Archana Puran Singh's son gets upset as fan ignores him but recognises their cook: ‘They walked past me'

After sampling Mumbai's best dosas, vadapaos, pizzas, and other food items, Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi ventured out once again, this time to find the city's best idli destination. They were accompanied, as usual, by their two sons, Aaryamann and Ayushmaan, as well as a special guest. Joining them on the episode was their cook, Bhagyashree, who was celebrating her birthday. Bhagyashree often makes appearances in Archana's vlogs, and was once roped into performing a scripted exchange with Farah Khan's cook Dilip.
The group's first destination was the Juhu hotspot Dakshinayan, where they enjoyed two types of idlis. They were approached by several fans as they left, and took out the time to click pictures with them. But Aaryamann was disappointed at being ignored. 'I got a little irritated at the end. People were coming over to take pictures with you guys, and they also asked Ayushmaan if he'd take a picture with them. I thought they would come to me next, but they just walked past me.'

He continued, 'One guy even gave me a look, but then he turned away. I also inched closer to him, hoping he'd ask for a picture with me, but he didn't.' Bhagyashree joined in as everyone laughed at Aaryamann. 'Forget that, one guy was driving past, and he said, 'Didi, didi, main aapki video dekhta hoon'.' Archana and Parmeet couldn't contain their laughter. 'Aaryamann, they recognised Bhagyashree and not you! Haaye mera bachcha,' Archana said. 'But this guy obviously knew I was there, it's not like he didn't recognise me, I was with the rest of you,' Aaryamann said.
They next went to a restaurant called Arya Bhavan. Outside, someone asked Aaryamann if they'd come to the right place, but he thought that they were calling out his name. 'Finally, I thought someone is calling me to take a picture, but they were just asking if they'd come to the right Arya Bhavan,' he said, even more disappointed. 'Yes, I saw that too,' Bhagyashree said with a laugh.

Bhagyashree was paid 5 times more than Salman Khan for Maine Pyar Kiya, her fees was Rs..., Salman Khan got only Rs..

Bhagyashree was paid 5 times more than Salman Khan for Maine Pyar Kiya, her fees was Rs…, Salman Khan got only Rs.. Back in 1989, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan made a remarkable debut in Sooraj Barjatya's Maine Pyaar Kiya. The actor who headlined the romantic drama, was apparently not the highest-paid member of the cast. In fact, his fees was less than his co-star Bhagyashree. Well, actress Parvien Dastur, who portrayed the role of Seema in the film, made this interesting revelation. In a conversation with Bollywood Thikana, Parvien revealed, 'I was paid Rs 25,000 and Bhagyashree was the highest paid at that time. She got Rs 1,50,000 and we were all like 'wow'.' She further added, 'Having said that, the production house of Rajshri never gave a lot of money to actors but our cheques always came to our house. We never had to ask for our money. They would never cheat you of your money. There are people in the industry who do not pay and I have worked with people where I was not paid.' Salman Khan was initially paid Rs 31,000 for his role in Maine Pyar Kiya. However, his renumeration later increased to Rs 75000. The actor once told PTI, 'My first salary was, I think, about Rs 75. I was dancing behind in some show in Taj hotel. One of my friends was dancing there so he took me (and I did it) just for fun. Then it went up to Rs 750 for Campa Cola and then it was Rs 1,500 for the longest time. Then I got paid Rs 31,000 for Maine Pyar Kiya, which was then increased to Rs 75,000 later.' Maine Pyaar Kiya released in 1989 and also starred Reema Lagoo, Mohnish Bahl and Alok Nath among others. Helmed by Sooraj Barjatya, the film was the highest-grosser of the year and became career-altering project for many involved. While Khan became a star following Maine Pyaar Kiya's success, Bhagyashree chose to step away from the film industry and got married.

Salman Khan was paid less than the cheapest iPhone for his debut movie. The actress got five times more

In Maine Pyaar Kiya (1989), Salman Khan earned just Rs 31,000 for his debut role—less than the price of today's cheapest iPhone. Co-star Bhagyashree was paid Rs 1.5 lakh, five times more than Salman.

Despite the modest salaries, the film became a massive hit and marked the beginning of Salman Khan's successful Bollywood career. Tired of too many ads?

In fact, his remuneration for the film was less than the cost of the most affordable iPhone available in India to past interviews, Salman Khan was initially paid Rs 31,000 for his role in Maine Pyaar Kiya. While this amount was later increased to Rs 75,000, his original fee was significantly lower when compared to current prices of the iPhone 16e, Apple's lowest-cheapest in-production model as of 2025, priced at Rs 59,990. His first agreed payment would be considered modest even by today's standards for a leading Salman Khan received a modest sum for his lead role, his co-star Bhagyashree was paid significantly more. Parveen Dastur, who also acted in the film, revealed in a recent podcast that Bhagyashree was paid Rs 1.5 lakh. This makes her earnings nearly five times higher than Salman's original fee. Parveen herself received Rs 25,000, which she considered a generous amount at the time, as industry norms were much recalled that Rajshri Productions , while not known for high salaries, maintained a strong reputation for timely and fair payments. Parveen praised the studio for providing a comfortable work environment that included proper makeup rooms and meals—something not always guaranteed on film sets back Khan had earlier opened up about his initial earnings in the industry. He mentioned earning Rs 75 for dancing in a stage show and Rs 750 for a soft drink advertisement before landing his first major film role. Despite being a debutant, the success of Maine Pyaar Kiya eventually elevated his position in the industry. Still, the payment gap in his first film remains a striking detail in Pyaar Kiya, directed by Sooraj Barjatya, became the highest-grossing film of 1989 and turned into a career-defining project for many involved. While Bhagyashree chose to step away from the spotlight soon after, Salman Khan's journey as a Bollywood icon had just begun.
