Further revealing why this has put her in a big mess, she got into deets and said, “I had parked my money into various investments and had also bought a house back then. At the back of my mind, I knew that even if the show will go off air, I will still get the remaining salary in the next three months. But one fine day, the producer said that I refuse to pay your money. I was shattered and in a real big mess. I had no idea how to figure things out.”

Tina also revealed that she made multiple reminders and even lodged a complaint at the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA). The actress also states in her interview that the producers kept her in the lurch for the next three years.

I believe in karma and it bites you back really hard,” Tinaa shares.
