TV actor Manas Shah is going through a rough phase financially and has had to sell off his car because he hasn’t been paid for his last show “Hamari Bahu Silk”.
“This is the first time that I’m facing such a challenging situation. I’m facing a big financial crisis. I had to sell my car for survival. I also had to leave my rented house and shift with my cousin in Lokhandwala,” he said.
Talking about non-payment of dues, Manas Shah said: “I started shooting on May 2, 2019, and the last shoot was on November 5, 2019. We all have been paid only for May 2019, which was officially due in September 2019 but we received it in October 2019. After that nobody has received a single penny.”
Manas Shah, who has worked in shows like “Hamari Devrani” and “Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman”, feels that nothing can be worse than this situation. “I have my parents to look after in my hometown Ahmedabad. My dad is retired after serving in a bank for years,” said Manas.
With the shooting of shows is being put on hold due to the ongoing pandemic, Manas Shah says his problems have even worsened.
“It’s a very bad situation, not only for me but also for all the people who are working in this entertainment industry, because till now we haven’t received payment of the past, in the present there is no work and the future is unknown,” he said.
