Monica, who won the hearts of viewers as Bagha's innocent girlfriend, has changed a lot — not only in looks but also in her outlook on life.

Recognition from Bawri's Character

Bawri, who appeared as Bagha's girlfriend, had won everyone's heart with her quirky dialogues and funny expressions.
In the year 2023, Monica made a shocking revelation. She said that the makers of the show had not paid her 4 to 5 lakh rupees. When she demanded payment several times, she was forced to sign a contract with the condition that she would not speak about the matter in the media.
She revealed that she was treated inhumanely on the shooting set. Monica said that producer Asit Modi and the production team used to shout at her, abuse her and threaten her that he would end her career in the industry.
Phase of Mental Stress and Depression
Monica emotionally revealed that her mother and grandmother had also passed away during the same period. On one hand, she was struggling with grief in her personal life, while on the other hand, she was constantly facing humiliation and stress in her professional life. All this became so much that she went into severe depression and reached a point where she was about to commit suicide.

After leaving the show, it became difficult for Monica to get work in the industry. She revealed that a negative environment had been created against her and she was kept away from new projects. The producer's statements and threats had a bad effect on her career. My career suffered a lot after this show. It took me a long time to get back on my feet, she said.
