We don’t get paid for singing in films: Neha Kakkar on Bollywood songs

Neha Kakkar, the voice behind famous songs like Dilbar, Aankh Maarey, Kala Chashma and many more, says that singers hardly ever get paid in the film industry. “We don’t get paid for singing in Bollywood at all. What happens is they feel that if we give a superhit song, the singer will earn through shows,” Neha told IANS.

The 31-year-old added: “I get a good amount from live concerts and everything, but Bollywood doesn’t have this scene. To make us sing a song, they don’t pay.”
