Namaste, Bollywood Buffs! Khabree Kiran here with the latest masaledaar scoop from B-town. Buckle up for some spicy gupshup on the paychecks of our favorite stars in the film "Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha." Spoiler alert: it’s going to be a bumpy ride! 😏
Ajay Devgn vs. Tabu: The Great Pay Gap Drama!
Oh ho ho! Bollywood ka asli drama ab shuru hota hai! Guess what? Ajay Devgn, our very own Singham, who played Krishna in "Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha," has pocketed a jaw-dropping amount. Arey, dil thaam ke baitho! This man has gobbled up a whopping 83% of the entire 30 crore salary budget! Yes, you read that right.
Meanwhile, Tabu, who portrays Krishna’s love interest, Vasudha, got way less. And when I say less, I mean, bahut zyada less! Ajay’s paycheck is 733% higher than Tabu’s. Talk about asli inequality! 😜
Tabu Spits Fire! 🔥
Tabu, being the bindass diva she is, didn’t keep quiet. "Why don’t you ask the male actor why you are getting paid more?" she retorted. Wah bhai wah, Tabu! You go, girl! Maybe this question will make people think (finally) about the glaring pay gap in Bollywood.
Ajay Devgn’s Ka-Ching Moment 💰
For those who are keeping count, Ajay charged 30 crores for the sports biopic "Maidaan," but took a slight pay cut for Neeraj Pandey’s emotional drama. Still, his 25 crore fee is no joke. Meanwhile, Tabu got a humble 3 crore. You do the math—Ajay’s fee is 8.3 times higher than that of his on-screen pyaari.
Star Kids & Paychecks: The Saiee and Shantanu Saga
Mahesh Manjrekar’s daughter, Saiee, and TV heartthrob Shantanu Maheshwari also feature as younger versions of the lead pair. But even here, paisa bolta hai! Saiee was paid 55 lakh while poor Shantanu only got 35 lakh. Yeh toh na-insafi hai!
Jimmy Sheirgill’s Sidekick Salary
Last but not least, the ever-charming Jimmy Sheirgill, who plays Tabu’s husband, took home 1 crore for his supporting role. Not bad, Jimmy boy, not bad!
Box Office Blues 🎬
"Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha" hit theaters on August 2 but, unfortunately, it’s not exactly setting the box office on fire. The film’s clashing with Janhvi Kapoor’s spy-thriller "Ulajh" didn’t help either.
Kiran’s Gyan:
Bollywood ka asli mazaa toh yahi hai—big stars, bigger paychecks, and the biggest drama! Kabhi socha hai why heroes get paid more than heroines? Maybe it’s time we flip the script. Until then, stay tuned for more spicy gupshup from your one and only Khabree Kiran!
