Moolah matters

We often wonder how much celebrities earn; megastar Amitabh Bachchan and comedy king Kapil Sharma have opened up about their first salary. Big B revealed in the premiere episode of Kaun Baenga Crorepati season 11 that his first salary was only Rs 500. He also spoke about the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, sharing that he lived in the city for seven to eight years, as he got his first job as an executive in a firm. After working there for a while, he moved to Mumbai. 

In a recent episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, comedian Kapil revealed that his first salary was Rs 1,500, which he got for working at a cloth printing factory. Actress Kavita Kaushik, on the other hand, took up her first job while in college. “I hosted a show for a channel and was paid Rs 1,500 for a day’s work. They shot five episodes with me. I handed the money over to my mother,” she said.
