M aziz, and even shabir kumar has been in a bad state financially, not everyone is living a high standard lifestyle, and yeah composers too come in this category, same thing apply hear composers who are performer now are earning their bread and butter and majority of composer are now turned performs these days,
Amit Kumar is doing shows, I have seen him. I know about M Aziz and Shabbir Kumar. They might've had certain savings as well, knowing that royalties were uncertain. But the ones who haven't done much work will face a problem, that's a given.
I am talking about all composers. They became singers because they can earn more money that way. That is because there were no royalties till that time. Also the older generation did stage shows coz they are earning more money.
The newer generation faces another problem, their songs are usually forgotten so from where will the royalty get generated ? Songs should have longevity too right.
