Kunickaa Sadanand, known for her participation in 'Bigg Boss 19', addressed the ongoing issue of delayed payments for new television actors in India. She explained that payments often take 45 to 90 days due to the corporate structure of the industry, where money flows from advertisers to channels and then to producers. This delay has been a long-standing problem since the television industry's boom. Kunickaa suggested that actors should negotiate their fees higher to offset the impact of these delays, although she cautioned that even a small increase, such as ₹500, could result in being replaced by another artist. She emphasized the need for a buffer system to ensure timely payments, noting that larger production houses like Balaji should ideally be able to pay their artists on time. This issue has been echoed by other industry figures, including Varun Badola and Arjun Bijlani.
