Recession has affected ‘bed room’ trade too. An NRI could snatch away a heroine for night just for Rupees One Lakh. She acted as heroine in three to four comedy films.
She is now playing opposite to a comedian, who is playing the role of the hero. Some small time female artistes who carry on with ‘two’ professions too have steeply come down on their charges. Middlemen, however, are not making any compromise on their margins.
Flesh trade with film glamour is surviving, though IT guys have backtracked as potential clients. Small time politicians, who are endowed with deep pockets, have replaced these guys.
