Inside sources say that only beautiful faces get good payments. Usually, the pay of the singers is in the music director’s hands. Traditionally, the voice is compulsory but more offers and good pay is being given to those who maintain their beauty and also their figure.
Sometimes, there are singers who offer ‘other services’ to music directors but that is purely upto their personal rapport and understanding. One of the noted singers said “it is not only about having a beautiful voice and a beautiful face, it is also about having an appealing figure and presentable look for luck to benefit and to give a pleasant feel to the music director”. Sad but true..
