The actor explained the situation saying that the producers are the risk-takers and not the cast and the crew of the show. She said that it is the duty of the producer to pay the remuneration as they have signed her. And it is her duty to deliver a performance in the fixed set of hours as per the contract. According to her, if she delivers a good performance then, the makers of the show need to deliver on their end of the contract.

Hina Khan then mentioned that if the show makes a lot of profits in the future then the producer does not give the profits to actors. So keeping the same thing in mind, the makers should pay the actors on time and not keep them waiting for the payment for so long. She then admitted that she understands that there is a crisis going on, but the producers have to calculate the risk and should have kept some funds differently for emergencies or if things with the show do not work out.
She wondered that the makers of the show did not think about keeping a reserve find as they should have, but being a producer is a huge responsibility and the producers should pay their dues in time.
