Superstar
Salman
Khan
says
he
wasn't
paid
lesser
than
his
1994
blockbuster
Hum
Aapke
Hain
Koun..!
co-star
Madhuri
Dixit,
as
suggested
by
veteran
actor
Anupam
Kher.
Anupam
was
running
a
gender
equality
initiative
on
Twitter
when
a
woman
mentioned
about
the
pay
disparity
in
Bollywood,
to
which
the
"Baby" actor
replied:
"I
agree
in
certain
cases
it
is
true.
But
Madhuri
was
paid
more
than
Salman
in
HAHK
('Hum
Aapke
Hain
Koun..!')"
Asked
about
Anupam's
statement
at
a
press
interaction
here,
Salman
initially
claimed
that
he
wasn't
aware
of
it,
but
later
replied:
"I
don't
think
it
is
true."
Salman
was
present
at
a
dance
reality
show
with
actors
Sooraj
Pancholi
and
Athiya
Shetty
to
promote
their
upcoming
film,
Hero.
Regarding
disparity
in
remuneration,
Salman
said
"It's
all
about
what
people
want
to
see."
"The
busier
you
get,
the
more
people
want
to
see
you,
that's
how
your
price
increases.
So
if
you
can
pull
off
a
solo
hero
or
solo
heroine
film
on
your
own
and
the
producers,
exhibitors
and
distributors
make
that
money
then
the
producer
doesn't
have
any
problem
sharing
that
money
with
you.
So
you
can't
demand,
you
need
to
command
that," he
added.
