Things were not going the right way, and the situation got worse after his wife contracted acute glaucoma, due to which her eyesight started deteriorating.
Resham stated that he is in serious need of work but there have been 0 opportunities for him ever since the pandemic began. The actor shared that CINTAA (Cine & TV Artistes Association) did extend a helping hand but it was not enough to keep him and his family in a good condition. “I am broke, I need financial aid,” he added.
