Speaking about the same, the actress shared, “If you go to see, everyone was stuck in the initial few months. I did not receive payments so I could not do payments. So, that is the case with everyone else because nobody was receiving payments to give. I also had to make a few payments too but I was not able to because I had no funds. That was the same case with producers, they did not have it initially but once they had, they gave us.”

Reports of non-payment dues of television crew and leading actors made handlines recently. This controversy of non-cleared dues sparked off when the cast and crew of Hamari Bahu Silk opened up about the problem and asked for help.
