Actress Mehreen Pirzada for the past few days is making news over her unprofessional attitude by the Aswathama producer, Shankar Prasad. Several reports were carried out stating that Mehreen missed an interview despite asking by the team. For this, she was threatened by the producer of not clearing her hotel bills. All this was written in poor taste.
After I took part in all promotions for Ashwathama, I was unable to make it for one interview as I got a skin allergy and my face broke out into a rash. I sent a Doctor’s prescription and a photograph to the producers and apologized for missing the interview.
Countering this, Mehreen issued a statement on Twitter and told her side of the story. The lengthy post reads, “I’m very disturbed at some recent news articles regarding my hotel bills which were incurred over the course of my work in the Ira Creations produced film, Ashwathama. I was maintaining a dignified silence regarding the entire issue but when my reputation is tarnished I am forced to tell my side of the story”.
It seems that the producers got irked regarding the same and refused to settle my Hotel bill and also never paid my day staff. After my manager asked them to settle these dues to no avail, I asked him to settle the hotel bills on my behalf and also pay my staff what was due to them. This was done so immediately upon my instructions.
Her post adds, “It’s in very poor taste that my hotel food and laundry bills have been mentioned in tabloid news stories. Further, I have nothing to do with the hiring of my costume stylist or their remuneration, this is done directly with the production house which is normal industry practice. There are two sides to every story and I felt that I cannot keep quiet when my professional reputation is dragged through the dirt”. She concludes saying, “I’d like to put this unpleasant incident behind me and look forward to the future. I’d like to thank Ira Creations for giving me the opportunity to work in their film Ashwathama and wish them luck for their future endeavors. I will be making no further statements regarding this issue. Thank You”.
