Lahore(The COW News Digital)Popular transgender dancer and stage performer Mehak Malik has made a surprising revelation about her professional earnings, drawing widespread attention across the entertainment industry and social media.
During a recent interview, Mehak Malik openly spoke about her performance fees, stating that the amount she charges for a single drama project exceeds the price of a small car. Her remarks quickly sparked discussion about the earning potential of stage performers and the changing dynamics of Pakistan’s entertainment sector.
Responding to a question about her income, Mehak Malik said her earnings from one drama are comparable to the cost of an Alto car. She explained that just as many digital content creators and YouTubers claim they earn enough each month to purchase one or even multiple cars, her situation is not very different.
“From one drama, I earn an amount that can easily cover the price of an Alto car, or even more,” she said, adding that her income reflects years of hard work and consistency in the field.
Mehak Malik further clarified that her performance fee is more than Rs2 million per project. She emphasized that such figures are not exaggerated and are based on market demand, popularity, and the scale of performances she delivers.
During the conversation, the host asked her to compare her earnings with those of senior dancer and actress Nargis. In response, Mehak Malik said she has never met Nargis personally and therefore cannot comment on her remuneration. However, she reiterated that her own fees are well above the two-million-rupee mark.
The revelation has generated mixed reactions online. While many fans praised Mehak Malik for her transparency and success, others expressed surprise at the level of income earned by stage performers. Industry insiders say her comments highlight the growing commercial value of performers who maintain strong public appeal and consistent demand.
Mehak Malik has built a significant following over the years through stage performances, social media presence, and television appearances. Her popularity, particularly among younger audiences, has made her one of the most recognizable names in her field.
Observers note that such disclosures reflect broader changes within the entertainment industry, where non-traditional performers and digital-era celebrities are increasingly commanding high fees, rivaling those of mainstream actors.
Mehak Malik’s statement has once again ignited debate about earnings, recognition, and the evolving definition of stardom in Pakistan’s showbiz landscape.
