Some of this was aides by actor Vandana Sanjani Khattar and his wife talking about them having exhausting their savings in the past couple of years due to hospitalization and lockdown saga.

About it, he said, “It’s not that I haven’t suffered a financial setback, but hasn’t that happened with almost everyone because of the slowing down of work during the pandemic? Right from Vandana’s pregnancy to now, we have been doing the rounds of hospitals for the past two-and-a-half years. In fact, she was in the hospital even during the lockdown owing to postpartum depression.”

He added, “It was a statement made by Vandana taking into account the kind of money we have spent on medical and hospital bills in recent times. A few hours later, her statement was blown out of proportion and it went viral. People said that I was broke. Mere paas khaane ke paise nahi hain. Soon, I started getting messages from my relatives and others offering to help! Things went out of hand in no time."

On the television front, Khattar last played a key role in Bepanah Pyaarr.
