Following a series of high-level meetings, the Artist Forum and Technicians&#8217; Federation have collectively decided to ban the production house \u2018Magic Moments\u2019 until the full truth behind the drowning incident is revealed. This drastic move has led to the abrupt cancellation of the show \u2018Chirosakha,\u2019 with Star Jalsha announcing its final broadcast this Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fallout has triggered a bitter war of words within the industry. Actor Vivaan Ghosh, who played a lead role in \u2018Chirosakha,\u2019 took to Facebook to voice his frustration over the loss of employment, mockingly asking for &#8220;unemployment allowance forms.&#8221; His post was met with severe backlash from fans who accused him of being insensitive to Rahul\u2019s death. One netizen remarked, &#8220;Would you be asking for allowance if this happened to you during the shoot?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining the fray, producer Rana Sarkar delivered a stinging rebuke to Vivaan, stating, &#8220;Stop this drama! If you have talent, find work elsewhere. If you don&#8217;t get a job, realize you were working because of favoritism, not merit.&#8221; While the industry remains split between the pursuit of justice for Rahul and the immediate crisis of lost livelihoods, the ban marks a turning point in Tollywood\u2019s history regarding artist safety and accountability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sudden and tragic demise of actor Rahul Arunoday Banerjee has sent shockwaves through the Bengali television industry, leading to an unprecedented lockdown.
