“Even though I come under the highest tax slab, and pay almost 45 per cent of my income as tax, I haven’t paid half of my last year’s tax yet. For the first time in my life, I am late,” Kangana wrote on social media.

Kangana Ranaut has said that despite being the “highest-paid actress” in Bollywood, she is unable to pay her taxes on time as she had “no work.” The actor shared on Instagram Story that she is yet to pay half of the tax money she owes the government. Ranaut, who recovered from Covid-19 last month, added that the government is charging her interest on the pending amount but she “still welcomes the move. Time could be tough for us individually, but together we are tougher than the time,” she wrote.
