Her mother stopped her from taking the drastic step. She has struggled a lot to be an actress, this money means a lot to her. It is the first time that she has earned such a big amount, but to her sheer bad luck, she is deprived of this also. She is the sole earning member in her family, her father is no more, and she has two small brothers and a mother to look after,” he told the media portal. The show was taken off air just after five month.
Days before entering the house, Chaahat confessed the same while talking to Indian Express. “Yes, it happened in 2019. I am in a good space now.”
