Amid the string of big banner flops in the film industry and actors charging hefty fees, Alaya F shares deets on the rising cost of living for actors.
Alaya F, the daughter of actress, Pooja Bedi, is one of the most popular actresses among the younger generation. She is also known for her honest and unfiltered opinions on working in the film industry and she often shares details about her filmy family background in different interviews. Recently, Alaya shared her opinion on actors charging hefty fee in her recent interview with Bollywood Bubble.
The failure of Alaya F’s last film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan stirred a debate on whether actors should charge a massive fee of around 100 crore INR when their movie flops. The hefty amount is paid to the actors for their acting and ability to attract the audiences with their stardom. But, neitizens feel the amount is unreasonable when the movie fails to generate a return on investment. Sharing her opinion, Alaya F discussed the extra expenses an actor spends to sustain a career in the film industry, she said:
“Everything is getting so expensive. I am not talking about luxury expenses, I am talking about career expenses. At the start of everyday, there is a hair person, there is a makeup person, there’s a photographer and a stylist – this is already four people who are getting paid for just putting me into this look. Not talking PR, which costs money.

Alaya shared how actors have to spend a lot of money on a daily basis for multiple expenses. They have to pay for PR, media space, styling and more. Likewise, going to events are costly affairs for actors too. She was quoted saying:
I don’t know if I should talk about it but pap spotting also… everything costs money and not just a small chunk of money, these things cost a lot of money. And when you are doing these things on a regular basis like getting ready. For instance, if I have six events to attend in a month, I am paying six times that money to go to these events.”
Despite being in the film industry for four years now, giving commercial and critical hits, Alaya is fighting to get equal respect. In a conversation with Puja Talwar, Alaya was asked about the one change she would want to see in the Hindi film industry. Replying to this question, Alaya said she won't debate on getting equal pay or luxury facilities as some other big stars. But she wants equal respect and feels everyone should be treated equally in Bollywood.
