What Sparked the Fallout?

In an interview with Times of India, Palak shed light on the toxic work conditions. She revealed, “I was still shooting, despite having health issues.
I provided my medical reports, but the makers ignored my condition and made me shoot for 12-hour shifts. There were days when I couldn’t even respond to their legal notices because I was stuck on set.” She added that these were some of the most traumatic days of her life.
Palak described how, despite needing only 30 minutes of work, the production team would force her to sit on set for over 12 hours.
“I’ve been mentally harassed,” she shared, expressing how the constant pressure and hostile environment impacted her well-being.

Jennifer had previously faced similar issues with the production team and is now calling on Asit Kumar Modi and his team to settle Palak’s dues.
