I am going through tough times and last one and a half year was not at all easy for me. I am depressed, anxious and cried my heart out when I was alone. It all started when I started doing my last show ‘Shubh Shagun’ for Dangal TV. That was the worst decision of my life. I never wanted to do it but I listened to others and signed the contract.
The production house and the producer @kundan.singh.official has harassed me so many times. They even once Locked me in my makeup room bcz I was unwell and I decided not to shoot bcz they were not paying me for my work plus I was unwell, they were banging my makeup room’s door as it they will break it, when I was changing my clothes. They never cleared my payments till date for 5 months and its a really big amount. I have been to the production house and Dangal office but they never entertained me. Also was given dhamki many times. I felt unsafe, broken and scared throughout.”
She further added, “I feel unsafe. I asked for help from so many people but nothing. Nobody could do anything about it. People ask me why I am not doing any show? This is the reason. I am scared what if the same thing happen again? I need justice.”
She captioned the post – “My hands are still shivering while writing this but I had to. I am suffering from Anxiety and Depression bcz of this. We hide our emotions and show the brighter side on social media. But this is the Reality. My family was asking me not to post bcz they are still scared what if these people harm you? But why should I be scared ? This is my right and I need justice. @kundan.singh.official.”
