Kriti Sanon stands up for unpaid staff members of ‘Hamari Bahu Silk’

Kriti Sanon has urged CINTAA to step in and help staff members of ZEE TV’s show ‘Hamari Bahu Silk’, who have claimed that they have not been paid.

In a video shared on Sanon’s social media, a crew member of the show requested the producer to pay the cast and crew their rightful dues. Along with the video, Sanon shared the following message, This is terrible!! This is just one incident that i know of because a friend of mine has worked in this daily soap: Humari Bahu Silk..

The lead of the show, Zaan Khan, who played Naksh Parekh, was one of the first to speak out about the non-payment. He told PinkVilla, “Before the lockdown, they were all pushing the burden on each other. They were just procrastinating and just filling us with excuses. Now, Devyani is offering us 40% of the amount we own. She claims to be running in losses and is not capable to pay the entire amount. On the other hand, Jyoti Gupta is not even ready to pay 10% of the amount. He is carefree and is not afraid of any police complaint. He added, “Do what you want to do, complain to CINTAA, lodge an FIR, or go to the media, I’m not afraid of anyone.”

Asked why they did not go legal prior to this, Khan said, “They used to give us false hopes that they will be repaid in a month, and it went on and on. At first, we all kept our calm, but they started threatening us with ‘Do whatever you can,’ we understood their actual intentions. It is then that our patience broke and we started pressurizing them for giving us our hard-earned money.”

‘Hamari Bahu Silk’ ended its run on ZEE TV last summer.
