Amitabh Bachchan Digs Deeper Into His Pockets With a 69% Tax Hike Over 2024, Snatches the Top Spot from Shah Rukh Khan!

Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up because our very own Shahenshah of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, has just added another feather to his already crowded cap! This time, it’s not for his acting prowess or legendary dialogues but for his tax-paying skills. Yup, you heard it right! Mr. Bachchan has emerged as the highest tax-paying celebrity for the financial year 2024/2025. Let’s dive into what makes Big B the baap of tax payments! 😉

In a desi twist of financial heroism, Amitabh Bachchan has managed to single-handedly contribute to the nation’s coffers, becoming the ultimate role model of fiscal responsibility. With earnings that could make even the wealthiest feel gareeb, Bachchan Sahab raked in a jaw-dropping 350 crores this year. And how much tax did he pay, you ask? A whopping 120 crores! Matlab, paisa bolta hai, but in this case, it also pays a lot of tax. 😂

And while we’re at it, let’s not forget that this year’s tax showdown saw Big B dethrone none other than King Khan himself! Yes, Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshah of Bollywood, who contributed a respectable 92 crores last year, has been graciously nudged aside by our Piku star. Amitabh Bachchan’s tax contribution is 30% higher than SRK’s, and he’s jumped from the 4th spot to the numero uno position on the top tax-paying celebrity list. Kya baat hai, sir!

From being the Angry Young Man to the Taxation Titan, Bachchan has shown that at 82, he’s still got the jazz. His leap from 71 crores last year to 120 crores this financial year is a whopping 69% increase. Following him in this tax hall of fame are Shah Rukh Khan, Thalapathy Vijay with 80 crores, and Salman Khan at 75 crores. Looks like Big B is setting the bar high, not just on the silver screen but also in the world of taxes!

Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood mein do cheezein sabse important hai – ek hai entertainment, aur doosra hai… tax! While the former keeps us glued to our screens, the latter keeps the economy ticking. So, next time you watch a masala flick, remember, behind the glitz and glamour, there’s also a lot of tax drama playing out in the real world. 😉

Stay tuned for more spicy Bollywood updates!
