They had promised me to raise my fees after six months, but they never did. Wo paise ki beimaani karti hai. Sach mein wo kutte ki jaisa treat karte hain. Unhone mere saath bohot ganda behave kiya hai. And their EP Sohil Ramani is the worst. Bohot badtameez hi wo. Unhone anyway Natttu kaka ko bhi abuse kiya tha.”
He added,
I was traumatized but he only called me seven days after my mother’s death, asking me to report on the set. When I said I was in no condition, his team said, ‘Hum aapko paisa de rahe hai, hum jab chahe aap ko khada hona padega chahe aap ki Mummy admit ho ya koi.’ I went to the set because I had no choice and I would just cry every day. Upar se unka torture and bad behavior bhi karte. They will call me on set an hour before the call time. Itni gundagardi hi unke set pe. He (Asit) said ‘I am God’.”
