Aditya Narayan, a popular child artist in Hindi cinema, revealed he paid taxes at age 7 after earning a hefty paycheck for his role in a Salman Khan film.
One of the most well-liked hosts of television reality series was Aditya Narayan, who gained notoriety mostly for hosting Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. However, it was not his first appearance on cinema; he had previously acted as a toddler in Aamir Khan’s 1995 film Rangeela, followed by Pardes (1997) and Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai (1998), both of which starred Salman Khan. The actor revealed in a recent interview that he started paying taxes at the age of seven. Additionally, he disclosed his revenues from hosting Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.
In an interview with Haarsh Limbachiyaa and Bharti Singh for their Bharti TV YouTube channel. “I had to go through three rounds of auditions before I was chosen as the host,” Aditya Narayan stated. I was given Rs 7,500 for each episode. I was paid Rs 15,000 each day because we shot two episodes simultaneously. I lost my mind! I had no costs and was living with my father when all of a sudden I started spending Rs 75,000 a month. We produced roughly five to six episodes per month.
Narayan also discussed how he abruptly altered his attitude after becoming famous and wealthy. “I was only eighteen, making so much,” he continued. In a season, I produced roughly 52 episodes and earned about Rs 8 lakh. Then, Bharti Singh joked that he wouldn’t host an episode for so much money in the modern era. Aditya went on to say that at the time, he didn’t save any money. But he realized that saving money was crucial when his fees went up to Rs 25,000 per episode. Additionally, he claimed that he and his father, Udit Narayan, had a humorous “competition”: “I was hosting on Zee while he was judging on Sony.”

Aditya Narayan also remembered filing taxes when he was seven years old. “I paid my first tax at seven,” he continued. Although I can’t recall if I ever had a PAN card, I do recall paying taxes. The host added that he received Rs 3.5 lakhs for his work in the Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai movie, which starred Salman Khan and Twinkle Khanna. “This was around 1996-97, and it was a lot of money back then,” he continued. With that money, my parents even purchased a yellow Zen automobile, which I always felt looked constipated.
In the 2010 film Shaapit, Aditya Narayan made his acting debut as the main character. He presented a number of television programs, such as Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L’il Champs, X Factor, and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009. He was the host of Indian Idol 15 recently. He is presently viewed as a Rise and Fall contender.
