Sooraj says actors pay to be on top podcasts
In a podcast with Hindi Rush, Sooraj mentioned, “I have heard that there are a few actors who charge about ₹30 lakh to do a podcast. Is this true? I am just wanting to know because I have come here for free. Pay me at least ₹30,000,” Sooraj said jokingly.
However, the podcasters laughed and said that the tables had turned. Sooraj quickly clarified and said, “Yes, I have heard that too, that the podcasters who have good viewership charge ₹30 lakh to get you on their podcast. I have received such offer too. But it makes sense as they give you viewership. They have put immense hard work to grow their page so I think why not.”
