Tahiya Tazeen Khan Aisha, popularly known as Aisha Khan, is a popular face of the small screen.
She acted in a series directed by Abu Hayat Mahmud two years ago. This actress has not received that salary yet. Actress Aisha Khan gave the status on Facebook by mentioning the director regarding her payment.
The actress claimed in that status, all the senior artistes associated with the series are getting paid, but the director Abu Hayat Mahmud is reluctant to pay her.
While talking in this regard, Aisha Khan told this correspondent, “It was the work of a series of Deepto play. Shooting probably started in October or November of 2022.
It was a work of 26 episodes. He gave me the first two bills immediately. From then on he would delay. The latest bill was given to me in Eid-ul-Azha of this year. I had arrears of over Tk1 lakh. Since it was Eid season, I wanted my payment from him. He gave me Tk50 thousand.
Now Tk62 and a half thousand are left. He has been moving around with the money since Eid. They said, he (Abu Hayat Mahmud) is like this. He does not pay properly. Some have given up hope.”
Aisha Khan said that all the remuneration from the production company has been given to the director.
She said, “Sujon Bhai, the official of Deepto Play, told me that they didn’t interfere in anything other than choosing artistes. Everything was left up to the director. They explained the remuneration of all. I have also mentioned the matter in the post.
The director is not paying me even after the production company has explained the remuneration to the actors.”
Finally, Aisha’s question, “My point is, why should an artiste suffer with these things?”
An attempt was made to contact director Abu Hayat Mahmud to find out about this complaint of Aisha. However, his used mobile phone was found off.
