That is why people say professional life and personal life should not be mixed. If there is a clear line between the two, life becomes much easier. But in the case of this heroine, things seem to have gone differently.
For the very first film she produced or handled closely, her husband reportedly invested the money.
No one knows what budget was planned at the beginning, whether there were any written agreements, or if the costs changed during production.
But finally, the film did get completed and released.
As usually happens, the team reportedly said outside that the budget increased only because they wanted to do justice to the story and that they spent more than expected for quality.
However, inside circles say the heroine actually completed the film by using only 70 to 80 percent of the money given by her husband.
So, before release, she was able to satisfy her husband financially, at least to an extent.
But after the film released, that happiness did not last.
The main reason is simple; the film turned out to be a flop.
At the end of the day, what matters is the balance sheet, and right now it is reportedly showing losses instead of profits.
In fact, this was never seen as a typical commercial film. It was always clear that the movie would appeal only to a limited section of the audience.
Still, the couple seems to have believed strongly in the subject and hoped that some kind of magic would happen at the box office.
But that magic never happened.
The film reportedly failed in theatres, and the project is now said to be running in deficit. As of now, the only major hope for recovering some money is through satellite rights.
However, those rights are still unsold, and there is no guarantee yet that a deal will happen anytime soon.
That is why, industry circles are now whispering; did this first film create financial tension between the couple itself?
