She shared a post on her Instagram handle where she wrote that her make up man offered to help her out financially. In the post, she wrote, “I don’t have enough money to survive for next month. Because some producer hasn’t given my money, which is due from a long time.”

Now opening about it in details, Sonal told Hindustan Times, “People see us smiling on-screen and think we lead a fabulous life, but that’s not true always.” She revealed that she is yet to get her dues of Rs 12 lakh from a production house for a show that she did last year.

Listing down her expenses, the actress said, “My earnings run my house. My mother is a homemaker, and father is a heart patient. His medicine costs are there. We had bought a house, and we have to pay the EMIs. Since that house is quite far, we’ve been living on rent so that my work doesn’t get affected. I’ve to pay that rent, plus daily needs.”

“Yet for over eight months, I’ve not received my payments. The production house isn’t responding to my calls and messages, and the last payment of Rs 25,000 was received around mid-April,” she added.

Currently, her ‘Shastri Sisters’ co-actor Neelu Kohli, who is a part of CINTAA, is supporting her financially.

When asked if other actors from her show are also facing the same problems, she said, “Yes, but not everyone’s keen to speak up. They are scared of losing out on work. We shouldn’t think of working with people who have this habit of not paying dues on time.”

Well, we wish Sonal gets her pending payment soon.
