Actress Mama Baha says 'Machachari' stars stopped making money from the show after they stopped doing production.

Speaking to online media, she said the contracts they signed 10 years ago, did not allow them an opportunity to continue earning after the program was over.

"The programme is not ours, it's theirs, and it is unfortunate that we didn't sign the royalties contract at the time," she said.

"So there is nothing much we can do. We have to accept the outcome because the company can do whatever they want to do with it. It's been like 10 years and things have changed over that period."

A few years back, Tahidi High actor OJ called out his former bosses at Citizen TV for using his content and photos, yet he is no longer working for them.
