A businessman offered me Rs 25 lakh a month 'to become his salaried wife': Neetu Chandra

Chandigarh, July 14

Actress Neetu Chandra has claimed that a businessman had once offered her Rs 25 lakh per month “to become his salaried wife”.

Speaking with Bollywood Hungama, Neetu said, “Meri story ek successful actor ki failure story hai (My story is a failure story of a successful actor). Having worked with 13 National award winners and in such big films, today I have no work. I was told by a big businessman that he will give me Rs 25 lakh per month and that I have to become his salaried wife. I neither have money nor work. I’ve become worried, I feel unwanted here after doing so much work.”

She said: “Ek casting director, kaafi bada naam hai but main naam nahi bolna chahrahi hun, audition ke time pe hi matlab, ek ghante ke andar usne bola (A casting director, who is quite famous but I don’t want to take the name, told me within an hour of the audition), ‘I am really sorry Nitu, this is not working out’. You literally audition me, to reject me taaki aap mera confidence todh sake (so that you can break my confidence)?”

Neetu first film was “Garam Masala”. She also worked in “Traffic Signal”, “One Two Three”, “Apartment 13B”, “Oye Lucky Lucky Oye” and “Kucch Luv Jaisaa”.

“Oye Lucky Lucky Oye” and “Mithila Makhaan” won National Awards.

Neetu made her Hollywood debut with “Never Back Down: Revolt”. She is said to have signed two more projects.
