Actress-turned-entrepreneur Parul Gulati became a laughingstock on the popular subreddit Indian Workplace when she boasted about allowing employees to dine at the same table as her. In an interview, Gulati spoke at length on how she had learned to pay her employees in money rather than do them favours. She admitted that earlier she used to pay less and thought that she would make up for it in other ways.
“Don’t do extra favours such as serving them at the same table as you. They are not counted. Pay them the amount they are asking for,” she stated.
Netizens React
This statement did not go down well with netizens. One Reddit user quipped, “What does she even mean by that? Entitlement is on the next level.”
Another wrote, “Who even wants to eat on the same table as her?” Another thought she made a valid point and explained that at the end of the day, employees work for a salary. While it's thoughtful and even admirable to share meals and create a sense of equality at the workplace, those gestures alone aren't enough to retain talent. If another company offers a better financial package, most people will choose to leave, regardless of the camaraderie or shared lunches. When that moment comes, the memory of sharing biryani won’t be enough to keep them from moving on. That’s essentially the message she was trying to convey—loyalty often follows financial security.
Gulati made headlines recently, as she revealed she was cheated by her executive assistant.
On July 21, 2025, Parul shared a detailed account on her LinkedIn profile about a troubling experience involving her assistant. In her post, she revealed that the assistant, who had been employed with her for the past year and was responsible for managing communications, running errands, and overseeing financial transactions, had been deceiving her.
Due to repeated incidents of misconduct, including theft and major violations of trust, Parul made the decision to end the assistant’s employment. She explained that she had noticed frequent disappearances of cash and Nish Hair products, which she later discovered in the unauthorized possession of the assistant, identified as Swara Parekh.
Parul further disclosed that Swara had gone as far as sharing her credit card information with an external party, breaching confidentiality and professional ethics. This series of events ultimately led Parul to take firm action and publicly address the matter.
