Sony TV recently announced news wherein the channel decided to put an end to three shows, Beyhadh 2, Patiala Babes and Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein. The show has been pulled off by Sony TV amidst the lockdown.
Even post the abrupt ending of the show, the producers of the show has decided to pay the stipend to the workers and the creative team unit till the lockdown is lifted. They will pay a team of over 60 members stipend ranging from 10,000-25,000 Rs per person.
The show’s writer-producer Rajita Sharma has expressed her sadness and trauma, where she shared, “It was encouraging that Sony gave us a platform to bring to life our very bold narrative. Since the whole world is under siege, these times call for some unfortunate but necessary measures. ‘Patiala Babes’ will always remain close to our heart.”
Vivek Budakoti and Rajita shared, “The pandemic seems to be preparing for a long haul and as the show is shut, our workers are jobless.”
“We have decided to share whatever little profit we earned with our fellow workers who made us what we are as a production house. This is our commitment and support to our colleagues and will be on for as much time it takes for the industry to resume shoot,” they added.
