Mumbai: The past two years have been very different, unexpected, heartbreaking and shocking in the experience of the world. The COVID pandemic has shown us that nothing is stable. The threat of the virus is still hovering over our heads. Like many other industries during the lockdown, it also had a massive impact on the cinema and glamor industry.

With cinema halls shut, the TV shoots were halted for over a year. Actors and actresses continued to spend on their savings, but many people lost their savings. In this difficult time, many TV stars pleaded for financial help. Here, we take a look at 5 such TV personalities, who are troubled by financial constraints and pleaded for help.

In an interview with ETimes, Ananya Soni said, ‘I have been living on a kidney since 2015. Both my kidneys had failed 6 years ago and my father donated one kidney to me. Suddenly, the donated kidney has failed and I need a fresh kidney transplant. I never dreamed of such a situation when I was doing shows like Naamkaran and Crime Patrol.

2. Shagufta Ali:

We remember Shagufta Ali for Sasural Simar Ka and many other shows and even movies. Shagufta Ali recently spoke candidly about her struggle to find work in the industry.

During his appearance in Dance Deewane, Shagufta said, “The last 32 years out of 36 years have been wonderful. I fought a lot, worked a lot, supported my family and myself. But four years ago, there were many auditions, a lot happened but no work was being found. During that time, my foot problem increased due to diabetes, which also affected my eyes. I don’t know why, but I could not bear the pain of these four years. Industry is my home, I have given it 36 ​​years.

3. Nupur Alankari:

TV actress Nupur Alankar known for shows like Swaragini and Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon.

In a Facebook post, she wrote, “A very dear actress friend of mine, Nupur Alankar is facing a lot of financial problems after losing all her money unfortunately getting stuck in PMC Bank.”

4. Aditya Narayan:

Even stars like Aditya Narayan faced huge financial crunch during the lockdown. Before marriage, he had told an entertainment portal, ‘All my savings have been exhausted. I have really exhausted my savings. I had to withdraw all the money I had invested in mutual funds (to survive). Because no one had planned that I would not work for a year. No one plans like this. Unless you’re a billionaire. I have Rs 18,000 left in my account, so if I didn’t start work by October, I would have no money. I have to sell my bike or something. It’s really tough.’

5. Ayub Khan:

The actor featured in one of the top shows on Colors ‘Uttaran’ which made many stars overnight. One of them was actor Ayub Khan who has also acted in many films.

During an interview with Times Now Digital, the actor had said, “We and other people are going through tough times. God forbid if I had to sit back for a year and a half surely I would have a bigger problem on my hands. We are not spending too much because we have to be careful about it. If there is a lockdown for a year then it will be a disastrous situation.
