This is Vijayalakshmi.
She is a famous South Indian actress. She has acted in around 37 movies including Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
She has acted with almost all the big names of every South Indian film industry like Vishnuvardhan, Shivarajkumar, Raghavendra Rajkumar, Upendra, Mohan Lal, Vijay, Suriya, Arjun Sarja and so on.
She has also acted in a number of serials and hosted quite a few successful game shows.
Basically, every South Indian movie buff would be quite familiar with her.
Today, she is admitted in a hospital and is seeking monetary help from anyone she can. She says she doesn’t even have a house to go back to.
What happened?
How did such a successful actress fall from her grace?
Simple. When you are riding the high horse, you wouldn’t think of what would happen if the saddle comes loose. Basically, no investment for the future.
Sure, an actress has to splurge a considerable amount of money in terms of fashion and status to keep herself employable. But what happens when you are no more employable?
This situation can be averted by judicial investment of your finances.
A supporting actor for a serial today is paid around 3000 per episode excluding food and transport. So the main character will be obviously paid at least twice of that. For simplicity sake, lets consider it as 6000. Multiply that with 500 episodes (one of her serials ran for 845 episodes). 30 lakh rupees. And this is a conservative estimate. Main actresses get paid a lot more than that.
A 30lac investment over a period of 10 years in an SBI mutual fund would have generated 94lacs!
She is crying and blaming all her co stars that no one is helping her. They probably should, but how can you think that they owe you something?
Hopefully she gets better and gets back to the stardom she had achieved and this time build a better future.
