Pavitra Punia talks about facing a financial crisis during lockdown
In a candid conversation with ETimes TV, Pavitra Punia opened up about the difficult phases of her life, including her father’s demise, financial crisis due to lack of work and many more. Talking about the financial crisis of her life, Pavitra recalled how her pay for seven days of work was kept on hold during the lockdown. Thus, it led to an extreme financial crisis for Pavitra as she kept her savings for future use. In Pavitra’s words:
“To be honest, I never had to audition. I was directly called for a look test. They said if we like you, then you can come and give us a look test. During the lockdown, I recall they didn’t reduce my payment, but they asked if they could withhold my one week’s payment because at that time I was doing Baalveer. They asked if they could keep my payment for one week. Given the global emergency, I realize I might face financial difficulties because after this, I won’t have any income, and I can’t touch my savings before that. Some savings are meant to be kept aside and untouched because they’re assets. You can’t just sell your assets or use them for daily expenses. I couldn’t do anything about it, and I know those 7 days really shook up my budget.”
