These days many jobless types also get to work as anchors on multiple TV channels like I have seen old actors and actresses from 90s working as anchors on channels like Food Food where they anchor shows on dishes for moms, kids or cover cuisine from across the world. Some work on radio, or work as voice over artistes or narrators and dub for others or record educational audio and videos for kids.
Flop singers also invest in real estate or start own music classes or record albums for regional music or bhajans etc.
Some work on stage and theatre. Some become writers or involved in spirituality like Smita Jayakar who played Ash's mom in HDDCS runs her own channel on spirituality.
