Dinesh Hingoo, a veteran comedian known for his roles in over 300 films from 1967 to 2010, has shared that he continues to work at the age of 86 to cover his medical expenses. In a recent video, he expressed the financial difficulties faced by character artists, stating that doctors often charge between ₹5,000 and ₹6,000 for consultations, which is a significant amount for someone in his profession. Hingoo, who has left a mark with his portrayals of stereotypical comedic Parsi characters in films like *Baazigar*, *Humraaz*, *Saajan*, and *No Entry*, emphasized the need to earn money to visit the doctor after a recent injury. Despite his illustrious career, he noted that character artists often do not earn enough, prompting him to accept work when called upon. His contributions to television, particularly during the 1990s and late 2000s, further showcase his enduring presence in the entertainment industry.
