Falaq Naaz is known for her stint in shows like ‘Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani’ and ‘Haathi Ghoda Paalki- Jai Kanhaiya Laal Ki’ among others. The actress recently shared her thoughts on one of the most important concerns that people working in the showbiz industry suffers.

Naaz made a video on Instagram and talked about non-payment by the producers. In the video, Falaq shared her disappointment on producers not giving the actors their hard-earned money. She said, “When producers make TV shows, they either get successful or unsuccessful. When the show is a hit, the producers never share the profit with the actors, so why do they expect a negotiation when the show gets flop? The show might shut down for a lot of reasons but the unit should be paid for the same. Producers often claim that the channel is involved in the decision but actors sign the show on the producers’ face value (in most of the cases). They should pay the team their remunerations on time”.

She further added, “I’m not talking about all the producers. Some producers are very humble and makes sure that the entire unit is paid even if they’ve incurred a loss and the almighty blesses such producers with a lot of wealth and respect. It makes me wonder how people cannot pay their unit and sleep peacefully. If I’m in debt, I find ways to clear it as soon as possible but these producers have no remorse and are often seen partying”.

Falaq also opened up about actors not uniting against such producers and calling them out together. She said, “Often actors don’t name the producers or stand against them because they feel their relations with producers would get spoiled and they wouldn’t get work in future. I feel a person can only get work due to their talent. No amount of good relations can guarantee work if a person isn’t talented”.

Talking to the defaulter producers, Falaq said, “Well, I feel such producers would never succeed if they not pay their unit’s hard earned money. The karma would catch them hard as an actor and the entire unit give their 200% and do their work sincerely. I know so many people who report on sets and do their work despite a death at their houses. The actors act responsibly even in such situation so that the show doesn’t suffer”.

We hope Falaq's video would reach the right people and they get the message!
