They have been at the top of the television heap for a few years, enjoying immense fame and wealth. But the projects have dried up suddenly, and they have been left without work for over a couple of years. We find out how much the ex-superstars of TV spend to maintain their expensive lifestyle.
Rajeev Khandelwal : He's undoubtedly the most-hyped actor on TV. His show Kahiin To Hoga catapulted him to stardom overnight. But his success began ebbing away when he was thrown out of the show, which was his only claim to fame. His next show, Time Bomb, failed to recapture the magic, and he was left without work.
Life & style: Currently he resides in a rented flat in the suburbs and is said to be paying Rs 20,000 per month as rent. Khandelwal also own a swanky Honda City, whose EMI works out to around Rs 12,000 per month. Isn't that too expensive a lifestyle, considering that Rajeev isn't doing much work?
