Actor Ronit Roy has mentioned that whereas the salaries of Bollywood’s prime stars and celebs have doubled in the course of the pandemic, the poor working within the trade are dealing with the brunt of the pay reduce. “I’ve confirmed that each one the A-listers have doubled their charges, and garibo ka paisa karte rahe hain (they’re chopping the salaries of poor individuals). This is one thing very fallacious that’s occurring in our trade.” Ronit, who has been outspoken on cash issues, mentioned in a brand new interview.
“It’s all bulls**t when they try to cut salaries of people who don’t come from such rich backgrounds. A lightman has to run his house, what will you get by deducting his salary? Pay cut hai to A lister ka pe cut karo na, why are you trying to focus only on poor people for this? This is not right,” Ronit instructed Hindustan Times.
He had earlier talked about how he personally confronted monetary disaster in the course of the pandemic. Ronit, who runs a safety company and has a number of Bollywood stars amongst his shoppers, had mentioned that aside from a handful of actors, everybody determined to again down. “At the time of my monetary disaster, it was solely Akshay Kumar sir, Amitabh Bachchan sir and Karan Johar who supported me, the remaining ran, ‘Covid ke baad dekhne (we will see after Covid)’. Now, I’m wondering the place will these individuals take Rs 5000 or Rs 10,000 crore.” However, Ronit opted to maintain 125 of his workers on the rolls and dipped into his financial savings to pay their salaries.
Talking to indianexpress.com, Ronit had described the previous 12 months and a half as a interval of mourning for most individuals. “One and a half years of mourning has passed. There are many lessons to be learned from this. I have been a recluse for a decade and a half now. I am slowly letting go of the chain that binds you to life or society. For a decade and a half, me, my family, my work and my health have been there. Nothing else. Those are the only things I focus on. Yet there are some lessons I learned that were refreshing. Sometimes you doubt yourself. But in this one and half year I have come to believe that I am on the right track. Sometimes what is ours is not ours… and what is ours is with us but we cannot see. So, the vision is clear and the thoughts are clear,” Ronit had mentioned.
