<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\u201cZindagi mein teen cheezein kabhi underestimate nahi karna \u2013 I, Me and Myself,\u201d said Salman Khan<\/a> in his 2011-released movie \u2018Ready.\u2019 Interestingly, it seems this dialogue was a silent manifestation that Salman practised way before it came out on the big screen and the universe took notice. Thus, Bollywood got a superstar who started his journey with the first paycheck of just Rs 75 and today has a net worth of around Rs 2900 crore. Yes, you read that right: the first salary that Salman Khan earned was Rs 75, which he got before he stepped into Bollywood and became a household name.<\/p>\n The \u2018Dabanng\u2019 Khan of Bollywood, Salman made his Bollywood debut in 1989, with the movie \u2018Biwi Ho Toh Aisi,\u2019 starring Rekha and Farooq Sheikh. The movie did well, but it wasn\u2019t the one that fetched Salman recognition. The same year, he did Sooraj Barjatya’s \u2018Maine Pyar Kiya,\u2019 which helped him garner immense love, appreciation and recognition. These are a couple of things that the world already knows about him, but what many perhaps don\u2019t know is that Salman Khan worked as a background dancer before venturing into movies.“My first salary was, I think, about Rs 75. I was dancing behind in some show in the Taj hotel. One of my friends was dancing there, so he took me (and I did it) just for fun,” he told PTI in an old interview.The journey thus started created history. Salman shared how the amount on his paycheck kept increasing with every project he took. He said, \u201cThen it went up to Rs 750 for Campa Cola (a soft drink brand), 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.”<\/p>\n In 1989, ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ starring Salman Khan in the lead role with Bhagyashree made Rs 27.50 crore worldwide, according to Sacnilk. Its India gross stood at Rs 23 crore, while overseas it collected Rs 4.50 crore. The movie also had Alok Nath, Mohnish Behl, Reema Lagoo and others in pivotal roles.<\/p>\n Speaking of the box office report card, according to the above-mentioned trade analyst site, here\u2019s a list of Salman Khan\u2019s top-grossing films over the years<\/p>\n With several hit films under his belt, \u2018Bigg Boss\u2019 hosting, his lifestyle brand, and more, the \u2018Bajrangi Bhaijaan\u2019 actor Salman Khan is worth Rs 2900 crore, according to Financial Express. The outlet reported that Khan charges Rs 100 crore per movie and earns Rs 250 crore per season of \u2018Bigg Boss.\u2019 Meanwhile, the valuation of his lifestyle brand and production house stands at Rs 235 crore.<\/p>\n Brief on Salman Khan’s net worth.(Image Credit: Instagram)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n DISCLAIMER: Figures presented in this article are derived from various public sources and are considered approximate unless explicitly noted.
