Exactly! Since when did paying one's taxes become some sort of an achievement. We all do it. Considering he happens to earn a whole lot more than most folks living in this country, obviously he'll have to pay more tax too..lol hence the highest paying or whatever.

And nobody is making a big deal out of him giving up his citizenship. Some of us are just talking about the double standards that exist here. Because the folks who are defending him would be the first ones to bash had a Khan given up his citizenship. Then the term anti national would pop up instantly:P

There are constant debates on how celebrities and businessmen are evading taxes and how that's impacting India.

Akshay, Mithun are two of few bollywood people who are named by Indian Government as one of the highest 'advance' tax payers

Of course you can argue when being a bit clear and honest (not in talks but in action) are some sort of achievement !!!

Naive...nahhh...that ain't my forte you see! 😉 I'm not the one here claiming to be "innocent" so you should direct that barb towards the folks who are 😃

Shahrukh , SK and so many others have been named in that same list, you see. It keeps changing every year depending on their income. If you happen to earn a whole lot amongst your peers , obviously you'll be on that list. That's common sense. It's your duty as a citizen to pay your taxes. It ain't an achievement by any means. And the ones who evade it aren't doing their duty and a lot of the times are booked for it. Of course rules differ a lot here considering the strata of society you belong to. A Vijay Mallya can evade it and fly out to London and chill out in his mansion there but if the same were being done by a middle class person, they'll be hounded by the same government.

The discussion in this thread has veered off topic to included unrelated actors and attacks on fan groups/members.
