FACT FILE
>> Singers these days earn more from their performances at high-profile weddings than their recording assignments.
>> Most actors/ actresses and singers are open to performing or making an appearance as it's easy money.
>> Often singers are paid less money for their playback singing projects; they don't get royalty either.
>> Stars are known to travel with an entourage that includes his /her hairstylist, a make-up person, a secretary and on several occasions, a few family members too.
>> If the event in question is being held outside Mumbai, celebs expect their business class flight tickets and five star accommodation to be taken care of.
