Akshay Kumar is Bollywood's taxpayer number one

Akshay Kumar - Bollywood News
Bollywood Actor Akshay Kumar has taken a giant leap from last year to emerge as the highest tax payer from Bollywood this year, even beating Shahrukh Khan .

Last year, Akshay paid a tax of only Rs 12.5 crores. But this year, after having emerged the most bankable star despite a couple of flops, Akshay doled out a huge tax sum of Rs 31 crores to the I-T department. Shahrukh comes a close second with Rs 30.99 crores as his tax payment.

The third spot is taken by Salman Khan , who’s also made quite a leap from his taxes of Rs 6.7 crores in the previous year to Rs 14 crores this year. Saif Ali Khan , who’s had a busy year, takes the fourth spot, having paid Rs 8.6 crores.

The most surprising is to see the yesteryear star Rajesh Khanna (well, he’s still working in a couple of B-grade flicks) in the top five tax payers, even ahead of Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. Mr. Khanna is the fifth highest tax payer from Bollywood after paying Rs. 6.9 crores.

The sixth spot is taken by Aishwarya Rai with taxes of Rs. 4.7 crores. Kareena Kapoor is placed at number seven after paying Rs 3.7 crores. Abhishek Bachchan comes eighth with a deposit of Rs. 3.2 crores. Singer-turned-actor Himesh Reshammiya seems to be making more money than Amitabh Bachchan . Himesh is at number nine after paying Rs. 3 crores, while Mr. Bachchan paid Rs 1.25 crores. Surprisingly, Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif are not in the top ten list.

The list of top ten tax payers from Bollywood is as follows:

1. Akshay Kumar
2. Shahrukh Khan
3. Salman Khan
4. Saif Ali Khan
5. Rajesh Khanna
6. Aishwarya Rai
7. Kareena Kapoor
8. Abhishek Bachchan
9. Himesh Reshammiya
10. Amitabh Bachchan

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

Shahid Kapoor: I'm waiting for someone special

Bollywood’s man with lightening in his feet, Shahid Kapoor seems pretty chilled out and unfazed by controversies in real life. In town to shoot for an untitled film opposite Anushka Sharma, Shahid seems very comfortable in his skin. While he’s reluctant to discuss about his private life or his rumoured amours with Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan and Sania Mirza, the teen heartthrob says he’s “learnt to take all the rumours with a pinch of salt” and claims he’s just a “regular” young guy after pack-up. Excerpts from an exclusive interview: Kaminey and Dil Bole Hadippa... are set to hit the screens. Yeah. Their release dates are pretty close to each other. Kaminey will hit the screens this month, while Dil Bole Hadippa is slated for a September release. Both are very different films and I’m excited as well as a little nervous. The levels of expectations increase after your previous films have done well at the BO. Jab We Met was a turning point in my career. After Vivaah, I sat home for six ...

Aamir Khan: I love Sachin Tendulkar's intensity

What is amazing about Sachin Tendulkar is that for 20 years he has been able to maintain a level. There has been no dip in his abilities, his application or his passion for the game. I would say very few people could last this long. I've played cricket and believe me, you can't get out of bed for one week after one gruelling match. I saw him for the first time in 1988 when I was shooting at the Brabourne Stadium and he wasn't playing for the Indian team yet. The team was practising at the nets and I was chatting with Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar and a few others. At a distance I could see this kid batting. I was surprised to see that he was middling the ball; he looked so small, and so young. I was zapped. I wondered who this little boy was, who was being allowed to practise at the nets with the Indian cricket team. So I asked Kapil and Vengsarkar, “Who's he? How come I don't know?” They told me he was a new guy called Sachin Tendulkar, who was being seriously consi...
