A
number
of
actors
and
technicians
from
the
television
industry,
in
the
past
few
days,
have
come
forward
to
state
that
their
producers
haven’t
paid
them
for
their
work.
In
the
same
vein,
Abhinav
Shukla,
who
had
dragged
the
makers
of
his
show,
Silsila
Badalte
Rishton
Ka
over
non-payment
of
dues
has
revealed
that
he
is
still
waiting
for
his
hard-earned
money
for
over
two
years
now.
Abhinav
told
SpotBoyE,
"The
worse
feeling
in
the
world
is
begging
for
something
which
one
has
earned.
It's
a
fact
that
in
our
industry
one
has
to
work
very
hard
to
survive
and
work
even
harder
to
get
the
payment
of
that
hard
work.
I
have
fortunately
worked
with
one
of
the
best
production
houses
in
Mumbai
who’s
professionalism
and
conduct
was
inspiring.
But
I
also
have
worked
with
a
few
who
have
shook
my
belief
in
ethics
and
professionalism."
He
went
on
to
add,
"Unfortunately
many
actors,
who
are
living
hand
to
mouth,
can't
afford
a
delay
in
payments.
They
have
to
pay
the
bills,
rent,
EMI’s
and
have
to
maintain
a
standard
of
living,
which
is
demanding.
Hence,
once
their
payment
is
delayed
they
go
into
desperation
and
many
resort
to
social
media
shaming,
few
get
rough
and
unruly
and
that
gives
an
excuse
to
the
employer
not
to
pay
the
actor
on
moral
and
legal
grounds.
An
actor
or
person
who
is
already
professionally
and
emotionally
hurt
is
now
stuck
in
a
double
whammy."
Abhinav
concluded
by
stating
that
many
actors
are
discouraged
from
taking
the
legal
route
as
it’s
a
lengthy
process,
hence
leaving
them
with
no
option
but
to
accept
any
negotiated
amount
that’s
offered
by
the
employer.
