"Jahaan sabko do-do hazaar mile the raise, wahan mujhe ek hazaar mila tha (Where everyone else got two thousand rupees as raise, I got one thousand),' she recalled. 'Mere ego ko lag gaya. Ek toh mujhe maangna pad raha hai, aur phir mujhe wahi nahi mil raha jo doosron ko mila. Kya main itni important character nahi Hoon (My ego got hurt. I have to ask for something, and then I am not getting what others got. Am I not such an important character?)?" she said that moment made her vow never to ask for a raise again, even though others around her continued to get regular increments. 'Toh maanga nahi. Baakiyon ka toh lagataar raise hota rehta tha,' she said, pointing out how others went on to become more successful than Bhattacharya was part of the original ensemble cast of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu', which starred Smriti Irani in the lead role and went on to become one of Indian television's most iconic daily soaps.
