Overview
- A short clip from an interview with Bollywood Bubble, shared on social media by Uncut India, circulated widely on Friday and drew immediate online attention.
- In the clip Kulhari said a domestic worker quoted ₹10,000 for roughly two hours of daily work and questioned whether the worker was charging more because she appeared to have money.
- Many social-media users defended the quoted amount as standard for Mumbai and argued it reflected rising costs and the physical demands of domestic work.
- Public figures including Mini Mathur criticized Kulhari’s framing, calling ₹10,000 for two hours effectively below minimum-wage levels, while comedian Vivek Samtani highlighted the low hourly equivalent.
- As of the latest reports there has been no detailed public response or retraction from Kulhari and the episode has renewed scrutiny of celebrity remarks, wage norms for domestic workers, and reputational risks when old interviews resurface.
