Saath Nibhana Saathiya's Vandana Vithlani Suffers Financial Crisis; Sells Rakhis To Make Money
Saath Nibhana Saathiya actress Vandana Vithlani, who was seen in Hamari Bahu Silk as Janki Joshi, is suffering from financial crunch due to pending dues and no-work phase. The actress revealed that she is selling customised rakhis online to make money as her savings have exhausted.
While
talking
to
TOI,
Vandana
revealed
that
she
shot
from
May
to
October
2019,
but
was
paid
only
for
a
month.
Her
dues
run
into
lakhs
of
rupees.
She
had
also
shot
for
another
show,
which
shut
down
in
two
months.
The
actress
said
that
she
auditioned
for
shows
in
January,
but
everything
has
come
to
a
standstill
due
to
the
pandemic
and
lockdown.
Vandana was quoted by TOI as saying, "I shot from May to October 2019, but have been paid only for the month of May. My dues run into lakhs of rupees. It's been more than a year without any payment and I have exhausted all my savings. I had bagged a role in 'Musakaan' in November 2019, but it shut down in two months. I was paid for that show, but how long would it last? I have now started making rakhis and selling them online to keep myself engaged and also make some money. Obviously, I am not earning much, but anything is good at this point."
The actress further added that even her husband is out of work and their finances have taken a hit. The actress said, "My husband, Vipul, is a theatre artiste, and he, too, is out of work owing to the pandemic. I had auditioned for shows in January, but everything came to a standstill. Our finances have taken a hit. We also have to manage our children's school and college fees. I am just waiting for some project to come my way."
It has to be recalled that the cast and crew of Hamari Bahu Silk have been fighting for their outstanding dues. Zaan Khan, the lead actor of the show, had revealed to the leading daily that they have been requesting the makers to clear their dues since past five-six months, but in vain. He also revealed that they have stopped taking our calls.
