Budget Blues

It's that time of the year which decides the fate of our hard earned money. The budget for the year 2007 is going public. We ask our TV celebs what they expect from this year's budget.

Rajeev Paul

I would want the budget to help people live a comfortable life. There's no point making huge announcements if it does not help the common man. I hope the price of transportation comes down so that the states could benefit from each other's surplus stock.

Shweta Salve

I wish the new budget could bring down the real estate prices, which have really sky-rocketed. Moreover the tax slab on entertainment should be reviewed to help the sector.

Ronit Roy

Hope the budget this year has many pleasant surprises. The inflation needs to be beaten and I hope the new budget encompasses measures to curb inflation. Plus the economic health of the nation is pretty great and I hope that it would become better with the announcement of the new budget.

Urvashi Dholakia

I hope the new budget is made keeping the majority in mind, who belong to the middle class strata. The budget should help everybody have a good value of his/her hard earned money. I also hope that the price of commodities is brought down.
