Soni Razdan Receives Delayed Payment from Vidhu Vinod Chopra for Khamosh
Soni Razdan shared how director Vidhu Vinod Chopra paid her for the 1986 film Khamosh a decade after its release. Although the film was not a commercial success initially, it gained cult status after its television rights were sold in the 1990s. Chopra had promised to pay the cast once he recovered the film's costs and fulfilled this promise by sending Razdan a cheque 10 years later, a gesture she described as deeply meaningful. Khamosh featured an ensemble cast and was Chopra's second feature film.
