Just days after content czarina Ekta Kapoor announced her decision of foregoing her salary for an entire year in the wake of COVID-19 crisis, the news is coming in that employees at her firm will be facing 20 – 50 % pay cuts for the next three months.
Yes, you read it right! A popular tabloid reports that employees at Kapoor’s ALTBalaji and Balaji Motion Pictures will face a three-month pay cut to help the company deal with the fallout of the Coronavirus crisis. Reportedly, the wage reduction process has already commenced.

A 30 percent pay cut is being implemented for those with annual pay packages between ₹36 lakh and ₹60 lakh, and the senior management will take only half their pay. The variable pay that is disbursed at the year-end is likely to be delayed as well,” a source in the know informs the publication.
