Scroll all the way down to read what she said and watch the complete interview.<\/p>\n When asked if she ever faced any delayed payment in her profession, Jayati Bhatia said, \u201cMost important toh aise producer ke saath kaam hi nahi karti jo payments mein takleef de. I even have at all times worked and seen to it that I work with the appropriate people. Pata nahi yeh bolte hi ulta hogaya, agla show ek strange producer ke saath kiya jo paise nahi dete the. Lekin aaj tak, in my 30 years, perhaps sirf ek hi producer hua hai jinhone mujhe paise nahi diye. Pilot ke, aur chaar episodes ke bhi nahi diye. But that’s the only instance in my entire profession. Otherwise, till date, I even have at all times got my full payment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n She continued, \u201cHaan, system thoda ajeeb hota hai. Aap aaj shoot kar rahe ho, maan lo September mein shoot kiya, toh pehla cheque January mein aata hai. It\u2019s like 90 days credit, par actually 120\u2013150 days ho jaata hai \u2014 lagbhag 4\u20135 mahine. Humne toh tab kaam kiya hai jab 45 days mein payment aa jaati thi, toh savings se manage ho jaata tha. Par jo naye actors hote hain, jinka pehla show hota hai \u2014 woh kaise manage karte hain 6 mahine bina payment ke? Woh hamesha tension mein rehte hain ki \u2018sixth month mein aa jayega na?’\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n She shared, \u201cJab pehla cheque aane wala hota hai na, sabki energy hil jaati hai, kyunki unhone apna rent, khana, ghar ke saare kharche ussi pe base kiye hote hain. Aur agar usmein bhi delay ho jaaye, toh dimaag kharab ho jaata hai. Ek toh 6 mahine baad paise mil rahe hain, upar se delay, aur phir aapko maangna padta hai \u2014 kyun? Jo date fix hai us par do na.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The Heeramandi actress continued, \u201cMere saath kabhi paise cut nahi hue, na hi kabhi mile nahi \u2014 bas woh ek hi producer tha. Aur woh bhi pilot tha, toh unhone bola channel se paise nahi mile. Par woh meri galti nahi hai na \u2014 maine apne 4\u20135 din diye the. Maine 2\u20133 baar follow-up kiya, phir chhod diya. Jab baaki cheques aane lagte hain toh itna bura nahi lagta, par sabka aisa nahi hota. Bahut log struggle karte hain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The actress said, \u201cAur mujhe bahut problem hoti hai jab log bolte hain \u2018thoda adjustment kar lo, 20% cut le lo.\u2019 Kyun? Profit mein toh humein share nahi dete, toh loss mein kyun? Aapne humein actor ke taur par hire kiya hai \u2014 humein humara poora paisa milna chahiye. Producer ka rutba industry mein isliye hota hai kyunki woh team khadi karta hai. Unki backbone itni strong honi chahiye ki set par kaam karne wale har insaan ko pay kar sake. Agar nahi kar sakte, toh producer mat bano.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n She added, \u201cAur jab show khatam ho jaata hai, tab grace aur bhi zaroori hoti hai. Kyunki show band hone ke baad aapko next day actor ki zaroorat nahi hoti. Tab log bolte hain, \u2018Sorry, payment nahi aayi, channel delay kar raha hai.\u2019 Tab actor ko darr lagta hai \u2014 paise milenge ya nahi? Jab show chal raha hota hai, tab paise mil hi jaate hain eventually, kyunki kaam chal raha hota hai. Isliye maine hamesha un producers ke saath kaam kiya hai jinhone saalon tak prove kiya hai ki they pay on time and respect actors.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n She concluded, \u201cAur mere liye sabse essential hai respect. Mujhe mere set par respect milti hai, aur wahi matter karta hai. Baaki kaun respect karta hai ya nahi, usse mujhe farq nahi padta. Aur principal hamesha ensure karti hoon ki meri poori team saath mein kaam kare \u2014 shayad isliye kyunki principal theatre background se hoon, aur mujhe teamwork bahut pasand hai.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Jayati Bhatia is a seasoned TV actress celebrated for her iconic, long-standing portrayal of Nirmala \u201cMataji\u201d Bharadwaj in Sasural Simar Ka (2011\u20132018).
