In the Indian entertainment industry, child actors can earn substantial amounts for advertisements, with daily payments ranging from ₹25,000 to ₹50,000, while TV shows pay significantly less, between ₹10,000 and ₹20,000. The Maharashtra government has established a 25-point standard operating procedure (SOP) aimed at improving working conditions for these young performers, including limits on working hours and educational support. Child actors like Jia Narigara and Inayat Verma report positive experiences on set, with many productions now providing better facilities and care. However, challenges persist, as not all production houses comply with the SOPs, leaving some child actors to endure long hours and inadequate conditions. Education remains a priority, with many child actors managing their studies around their shooting schedules. The Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA) notes that while regulations exist, they are often ignored, highlighting the ongoing struggle for better treatment and rights for child performers in the industry.
