Humaari Bahu Silk Actor Zaan Khan: "I Have Sold All That I Could; Don’t Have Money To Pay Rent"

Humaari Bahu Silk actor Zaan Khan had been hitting the headlines during the lockdown. It was because he dared to protest against the producers of the show and draw everyone's attention to the fact that the cast and crew had not been paid till now, despite the show ending back in November. Now, the actor has revealed that he has hit a crisis. In a recent interview, he has opened up about being without money and has said that he is planning to protest in front of one of the producer's residence.

Talking to TOI, he revealed that he is in dire need of money. He said, "There are people who don’t have money to buy essentials. I have sold all that I could, including one of the two cars I have; I spent all my savings during the lockdown and also helped my unit members. I shot for a commercial recently, but how long will that money last? Now, I don’t have money left to pay the rent. My parents are insisting that I return to my hometown, Bhopal. I came to Mumbai to fulfill my dream of becoming an actor, but if things don’t improve, I will have to go back. I will be forced to take a drastic step if the producers don’t clear our dues.”

He also added that he is planning to protest again and said, “We worked on the show for almost a year and got paid for just a month. We have pleaded with the producers (Devyani, Jyoti Gupta, and Sudhanshu Tripathi) and tried to get our dues cleared, but in vain. We now plan to stage another protest outside Devyani’s new residence, where she shifted some time ago."

We hope that the members do get their due soon and the film bodies also step in to give them justice. It was also being rumoured that the actor has been approached for Bigg Boss 14, however, there has been no confirmation of the same.
