Follow UsBack in 2021, in an interview, Kangana Ranaut claimed to be the highest tax-paying actress in Bollywood. She said, “Even though I come under the highest tax slab and pay almost 45 % of my income as tax, even though I am the highest tax-paying actress but because of no work haven’t paid half of my last year’s tax yet, first time in my life I am late in paying tax.”
But its nowhere true, Bollywood Queen Deepika Padukone now tops the list of the highest tax-paying actress in Bollywood by paying Rs 10 crores in taxes in the financial year 2016-2017 and according to GQ India, since then she has been paying a similar estimate amount.
