Indian Pornhub star Nandita Dutta aka Nancy Bhabhi earned USD 35k to 40k each month, made Rs 5 crore annually

Kolkata: Actor Sagarika Shona Suman today alleged that porn star Nandita Dutta aka Nancy Bhabhi, arrested recently by the Kolkata police, was earning Rs 30 to Rs 35 lakh per month. Her annual income from all porn-related sources including private online shows, streaming and porn clips is in the range of Rs 5 crore, Sagarika claimed.

“Most of the Indian porn stars have shot hundreds of porn films over the last 2 to 3 years, ever since OTT apps became popular. While all Indians were struggling for oxygen during the first and second Covid waves, these porn stars were making Rs 15 to 25 lakhs each month, said Sagarika Shona Suman, explaining that actors like Tina Nandy and Soniya Maheshwari charge Rs 60k to Rs 90k for a 6-hour porn clip shoot that includes sexual acts. Other actors were charging Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh per shoot even during lockdown in Mumbai, when we were all struggling to buy essentials.”

“These porn stars earn Rs 15 to Rs 25 lakh per month, from porn shoots, live streaming, private online sex shows, etc., thanks to the millions of sexually starved Indian porn consumers who pay anywhere from Rs 199 to Rs 2000 per month as subscription fees to the porn apps. The porn industry is as bad as drugs. It’s a chronic psychological addiction. And the purveyors of such mass moral corruption should be dealt with the strong arm of the law and not with kid gloves. They should not be treated as victims,” Sagarika who launched her NGO Naya Savera Seva Samiti appealed.

She said that through this media note, she appeals to the Mumbai Police Commissioner and the Jt CP (Crime) to arrest all the porn stars, including those who have fled Mumbai.

She revealed that after the February crackdown in Mumbai, porn stars like Tina Nandy, Nandita Dutta aka Nancy Bhabhi and several others fled to Kolkata and set up their biz there, using cheap labour in the form of struggling girls from West Bengal and Assam to run their porn production lines. Most porn clips feature a known porn actress and other unknown struggling actresses, who are the victims in this case, as they are often threatened or cheated and conned into shooting such films.

Many innocent girls were sexually exploited, even by the female porn actors. Sagarika mentioned the name of a model Cherlyne Martins who was propositioned and asked to compromise with three persons – the producer, director and OTT owner just for an OTT film project.

Speaking to media persons in Mumbai on Tuesday, actor Sagarika Shona Suman requested the Mumbai police and Indian law enforcement agencies not to treat porn actors (both male and female) as victims and let them off the hook easily.
