Indian actress Neetu Chandra has recently said that she was offered Rs 25 lakh to become a businessman’s ‘salaried wife’.
In an interview, Neetu Chandra, who has worked in films like Garam Masala and Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, said that her story is a ‘failure story of a successful actor’.
The actor shared, “Having worked with 13 National award winners and in such big films, today I have no work. I was told by a big businessman that he will give me Rs 25 lakh per month and that I have to become his salaried wife.”
“I neither have money nor work. I have become worried. I feel unwanted here after doing so much work,” Chandra shared. She broke into tears and questioned if the worth of someone’s work is appreciated only after their death. When the interviewer asked if suicidal thoughts have crossed her mind, she replied in the affirmative.
She debuted in the Hindi film industry in 2005 with Garam Masala in which she portrayed the role of Sweety, an air-hostess. She also acted in Godavari, a Telugu film, in 2006. In 2007 she appeared in Madhur Bhandarkar’s film, Traffic Signal.
In 2008, she had four releases, being directed by Dibakar Banerjee, Rahul Dholakia, Ashwini Dheer and Vikram. Her Tamil film, Yavarum Nalam with Madhavan, released in 2009, was declared a major hit.
