In the videos, we can see other co-actors from the show, assistant director, spot boy, cameraman, make-up artist, stylist and others talking about the non-payment of their salary. The actress of the show Kirti Choudhary said, “Our payment has been stopped for almost a year. I hope you understand that we have worked for 7 months, 17 to 18 hours every day even on festivals like Diwali and Rakhi. Our producers and channel are not helping us. Please help us. We need it. As an actor, I had to leave my Mumbai house because I don't have money to pay rent. I had to return home and seek help from my parents because I am helpless. We used all our savings in travelling to the sets and other expenses."
