In the world of showbiz, underestimating oneself is a cardinal sin, as proven by none other than Salman Khan himself in his film 'Ready'. Little did we know that this statement was an embodiment of his past ambitions. This superstar's career kicked off with a modest paycheck of Rs. 75, earned while dancing in the backdrop of a show at the Taj hotel. His big break came in 1989 with 'Biwi Ho Toh Aisi', but it was 'Maine Pyar Kiya' that catapulted him to stardom. Khan revealed in an old interview with PTI that his first salary was Rs. 75, and later he earned Rs. 750 from Campa Cola, followed by Rs. 1,500 for a long time. His remuneration increased significantly when 'Maine Pyar Kiya' paid him Rs. 31,000, which later rose to Rs. 75,000. 'Maine Pyar Kiya', starring Salman and Bhagyashree, earned a total of Rs. 27.50 crore worldwide in 1989, with an Indian gross of Rs. 23 crore and overseas collection of Rs. 4.50 crore. Over the years, Salman Khan's top-grossing films include 'Tiger Zinda Hai', 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', 'Sultan', 'Tiger 3', 'Kick', 'Bharat', 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo', 'Ek Tha Tiger', 'Race 3', 'Dabangg 2', 'Dabangg 3', 'Bodyguard', 'Dabangg', 'Ready', 'Tubelight', 'Jai Ho', 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', and 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!'. Salman Khan's net worth is estimated to be approximately Rs. 2900 crore, with earnings from hit films, hosting 'Bigg Boss', his lifestyle brand, and production house.
