Mehrene Kaur Pirzada is one of the talented actors in the film industry. The actress made her debut with Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha. She acted in almost 14 films and Ashwathama is her last film. Meanwhile, she is facing issues with the producers of Ashwathama. Apparently, there is talk that the film's producer denied paying the hotel bills of the actress and the actress got irked by the same. On the other side, there is another report that claims that Mehreen unnecessarily puts more expenses on the producer's side. There are multiple rumors about the incident.
Already, this morning, a popular Telugu website posted a piece of news claiming that Mehreen is on the side of mistake. Mehreen posted a tweet and gave a counter indirectly. She tweeted, "Making movies on women empowerment but disrespecting them in real life doesn't make sense. I stand up when it comes to my dignity & self-esteem. I believe in mutual professionalism & respect for an individual's personal space. May God bless you all."
In no time, she took to Twitter again, to explain the complete story in the incident, which is below.
"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.
After wrapping my Sankranthi Releases Promotions, I went to visit my family in Punjab. I returned to Hyderabad to do promotional work for the film a few days before it's theatrical release. This, despite the fact that my maternal grandfather suddenly took ill as a result of a heart attack and has subsequently had stents put. This was even mentioned by my co-star Naga Shaurya during interviews. 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.
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.
What has transpired since has been extremely hurtful to me and is a malicious attempt at tarnishing my painstakingly built professional reputation? I have worked on 14 Films in the Telugu movie industry and I'd like to mention that I have always worked my heart out through pain and illness in some cases without complaint. I have never had any issues with any of the production houses that I have had the good fortune to work with at least of all financial issues.
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.
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. We have to see if Naga Shaurya or anyone from IRA Creations come up with a response to this.
