While talking to Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Reem Shaikh opened up on her thoughts on speculations of Bigg Boss new season not premiering. Speaking about it, Reem shared how she enjoyed watching Bigg Boss as an audience but has not been enjoying that much in the past 2-3 years. After Reem made this confession, Bharti playfully reminded her that the people who have been a part of Bigg Boss in the last 2-3 years are the same people who have been working with them in Laughter Chefs. Upon hearing this, Reem quipped, "No Abhishek was hurt." Bharti Singh then disclosed that often there is a hesitation to confess what one feels for girls, but Abhishek Kumar and Samarth Jurel confess their feelings without hesitation. Bharti and Haarsh shared how Abhishek quickly compliments girls without hesitating and expresses his feelings for them. Agreeing with Bharti Singh and Haarsh, Reem revealed that Abhishek compliments on her face. The actress said, "Aur itna besharam hai, abhi muje muu pe bol rha hoga badme Nia ko same chiz jaake bolega (And he is so shameless. He will compliment me and then he will say the same thing to Nia)." Reem revealed how she asked Abhishek whether he has any hesitation as he gives compliments to everyone. Haarsh quipped that Abhishek should compliment one at a time and should maintain a gap. The comedian then said that Abhishek and Samarth are both very cute. Speaking about her personal life, Reem Shaikh recently purchased a swanky BMW worth more than Rs 60 lakh. Workwise, she has done several shows like Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal, Fanaa: Ishq Mein Marjawaan and more.

Haarsh Limbachiyaa reveals with pay cuts they have been living off loans; Reem Shaikh adds, 'Actors are being hired on a monthly salary basis'
Reem Shaikh, an actress who can presently be seen on Laughter Chefs Season 2, has spent the last 15 years working in television. During a recent visit to Bharti Singh's podcast, Reem discussed the persistent budget restrictions in the television industry, emphasising how actresses today are paid substantially less. Haarsh Limbachiyaa also discussed how the market has deteriorated to the point where large-budget productions are no longer possible. On the podcast, Reem stated, "Having a set in Filmcity is a privilege now." There are no outdoor schedules anymore, and no one is willing to set up before Naigaon, which takes four hours to get to and from. Haarsh went on to say, "There are very few huge shows like Laughter Chef being produced nowadays. Budgets have been decreased. I'm watching such a large display after 3-4 years. Now it appears that TV is struggling. It is on a downward trend. " Haarsh also revealed that he and Bharti have been living off debt. "We have a similar problem. People assume that if I host a show on one channel and Bharti does a show on another, I will charge Rs 20 lakhs per day and Bharti will charge Rs 50 lakhs. That is not true. We are surviving on loans, and if we do not accept the work that comes our way, someone else will." Bharti made a joke: "We are so much on loans that even when the milkman comes, we think an agent has come to take the loan back. " Haarsh went on to say, "Only the perception is big now. I've come across videos of the fees performers receive for these reality shows. It stated that Krushna receives Rs 35 lakhs. I contacted Krushna and asked him to give me some money since he earned so much. This has become a major issue, and resources have been drastically cut. Production houses and cameramen are all struggling. Everyone, including directors, technicians, and producers, says the market is poor. In situations like this, even artists reduce their fees. This is why we decided to create videos on YouTube. Previously, when we were looking for a lead for a show, their daily budget was Rs 5000." Listening to this, Reem Shaikh explained that actors now receive monthly payments. She stated that budgets are only affected in the industry; everything else is becoming more expensive. Reem shared, "Now, a new trend on television is to be paid monthly rather than daily. Actors are recruited for Rs 50000 per month. Then they can have you work for 22 or 30 days, and you will be paid monthly. Actors who don't make a side income from social media suffer. "

Bharti Singh, Haarsh reveal ‘surviving on loans', Reem Shaikh says TV actors are now getting hired for ₹ 50,000
The television industry appears to be facing a crisis, with many shows going off air just months after their release. In their podcast, Haarsh Limbachiyaa and Bharti Singh spoke about surviving on loans and discussed the television industry's struggles with Reem Shaikh. (Also Read: Bharti Singh battles fever, weakness after coming back from Thailand: 'Have been crying since morning') Haarsh feels the "television industry is struggling" as budgets have been reduced and very few big shows like Laughter Chef are being made today that are able to sustain. Reem talked about her struggles and revealed that she thought, after doing Raabta and two more popular shows back to back, she would get paid ₹1.5–2 lakhs. However, due to the budgets being reduced, she hasn't been earning equal to what she has been delivering over the years. Haarsh added, 'We face a similar problem. People see me host a show on one channel and Bharti hosting a show on another channel, people think I would be charging ₹20 lakhs per day, Bharti would be getting ₹50 lakhs per day. That's not true. We are surviving on loans, and if we don't take the work that comes to us, somebody else will.' Bharti quipped, 'We are so much on loans that even when the milkman comes, we think an agent has come to take the loan back." They further talked about how he once saw a report claiming that Krushna Abhishek is earning ₹35 lakh for Laughter Chef and he called him to ask for some money. Reem further talked about how not only have industry budgets been reduced, but all other expenses remain high. Haarsh revealed that many technicians and directors have called him to say there is no budget in the industry, which is why they have shifted to YouTube — they didn't want to rely on the industry for income. Reem revealed that a new trend has begun on TV where, instead of being paid per day, actors are paid monthly. She said, 'Actors are hired for ₹50,000 monthly. Then they can make you work for 22 days or 30 days, and you are paid monthly. Actors who don't have a side income through social media do suffer then.' Bharti and Reem are currently part of Laughter Chef Season 2. While Bharti hosts the show alongside Chef Harpal Singh, the show also features Krushna Abhishek, Kashmera Shah, Rubina Dilaik, Rahul Vaidya, Aly Goni, Karan Kundrra, Elvish Yadav, Abhishek Kumar and others, who cook different dishes while entertaining the audience at the same time.
