convince him to shoot.” Aman was unavailable for comment, while Jesse denied the story.
