MEET BROTHERS ON PAY OF PLAYBACK SINGERS
When asked about the pay gap for playback singers, Manmeet said, “ I will not agree to it, Humari industry mai jo acha kam karte woh acha paisa karate hai.Logo ko paisa deke music sunne ke aadat nahi.”
Adding on to the fight and controversy on the pay parity, Harmeet said, “Kahin na Kahin iss bata mai thodi si sachai hai mere hisab se. Hum shows se paisa kamate hain. Music director ko budget come milta hai.” He also divulged how music directors work on a single music video for months or years with other artists etc while singers record the music and go. Hence the budget is spent on collaborating on the things as singers tend to earn from shows, added Harmeet.
Lastly, spilling beans on what could have been their alternative careers, Manmeet said he would have been a chef while Harmeet would have been somewhere into the hospitality realm.
