Actress Parakh Madan of Monica Mogre had recently quoted that she hasn't yet received the salary, "the producer's
dues from Aug 08 to Jan 09 are still pending.
We began shooting from June last year and have been paid only
for June and July".
But the producer of the show, Yash Patnaik has a different story altogether, "My show was
scheduled to go on air in July 2008 on Zee next and I had since then singed Parakh and other actors.
We
had also started shooting but due to some reasons it got postpone and in November 2008 Zee next was shut down and
the channel decided to air the show on Zee.
With so much time wasted obviously Parakh was worried about
her money. Channel and I mutually decided in September 2008 that channel would pay monthly payment to Parakh
until the show goes on air.
Parakh had to just sign a contract with Zee regarding the same but even after
continuous reminders she didn't did so, in which case neither I nor the channel has any dues remaining towards
Parakh."
Yash further alleges the actress to be unprofessional, "we were going to shoot in March 2007 and made a set in
Sankraman which cost us 5 lacs. But Parakh suddenly vanished and was not even picking our calls hence we had to
scrap the set. Due to her unprofessional nature we suffered a huge loss."
