Krishna opened up about battling depression and blamed the makers of ‘Shubh Shagun’ for her anxiety. She admitted that she is going through “tough times” and accused the producer of the show of harassment.

“I never had the courage to speak my heart out but today I decided not to hold it back anymore. I am going through tough times and the last one and a half years was not at all easy for me. I was depressed, anxious and cried my heart out when I was alone. It all started when I started doing my last show “Shubh Shagun” for Dangal TV. That was the worst decision of my life. I never wanted to do it but I listened to others and signed the contract. The production house and the producer @kundan.singh.official has harassed me so many times (sic),” she wrote.

The 31-year-old actress further claimed that the makers of the show locked her in a makeup room once when she was unwell and unwilling to shoot. She further accused them of not clearing her dues and alleged that a “big amount” has not been paid by the production house to her yet.

“They even once Locked me in my makeup room bez I was unwell and I decided not to shoot bez they were not paying me for my work plus I was unwell, they were banging my makeup room’s door as if they will break it, when I was changing my clothes. they never cleared my payments to date for 5 months. And it’s a really big amount. I have been to the production house and Dangal office but they never entertained me. Also was given dhamki many times,” she continued.

Krushna argued that she feels unsafe and concluded by saying, “I felt unsafe broken and scared throughout. I feel unsafe I asked for help from so many people but nothing. Nobody could do anything about it. People ask me why I am not doing any show. This is the reason. I am Scared what if the same thing happens again?? I need justice (sic).”
