Veteran actress Anita Kanwal, 72, denies reports claiming she faces a financial crisis or is seeking monetary assistance, saying such claims misrepresent remarks she made months earlier. In videos shared online, she says comments about how long she could manage without work were taken out of context and that the coverage left her distressed and unable to sleep.

Multiple outlets report that Kanwal links the controversy to an interview with journalist Vickey Lalwani recorded about six months ago. She says her savings and capital could run low amid rising costs and that she needs to keep earning through acting work, while also stressing she does not want to depend on her children. She also says she has since secured a film project, started receiving Instagram collaboration offers, and created a reel drama series.

Some headlines and summaries focus on her denial of “seeking help,” while others emphasize her descriptions of spending pressure and funds running low. Together, the coverage centers on her response to media portrayals and her explanation of the timeline and context for her remarks, with outlets varying mainly in how they frame the severity of her finances.
