Actress Manasi Salvi has denied accusations of throwing tantrums on sets, saying she would not have survived 30 years in the industry if she had such a reputation. In an interview, the Dilon Ki Ramleela star called her exit from the show Mahadev & Sons "amicable" and said she left because she was asked to go. "Tantrum hota toh 30 saal survive nahi karti," she said. Salvi had earlier alleged that producer Saurabh Tewari told her the channel did not want her or her character, and claimed her work schedule was irregular for seven months. She said her contract promised 26 exclusive working days a month, but she was used for only 10 days. She also revealed she is taking legal action against the producer over the issue.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Actors in Indian prime-time serials typically sign 26-day exclusivity clauses but are rarely billed for the full month, a practice that can cut monthly income by more than half if the production uses the actor sparingly. The clause is industry standard, not a statutory right, so any dispute over unpaid days is usually settled through civil court or the producers' guild arbitration. Legal action against a producer is uncommon because it blacklists the actor from future jobs, Salvi's decision signals she was willing to walk away. The next development to watch is whether other cast members from Mahadev & Sons come forward with similar schedules, which could force the guild to issue a formal advisory on minimum utilisation.
