Zee TV's popular show Jamai Raja went off-air in March but five artists from the show - Shiny Doshi, Mouli Gangully, Sanjay Swaraj, Neelu Kohli and Rajshree Dutta have not yet been paid their dues. The actors reached out to Cine and TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA) for help in the matter, where Meenakshi assured to clear everyone's dues.
Actress Mouli Ganguly, who was part of the show, said to Bombay Times, "I've received only a part of my payment. They stopped us from depositing the post-dated cheques. I wasn't even given a copy of my contract in spite of repeated requests. Around seven actors had approached CINTAA before the shoot wrapped up. We were assured that we would be paid. On that condition, we resumed the shoot, but the dues still haven't been cleared."
Recently, CINTAA issued a non-cooperation directive against producer Meenakshi Sagar, which prevents all CINTAA members from providing their services to any projects handled by the producer.
