  • @Darth kSHITij

    Our Queen dances at weddings and gets paid by a brown envelope which could be either black money or a black lungi but nobody knows for sure… !

  • greedy actor at no.2 ….he is most greedy star….he do maximum movies because of money..he endorse many products because of money…he criticise award shows many time but goes in them to perform just because of money ….shame akki fans??

    Cashing on his 2008 success…

  • Tax paying is not important.CHARITY is important.KING KHAN IS NO.1.

    criminal khan is fooling people,he is no. 1 in spending money in court,bloody criminal,rofl.

  • @Indicine : Please clarify that if according to Forbes list SRK is on top among biggest earners (India celebrities) for year 2015 then how can he is at 4th among Tax payers for the same year ? Usually Tax returns are files from April to March period, as far as I remember SRK did not have any release between Jan-March 2015 and IPL started later in April. Either his income reported on Forbes is not accurate or he is under valuing his income while filing Tax. No matter how many Tax saving schemes and insurances he takes to save the tax he should be among Top 2 tax payers.

  • Guys whatever, I respect for this..
    Their contribution always help india.
    However some pay full tax, some pay few, some pay very few to compare their annual revenue, But they pay.
    Reality is that Ki
    ” Almost People India me Tax Nhi Bharte ”
    Ham sab Bhi Nhi

    And
    More Respect To Akshay Kumar , After 2006 he is Second for Second Time Otherwise He Always Topped The List.
    Srk & Salman 2nd or Third
    Salman & Srk topped the list Once.

    Amitabh sir Always be in the top 3 In Highest Paid But Never in Advance tax.

    & On
    On

    On Intolerance
    – India is A Tolerant Country. everybody Have Right To Speak But In Limit.
    but Many Times Many of Popular Faces Speak Out Of Limit .

    Go On Twitter & Watch many of disgusting people speak Bad About Our PM, President , CM’s . I Never seen Any Case that some body had sent To Jail.

    India intolerant nhi hai.
    kya kabhi kisi ne aap ko ghar me ghus me mara ya bahar nikala h? Nhi.
    Aur Na hi ESA Koi Kar Sakta h.
    Incidents har Country me hote h.
    Par hamare yaha bus indicidents ko political Color de dia jata h.
    Politicians Apne Fayde Ke Like Har Incident Ko religion Factors De Dete h
    Aur Ham sab Blinds Ki tarah Ek Dusre Ke Khilaaf, WO bhi bina soche samjhe.
    We Indians Should Change this.

    BAHUT SI JAGAH DEKHE HAI MANDIR , MASJID AUR GURUDWARE EK SAATH.
    PAR NHI DEKHA TO KABHI BHAGWAN , ALLAH AUR RAB KO LADTE HUYE EK DUSRE KE SAATH.

    WO MANDIR PAR BHI BHETHTA HAI WO MASJID PAR BHI BETHTA HAI.
    AEY PARINDE BATA TO TERA DHARM KYA HAI

    Hindustan Zindabaad

  • Awesome. Salman & Akki both dominating…Where is Aamir ? Or is he not paying tax,,,you never know, how can otherwise amitji and ranbir be paying more taxes than Aamir ? Something is fishy

  • According to Forbes and his fans Mr srk earns the most among Bollywood stars. But he is at no 4 in tax payers list. That’s mean he is doing tax CHORi for sure..

  • Aamir and SRK are doing tax chori … Lol and they call themselves patriot

    We keep on comparing box office numbers but at least Akki salman are paying their dues to nation

    Who will agree that Ranbir has more tax to pay than SRK and Aamir ? Amitji I agree due to kbc is minting money

  • I hope income tax department is seeing how much SRK paid how much Aamir paid

    I can’t believe Ranbir can pay more than SRK when SRK has so many other sources of income like ipl while Aamir takes so much for each episode of satuamev jayte

  • @sunny Leon ki chuchi:
    (Dabau kya) don’t compare your akki with superstar Ranbir. Ranbir has already given a 180cr grosser but your akki has been struggling to go past even 80cr mark since last 6-7 attempts.. .LOL.

    @mechanik:
    So according to you tax paying is not important but doing tax CHORi is the most important thing in the world… LOL
