Money issues cloud Jassi team

Rakshanda Khan

The drama in Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin (Sony) isn't restricted to the screen. In the last few months, there has been constant talk about payment issues for the actors and writers on the show, who say producers Tony and Deeya Singh have been unnecessarily holding back their payments.

Said an actor, who no longer works with the show, "I had problems regarding my payment from day one. Not only did I get my cheques late, but there were lots of false promises made. The channel makes sure Apoorva (Agnihotri) and Mona (Singh) get paid on time, but when it comes to other actors like Rakhi Tandon or Rakshanda Khan, there is total chaos."

Rakshanda to be dumped

Citing a recent incident, a source from the show revealed, "Rakshanda was furious about her late payment. She was very vocal about her displeasure on not being paid for a couple of episodes and made it clear to the producers."

When we contacted Khan to check on this, she was tight-lipped, and decided to play it safe, saying, "I don't want to comment on this. I am busy with certain things right now, so maybe we can talk about it later."

An insider said that Mallika (Rakshanda's character) will be bumped off soon. "The producers are planning to get away from giving her the money by killing her off. The story has a planned exit for Mallika soon."

Deeya Singh

Rekkha's ire

The unhappiness is not only restricted to the actors, but also the writers. The creative interference and constant changes being made in the scripts seem to have taken a toll on the show already.

"Rekkha Modi has already walked out of the show twice, and was brought back at the channel's behest. She was unhappy with the numerous twists and turns made in her scripts."

However, Modi was not keen to spill the beans either. "I don't want to speak on this," she said. We contacted Deeya Singh, but met with a cold response. "I am not in a position to talk and do not want to comment on anything," said the producer.

sheena the way the show is taking a back burner, i dont they will have the resources to continue till may... see as the show loses its popularity, it loses trp and with less trp you have less air-time advertisement value. which means lesser revenue.. with lesser revenue and plaguing problems how can they continue till may...

i just hope against hope that they dont bring a cheap replacement for mallika...🤢.... just to stretch it...

and i cant believe that they pay apu and mona and not raks on time... JJKN apart, raks is a far bigger name in the soap industry and how can they take her for granted?????😕

lashy i do agree with u here that rakshanda is big name but u know the main lead is of apu and mona and if they r not paid they wud walk off and show ends which in all eventuality wud and besides the makers wont want to disappoint the hottest pair now na

the show is apu and monas so they r paid on time and kept happy

and as for mallika being killed lashy u commented in other post the show might go aayushman way

yes in aayushman also the mad bro was killed off in the end and the show ended and why bcoz the show lost all its concept of the young doc and showed love story and waht nots

here also same and ppl r fed up of continous turns and twists and for how long can evil mallika survive. the evil has to end na some day

great news if the show ends soon but not this way.

it will just be the last useless thing they would do to it before ending

it's as if they bid their brains a permanent good bye as soon as they met success and money 😡 😡

And they have money to pay that idiot Raghav???? I don't understand these people.
Kawaljeet is not able to make any impact either. Why are they spending money on his house, clothes and cars ???

I agree with you here. No matter how much I hate her I don't want her to be killed. For once she should behave like Marcella and walk away.
