The
television
industry
has
incurred
huge
financial
losses
due
to
coronavirus
pandemic.
A
number
of
TV
shows
had
to
shut
shop
as
broadcasters
and
producers
tried
staying
afloat.
But
after
almost
four
months,
all
TV
shoots
resumed
after
receiving
a
nod
from
the
government
with
a
bunch
of
guidelines
and
directives
in
place.
Actor
Sharad
Malhotra
who
recently
made
his
grand
return
to
TV
in
Ekta
Kapoor’s
supernatural
show
Naagin
5
alongside
Surbhi
Chandna
and
Mohit
Sehgal
shared
his
thoughts
on
actors
and
technicians
taking
pay
cuts
to
support
the
makers
and
uplift
one
another
amid
the
ongoing
COVID-19
crisis.
Sharad
told
the
Times
of
India,
"I
am
someone
who
likes
to
speak
his
mind.
A
lot
of
time
it
creates
controversy,
but
I
won't
shy
away
from
commenting
on
this
important
topic.
I
feel
it
is
a
very
testing
time
for
everyone.
Be
it
a
producer,
channel,
actor
or
any
technicians,
it
is
very
difficult
for
everyone.
We
all
have
to
agree
and
come
to
a
common
point
if
the
producer
is
facing
any
kind
of
issues
as
actors
and
technicians
we
need
to
understand.
He
went
on
to
add,
"I
have
always
said
that
if
there's
anything
that
I
can
do
to
help,
my
producer
I
will.
Because
at
the
moment
everybody
like
I
said,
we
need
to
help
each
other.
It's
a
period
when
we
have
to
help
each
other.
So,
yes
I've
done
that.
I
have
reworked
on
my
price
and
It's
not
just
me
everybody,
even
the
technicians,
everyone
has
come
together
as
a
family.
We
have
stuck
together
and
there
for
each
other."
