There are so many legends in Indian cinema and music who lived a poor(financially) life..Ust Bismillah Khan has been mentioned in one of the threads here(a recipient of Bharat Ratan, the highest award bestowed by by the Govt of India..Bharat Bhushan is another one which comes to mind....The greatest punjabi poet Shiv Batalavi use to live hand to mouth during his last few days..Can you tell about other legends of  Indian film Industry who may be in the same boat...

Phenomenal Singer Rajkumari whose Ghabarake Joh Hum Saar Ko Takaraye Toh Accha Tha... from Mahal is still an unparalled classic! 😭

Kukoo, the Helen of yester years. 😭
