Saumya Tandon popularly known as ‘Gori Mem’ of Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain has decided to call it quits. In an exclusive chat with BT, she said, “ Yes, I have decided to not renew my contract further. Tomorrow (August 21) is my last day of shoot. Finally, people can stop speculating whether I will continue on the show or not.”
There has been rumours doing rounds of Saumya quitting the show due to ongoing pandemic and subsequent pay cuts. But she has rebuffed these swiftly saying, ” Not continuing with ‘Bhabi Ji…’ was not an impulsive decision. Yes, it is true that I was anxious after my hairdresser tested positive for coronavirus, and I did not want to put my elderly mother and one-and-a-half-year-old son at risk. But, I have completed my notice period. My producers(Sanjay and Binaifer Kohli) were very co-operative and I have a great rapport with them. They have been great producers and respect them a lot. As far as pay cut is concerned, in these times, people have to accept that the economy has been hit. I am not leaving the show because of monetary reasons,” she shared.
She further elaborated on her future plans , “I want to be part of well-written stories. People are writing good scripts on other platforms; even Bollywood is experimenting with good content. I will miss the entire team of ‘Bhabi Ji…’, but I have to push myself out of my comfort zone and take new risks in life.”
