‘Hamari Bahu Silk’ actor Zaan Khan reveals co-star Chahat Pandey attempted suicide over non-payment of dues

Coronavirus is spreading like wildfire all over the world due to which everyone is stuck at home owing to the lockdown. People are finding it hard to survive amidst the financial crisis. A few days back, actor Manmeet Grewal committed suicide due to depression. And now ‘Hamari Bahu Silk’ actor Zaan Khan revealed that his co-star Chahat Pandey tried to commit suicide due to non-payment of dues by the producers.

According to a report in Pinkvilla, Zaan showed his angst against the producers’ negligence and unethical behaviour towards the crew. He also revealed that due to the producers not paying up on time, Chahat Pandey, who played his on-screen wife Pakhi, tried to commit suicide.

He said, “Chahat had actually attempted to commit suicide, but it was her mother who came to her rescue. Her mother stopped her from taking the drastic step. She has struggled a lot to be an actress, this money means a lot to her. It is the first time that she has earned such a big amount, but to her sheer bad luck, she is deprived of this also. She is the sole earning member in her family, her father is no more, and she has two small brothers and a mother to look after.”

Zaan added, “I’ve been receiving calls from my crew members, asking for help. They are asking me to talk to the producers and help them get their money back. We all have put in our hearts and souls during those 8 months of shooting, setting dada, spot dada, and others’ are crying and pleading on calls just to get their own money back.”

The actor seems to be on his last resource of patience, “We have given the producers enough time, we waited for 6 months patiently, but they don’t want to pay any heed. They just don’t give a ‘f**k’ about people’s lives anymore.”

We hope the cast and crew of ‘Hamari Bahu Silk’ get their dues soon and they don’t have to resort to such drastic steps.
