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.

Inside Vivek Oberoi's Dubai home: The ‘money-man' with the net worth of Rs 1200 crore who grows ‘kadhi patta' and collects ‘desi' art
Actor Vivek Oberoi, who started earning from his business endeavours as early as the age of 19, recently opened up his Dubai home to the fans and gave a look inside the 'home away from home' that he and his wife, Priyanka, have built. Situated in the scenic and glorious Meadows, where the prices of a house can range from Rs 11 crore all the way to Rs 50 crore. The house exudes class and panache while paying tribute to Vivek's childhood memories of growing up in Mumbai. Starting with the story behind the house, Vivek credited his wife for the entire episode and said that he is now glad that they didn't move to downtown Dubai, like he initially wanted to. 'I didn't even select the location of this house. All of this – the house, the interior, and the design – all credit goes to Priyanka; she is the boss. Both of us love paintings, but I was the one who chose all the art for the house, all 'desi' painters. The rest of it is all Priyanka. She is in love with the whole 'vintage' and 'homey' style of decor. We are also surrounded by a lot of greenery, and my wife is a 'constant' gardener,' Vivek shared with Curly Tales. ALSO READ: Inside Aayush Sharma-Arpita Khan's apartment where they live in separate rooms: 'Whenever she is upset with me…' He mentioned how the greenery, the paintings and certain things around the house keep their memories of India alive, yet according to Vivek, home is still Mumbai. He said, 'If you ask me where home is, it is still Mumbai, because even now when I go back there, I don't feel like returning to Dubai. But I love living here as well, and I think it's trying to have the best of both worlds. We have tried to recreate a lot of our memories; we are surrounded by a lot of water; we have got the gulmohar trees that I grew up around in Juhu; and we have our own organic garden with curry leaves and some vegetables once in a while.' As an entrepreneur who handles a vast portfolio containing several businesses and is worth more than Rs 1200 crore, Vivek knows the importance of a relaxing home. He mentioned how he slowly eases up as he returns to his home after a long day and how even though handling businesses can be chaotic, he is happy with the life he leads here. Vivek said, 'The move to Dubai was business orientated, and your home should be a place which is very easy on you. Being able to spend time with your kids and come back from work at a reasonable hour. I get to live the 'non-film' life here that I never had in India. We try our best to keep it simple here.' Talking about his 'film' life, Vivek was last seen in Kesari Veer, alongside Suniel Shetty and Suraj Pancholi, and has several projects currently in the pipeline.

On the first episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, the actor shared, 'Ye jo Tere Naam ka jo look hai, woh actually inspired tha Abdul Kalam saab se aur uss dauran I think Rahul Roy ka bhi same hairstyle tha. I thought ki jo small town hero hota hai na, unke humesha lambe baal hotey hai. The yesteryear heroes all had long hair, toh waha se ye aaya tha. (My hair in Tere Naam is inspired by Abdul Kalam sir, even Rahul Roy had the same hairstyle. I thought a small town hero would have long hair like this. The yesteryear heroes all had long hair, which inspired me).' The third season of The Great Indian Kapil Show kicked off with Salman as a guest on 21 June. Recent work Tere Naam, directed by Satish Kaushik, is a remake of Bala's 1999 Vikram-starrer Sethu. Bhumika Chawla made her Hindi debut with the film. The film was a moderate success at the box office, with criticism for the way Radhe treats Bhumika's character, Nirjala, but Salman's performance is considered one of the best in his career. After the 2023 film Tiger 3, and cameos in 2024 films Singham Again and Baby John, Salman starred in AR Murugadoss' Sikandar this year.
