Tulip: Nah. As I said, it wasn't said in comparison to DP's family. PC has always been middle-class & she never attended Uni in the US, she went to a normal public school. I know lots of strictly middle class people who have gone to the best schools, as I said, it's not like in the US.. Being an army family, unless you've family money, means strictly middle-class. For the rest, Gauhar has summed it up well.. I reckon the definitions being different could be a reason.

Er doctors can be filthy rich in this country. Depends on what kind of a doctor they are and how well they can use their profession to run it like a business.

^^In India? Not really. There are many who are, yes, but many who aren't. Depends on the practice & business skill as you said. But in developed countries ALL doctors/lawyers earn very well. It's a given. It's not so in India. And Army doctors generally don't earn that way.

^^I live in India too which is why I said. But army
Doctors aren't generally the same way. Many many doctors aren't, there are few who manage to tough & build influence through clients (like Hansika Motwani's mother who was a top derm etc) but most don't, especially Army docs are shunted from 1 city to the other. Depends I reckon.

One thing I have never understood is why do these stars use the tag of "middle class" as something untouchable or low class or something offensive? Its just a income based tag and how the hell does it matter? Passing off senseless statements like I am proud of it or trying to speak about your rise? So what? Was it insulting when you werent rich?😵

^^No I think they say it to show how normal/achieving they are. No-one says they're rich. I don't think they mean to say it's insulting.

^^^ Ok but the way they word it or make it sound seems like hey I was once a person living in meager income and hey now I am super rich! See I party and wear designer labels too. What is the need to give such statements? Humbleness is exhibited and not broadcasted like this.

Yeah that's what I find out recently, never thought that he is father of Ishaan when both have the same last name, I think he is acting in Bepanaah as Zoya's dad now.

He is not related to Supriya or Pankaj. His father is that Rajesh guy who was neelima's second husband. Shahid is his half brother. And Neelima and Rajesh were both side actors in the television industry at a time when tv stars did not get paid as much. He lived with his mom and for a while shahid was estranged from his mother. So who knows how much money he saw.

Shahid supported him and his mother even before he became a star. He worked as an instructor for Shaimak Dawar. Pankaj Kapur did not contribute at all and his mom didn't have a steady source of income. He has talked about how relieved they all were when he got his first 5 lakh cheque for Ishq Vishq, it seemed like a fortune.

And Shahid didn't have a fancy education either. It shows in his tweets. Especially towards the beginning.
