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.

"Thought They Were My Fans": Singer-Rapper Rahul Fazilpuria On Gun Attack To NDTV
New Delhi: Haryanvi singer-rapper Rahul Fazilpuria, who narrowly escaped unharmed after assailants fired at him in Gurugram earlier this month, said that he initially thought the attackers were his fans. Fazilpuria, whose real name is Rahul Yadav, told NDTV that he was saved since he reversed his car quickly when he heard gunshots. "The attack was so sudden. At first, I thought they were my fans. Then I heard two rounds of firing...I was saved as I reversed my car quickly," he said. Two shots were fired at the singer's car at Badshahpur Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) in Gurugram on the night of July 14. He was driving through the village in Sector 71 when the attack took place. The bullet reportedly hit the pole installed in the middle of the divider, as bullet marks are seen on it. A total of two shots were fired at Fazilpuria - and he managed to escape both with no injuries. Two days after the incident, a man named Sunil Sardhania - said to be Fazilpuria's close friend - claimed responsibility for the attack in a social media post. He named Deepak Nandal, a music producer, and Indrajit Yadav, an alleged member of the Himanshu Bhau gang, as those involved. According to Sardhania, Fazilpuria had taken Rs 5 crore from Nandal and was not returning it. He threatened to kill one of Fazilpuria's associates every month, for 10 months, if he fails to repay the loan. However, Fazilpuria thinks that the post is "fake". "Those who have taken responsibility for the attack on social Sardhania and Deepak Nandal are my friends. They have worked with me. I think someone has made a fake responsibility post in their name. I don't know the third person named in the post - Indrajit Yadav," Fazilpuria told NDTV. Haryana Police sources identified Sunil Sardhania as a resident of Rohtak with several criminal cases registered against him. In 2024, he had fled abroad on a fake passport. His family members are being interrogated by the police over the Fazilpuria attack. The second accused, Deepak Nandal, is a music producer and rapper in the Haryanvi music industry. He had made many hit songs with Fazilpuria and rapper Badshah such as 'Haryana Roadways', '2 Money Girls', and 'Kar Gayi Chul'. The police have also arrested a suspect named Vishal, linked to the firing incident. 'Got threats' The singer-rapper, speaking to NDTV, said that he received many threats after the murder of Sidhu Moosewala - who was shot dead while driving in Punjab's Mansa district on May 29, 2022. "I got the threats because I had said Sidhu Moosewala's murder was wrong. Earlier, I received threats in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi. No one was arrested. They gave me security for some time, but removed it three months ago. Even when I went to the police station after the recent firing incident, I got a threatening call. I am in danger," Fazilpuria said. According to the singer, threatening artists and singers has become a trend. "This is what is happening these days, someone goes abroad, gets a SIM card there and sends two shooters, this has become a trend," he said. Fazilpuria, a friend of YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 winner Elvish Yadav, was in the news last year when the Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned him in a money laundering case. He had contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from the Gurugram constituency, representing the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP). He, however, did not win and was defeated by BJP's Mukesh Sharma - who secured a victory by a margin of 1.22 lakh votes.

'Janaki V vs State of Kerala' box office collections day 5: Suresh Gopi's film stays steady; mints Rs 4.16 Cr
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Suresh Gopi 's return to the courtroom in 'Janaki V vs State of Kerala' continues to draw attention, with the film holding a steady line at the box office through its first five days. As reported by the Sacnilk website, after a reasonably strong four-day start, the legal drama added another Rs 27 lakhs on Monday, taking its total India net to Rs 4.16 crore. Slow but sure: The film's five-day journey 'JSK' opened on Thursday with Rs 1.1 crore, and while it didn't explode over the weekend, it managed to stay afloat — Rs 1 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 90 lakhs on Saturday and Rs 89 lakhs on Sunday. The Monday dip was natural, but the film still managed to pull in some footfall, especially in evening and night shows.

Cities like Bengaluru and Chennai are showing decent numbers — Bengaluru, in fact, clocked in over 25% occupancy on Monday, far outpacing Kerala's metros like Kochi and Trivandrum. That's a strong sign the film is finding traction among Malayali diaspora audiences too. What's keeping audiences interested? There's something compelling about seeing Suresh Gopi back in his element — suited up, standing tall in court, voice booming with conviction. He's supported by a solid cast including Shruthi Ramachandran, Anupama Parameswaran, and Divya Pillai, all of whom bring emotional depth to a film that doesn't rely on gimmicks. Also the title controversy boosted the film's traction. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo The courtroom drama genre isn't always an easy sell, but Janaki V vs State of Kerala has leaned into its subject matter with sincerity.
