Producer Kundan Singh refutes Krishna's claims
Denying Krishna's claims, producer Kundan Singh shared Instagram stories warning his followers to 'beware of lies.' He also shared a reel which reads, “It’s sad to see how it’s so easy for some people to make false accusations. I must clarify that all the accusations being made are false and frivolous, and strict legal action will be taken against all culprits.”
He further alleged that Krishna filed an FIR in 2022 against two other people from the production house for the same claims. “During that time me and my team strongly stood with her and her family and helped her at every step, I was even in touch with her father throughout the matter. As a disciplinary action I even fired both the employees immediately, though later came to know that the allegations she put on them were false and only for the sake to settle her personal grudge,” he claims, adding, “She took a step ahead for false financial claim, we had reached out to her for legal proceeding but she refusing to come which is already in the record of City Civil Court, Mumbai.”
Talking about the same, Krishna told HT City, "I told them clearly that those two people will not come on set again, but only after a week, they were there. I reminded the team, to which I was told 'we don't have much team, kya karein' I still continued shooting. Kundan Singh ne saara mujhe pe daal diya ki meri wajah se show band ho gaya. He is lying in his Insta post.”
Celebs extend support to Krishna
Aly Goni, who worked with Krishna in 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein' took to his Instagram to extend his support to the actor. He also revealed the amount due to her by producer Kundan Singh. Aly wrote, "
Krishna made some allegations, and the perpetrator is now posting claiming she’s lying. I know it’s not a lie because Krishna called me when they locked her in the room. She was crying when she called me and Chirag. But we were all shooting and couldn’t help her then.”
He continued, "Irrespective of that, if Kundan is so sure he paid her, I’m sure he must have the bank details. Why not share it? All her friends know how much she has suffered. The amount they need to pay her is not small, it’s ₹39 lakh. She earned that money. You can’t blame the channel too as they always clear the dues. Threaten however much you want, we’re all with her.”
Surbhi Chandna commented on Krishna's post and wrote, "You are brave & courageous to have spoken the harsh reality of the industry we are in .. nobody should be given the right to feel they own us and in no way they do please understand in this battle you are not fighting alone Krishna we all extend our support
You are a hardworking talent and you deserve what is rightfully yours."
