Aamdani Atthanni Kharcha Rupaiya? How the recession is affecting our TV stars' budget

Global warming is fine but the world has been sweating with the global financial meltdown. The markets world over have taken a beating with stocks drying up. The impact as usual has been loss of jobs as most companies have opted for stringent cost cutting measures. The Indian entertainment industry too is speaking the same language with even the superstars willing to cut down on their rates. Our TV industry has suffered a lot as it was first hit by the strike and then recession only added insult to injury. Producers are no longer wooing expensive stars but rookie actors have become the order of the day. Many production houses have off loaded surplus labour. Like producers, actors too are treading with caution. Ones with no shows in hand have to be wise and save every penny. Tellychakkar spoke to a few actors on how they are going about managing their money during this recessionary period.
