Stardom is not an easy thing to handle. Glamorous clothes, gorgeous make-up, fancy cars and foreign trips are all part of showing the celebrity package in Bollywood. However, do all these actors really earn just enough to support their luxurious lifestyles? Clearly, not all of them do. Most Bollywood actresses manage to sustain their expensive lifestyles by making public appearances or by performing at events, alongside making money from the movies they film.
Bipasha Basu and Chitrangada Singh top the list of the most sought-after heroines when it comes to public appearances. Many former A-listers, including Rati Agnihotri, Sonali Bendre and Raveena Tandon, are also flooded with such offers. Television actresses like Karishma Tanna too, are in demand. Most of them always insist on their specified fee, but are open to negotiations at the end of the day. Here’s a glimpse of a few “rate cards” that show exactly how much these apprearances cost.
