Actor Lakshya, who rose to prominence with The Ba***ds of Bollywood and Kill, had once said that he quit a ₹15000 per day job before venturing into films. Speaking with Ranveer Allahbadia on his YouTube channel last year, the actor had also recalled his father, Romesh Lalwani, telling him his monthly salary was the same amount that Lakshya earned per day.
When Lakshya reacted to quitting ₹30 lakh per month job
On the show, Ranveer said he met film producer Ramesh Taurani, who told him to ask Lakshya, where he “got the guts to quit his job paying ₹30 lakh per month” and choose films. Lakshya had said, “I don’t know. In TV, the system is of per day. We get daily wages, an amount of ₹15000, ₹20000 and ₹25000 every day. My price was quite good then.”
Lakshya spoke about the time when his show Porus had almost ended. “At that time, I called up my father and said, ‘Porus is ending. I’m getting another show and they are offering me this amount per day’. My papa, being papa, coming from a middle-class background, said, ‘Take it, what’s the problem? The amount you are earning per day is my monthly salary. So take it, what’s wrong?” he added.
