Employee slams Jackky Bhagnani's Pooja Entertainment
A Pooja Entertainment employee took to Instagram to reveal that she had not received her salary for months. Ruchita Kamble, a crew member, penned a long post and urged others not to work with Jackky Bhagnani and his father Vashu Bhagnani.
She wrote, “Not the one to ever make such posts but sometimes people need to be ousted! Seeing my team and the crew I worked with struggle day in and out to just get hold of our own hard earned money has compelled me to make this post. Read the sheer frustration of these young girls who have beautifully stated the absolute disregard @pooja_ent has and the sheer unprofessional, unethical behaviour that we all have been tolerating for way too long”.
Ruchita called out the unprofessional behaviour of the team and for not receiving her hard-earned money even after months of work. She wrote, “Being dodged from person to another just to ask for our own money which was promised to be cleared within 45-60 working days post completion which in itself is also unprofessional but the crew graciously agreed as we are a bunch driven by passion for filmmaking. But to exploit this passion to such an extent should not be acceptable.”
Ruchita said that she does not hope to receive her payments but wants to make others aware of the fraudulent practice of Pooja Entertainment. “There is no hope of getting paid but this post is to make the countless others aware of this fraudulent practices by @pooja_ent @jackkybhagnani @vashubhagnani and vouch to not work with them. PS – Urge my friends to kindly reshare this post and ask other filmmakers to do so too. And if u r associated with any media houses who can escalate it or cover this that will be great,” she added.
More confessions
Another user also posted that she had not received her salary even after 2 years, but no production house was mentioned. The post read, “I did a movie 2 years ago with a very well known production house. Me along with atleast a 100 crew members are awaiting our payments (2 month salaries) since 2 years. Meanwhile actor have been paid immediately because they are ACTORS. None of the producers have an answer to our question, Where is my hard earned money? Most importantly, When can i get my hard earned money?”
A user took notice of the post and commented, “It’s happening with me as well I’m following about my payment and the producers don’t respond to the call.” Another wrote, “They’re indeed the worst. They think flying you to an outdoor location is enough. After that cant, even arrange food for the crew. Will even keep workers’ payments on hold. Sadly, a lot depends on your HOD.”
