Re: Why can’t we appreciate our stars in showbiz?
Friend, in India the entertainment is really an Industry, and it earns and adds revenue to the country’s income along with all the artists paying back the income taxes, just recently i saw the news that Akshay Kumar is the artist who pays the most highest income tax return that is 30 Crore Indian Rs. in his country the income tax ppl and CBI ppl trace down and keep track of highly paid people and artists when it comes to tax returns. I don’t think we can expect that from our artists or NAB or Income Tax ppl. Only the commoners are forced to pay taxes, even our ministers and politicians show such hilarious and ridiculous property figures that it makes one think that they are even more poorer then a common Pakistani.
It sure is a fact that our artists when they become seniors and have no source of income and even their children are not earning much they are neglected and forgotten. For this Faisal Qureshi along with other artists are doing a very good job by running the Artists Welfare Association of Pakistan. I hope all the artists in our industry would contribute to his nobel cause.
