After their successful stints as actor, Ravie Dubey and Sargun Mehta are now also the owners of a production house which is known for churning out some of the most popular shows on television and OTT. However, it was not a cakewalk, and Sargun recently revealed how the couple was duped of a whopping Rs 70 lakh only days before their first production venture, Udaariyaan, went on air.
During a chat with Pinkvilla, Sargun recalled, "During Udaariyaan, we emptied our accounts. And humara jab set baan raha tha, kisine fraud kiya Rs 70 lakh."
She went on to say, "I remember stepping out of the set and Ravie was shooting for Matsya Kaand. I had a huge fight with the art director, and my security was holding me only because I was so angry at them. And humara show on air jaane wala tha 15 din mein. And it looked like a blank floor."
Sargun revealed that she then had a major breakdown in the car and questioned whether becoming producers was the right decision. But it was Ravie who kept calm during the situation. "He said nazar utar gayi, aa jaayega, kaam karo. We will earn it again," the actress recalled.
"Those 4-5 months were a nightmare," she added.
Udaariyaan went on to become one of the most loved shows on television and it starred Isha Malviya, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Ankit Gupta and Abhishek Kumar in the lead.
Ravie and Sargun are also the producers of the shows currently raking in the numbers on Youtube -- Dil Ko Rafu Karr Lei and Lovely Lolla.
