TV Actress Samikssha Batnagar Opens Up About Financial Crunch Due To The Lockdown, Says 'My Savings Are Almost Over'

The lockdown has been hard on many people, including those who the general public perceives to be well-off, like celebs. Last year itself, many celebs shared how they have been suffering from a financial crunch due to the lockdown. The predicament seems to have remainn unchanged even now as the industry faces yet another lockdown. Now, Hamariwali Good News actress Samikssha Batnagar has opened up about the financial crisis she's battlling. In fact, she reveals that she's run out of cash and might not sustain herself for long in Mumbai.

Talking to ETimes, Samikssha revealed, “The first lockdown led to a massive cash crunch situation. Most of my projects crashed, so I had to take up a few time-bound roles, including my role in Hamariwali Good News, to bear the burden of my EMIs. Financially, 2020 was very difficult for me and lack of acting opportunities made it worse.”

She further added, “There’s no work and if it continues like this, it will be very difficult for me to sustain in Mumbai. My savings are almost over, and I am running out of cash. I have been very selective with my work. I never wanted to do saas-bahu shows, I have always looked forward to something that challenges me as an actor. But I don’t think I can be choosy in the current situation. I will have to take up whatever comes my way.”

Well, we definitely hope that she receives help from her fellow mates at the industry and is out of the sticky situation soon.
