Wo log bola ki, 'then I will release your dues, otherwise bhul jao paise' (They made me sign a bond that I should not go to the media, otherwise they would keep my dues on hold)"

Sohail Romani on holding Monika's payment
However, after Monika signed the bond, they did not release her payment and stopped picking up her calls. After almost one and a half years, she called Sohail Romani, the Production Head of TMKOC. He told her, "Aao baithke baat karte hai (Come, we will sit and talk)." Upon reaching his office, Sohail started screaming at Monika. To this, Monika replied, "Waah, sab kuch aap hi k favor, hum gaali bhi khaye, torture bhi jhele, paise bhi na do, aur hum kahi nahi jaye!" Then Sohail asked her to not complain anywhere and released her payment.
