The Coronavirus has been spreading like wildfire all around the world. The lockdown imposed because of the pandemic has bought everyone to halt especially on the work front. The television industry has also been suffering on the financial front due to the lack of work. Recently, ‘Saath Nibhaana Saathiya’ actress Vandana Vithlani succumbs to selling Rakhis amidst financial struggles.
According to a report by Times of India, she said, “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.”

She added, “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.”
Well, we hope Vandana can sail through this pandemic. Will some superstar come to the aid of the actress?
