When BT contacted the actress about accepting pay cuts she reacted by saying that she also felt the pinch of it. Bharti shared, "I guess everyone felt the pinch when they were asked to take a pay cut, and I was no exception. I also negotiated a lot over it.

TV and shows ko sponsors nahi mil rahe hain toh channels kahaan se paisa laayein. Everyone is trying to get back on their feet. Once we generate good ratings, sponsors will automatically come back and our fee will also be raised." (Pic: Instagram)

The frying pan incident that took place between Madhurima Tuli and ex-boyfriend Vishal Aditya Singh during Bigg Boss 13. It was recently recreated in Khatron Ke Khiladi 11.

She requested the channel to not bring up things from the past and let her move on.

Later in interaction with BT, Madhurima talked about the same and said, "My family gets affected by all of this. I remember at that time when my mother would see people making fun of the frying pan episode, she would get deeply affected by it. I was impacted too. I was thrown out of the show because of that and it affected me badly. I went on a guilt trip after that. While people have been making a joke out of it, they don't realise that it has affected my career. It has changed people's perception of me. I guess they don't understand that the show is such and situations are such that they give rise to controversies of this kind." (Pic: Instagram)
