Many
TV
actors
recently
came
forward
to
speak
about
the
non-payment
of
their
dues
and
other
financial
inconveniences
as
shoots
were
halted
due
to
the
COVID-19
lockdown.
In
the
same
vein,
Akhlaque
Khan
had
posted
on
social
media
about
Balaji
Telefilms
not
paying
him
for
his
3-day
shoot.
The
actor
has
now
elaborated
and
given
more
clarity
about
the
entire
episode
in
an
interview
with
SpotBoyE.
Akhlaque
said,
"With
my
post
I
am
not
trying
to
defame
anyone.
I
just
shared
an
incident
that
happened
with
me
and
kept
happening
with
the
actors.
So,
around
15
years
back,
I
used
to
be
a
per-day
artist
and
in
Balaji
I
have
done
many
shows
where
I
played
manager,
doctor
and
what
not.
But
at
that
time
for
surviving,
the
money
used
to
be
enough.
And
one
day
when
they
said
that
we
are
taking
you
for
a
supernatural
show
called
Karmic
Connection
starring
Shabir
Ahluwalia
and
you
will
play
his
younger
brother
which
will
be
a
kind
of
parallel
lead,
I
got
extremely
excited.
I
felt
after
so
much
struggle
I
finally
have
something
in
my
hand
now.
I
remember
we
shot
for
3
days
one
day
at
Klick
Nixon
(Andheri)
then
Filmcity
(Goregaon)
but
unfortunately
that
show
didn't
go
on-air
due
to
which
I
didn't
get
my
payment
also.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“My
motive
to
post
this
now
is
just
to
share
how
actors
have
to
struggle
for
their
own
money.
A
lot
of
people
on
my
post
have
shared
their
experiences
now.
In
this
pandemic,
actors
are
struggling
and
I
saw
many
coming
out
in
the
open
to
discuss
it.
Actors
just
don't
deal
with
this
but
also
with
the
90
days
payment
rule.
If
show
doesn't
work
well
and
goes
off
air
producers
ask
them
to
cut
down
the
percentage
and
take
a
settlement
amount.
A
lot
of
people
are
calling
me
to
say
that
Balaji
is
good
at
all
this
and
they
clear
dues
on
time.
But
after
that
show
I
never
got
a
chance
to
work
with
them
so
how
would
I
know?"
