Nia Sharma: Despite earning name and fame for her work, she too faced a tough time at one point. She said, so after Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai till Jamai Raja, there was a nine-month gap. I was all alone in Mumbai. I had no friends because obviously, I was new. I stayed in my shell. I worked on myself, I started learning belly dancing. Woh jo 9 mahine guzar gaye and I realised ki koi kaam nahi tha, kuch nahi tha, not a single penny I had earned, no friends… I think woh ek period tha jo mujhe dobara nahi jeena tha (I never want to relive those nine months, when I had no work, no friends and did not earn a single penny).

Sumona Chakravarti: The actress had opened up about being unemployed with a hard-hitting note. In one of the posts, she mentioned that she is unemployed and yet able to feed her family. Did a proper workout at home after ages...Some days I feel guilty because boredom is a privilege. I may be unemployed & yet can feed my family & myself. That is a privilege. Sometimes I feel guilty. Especially when am feeling low due to pain. The mood swings play havoc emotionally, she wrote.
