I wanted ki jitna do ghante me hota sakta hai, dusting, kapde, jo ho sakta hai, woh sab aap karenge gharka (I don’t know, like, for two hours of work — which includes sweeping, mopping, and doing the dishes — I wanted that whatever could possibly be done within those two hours, like dusting, laundry, and other household chores, would all be taken care of).”Kirti shared, “She was charging me Rs 10000.” The actress went on to say, “I was like tum do ghante aa rahi ho aur tum apne hisab se jitna kaam hota hai kar rahi ho…and then you are charging me 10000 bucks for what? At that point, we were like, kya humari shakal dekh ke matlab aisa ho raha hai ki, inke paas toh honge, thodasa aur mang hi lete hai (I was like, you’re coming in for two hours and only doing as much work as you feel like… and then you’re charging me Rs 10,000 for what? At that point, we were thinking, ‘Are they looking at us and assuming we must have money, so they might as well ask for more?’)”
