He’s easily the most respected actor in the business; he’s also the star who’s given Hindi cinema its biggest hit ever. His salary per film is reportedly in the region of Rs 25 crore, but when it comes to paying the people who work for him, his street cred is shaky.
Recently, the actor’s personal security assistant requested a raise since he was to be married shortly and hadn’t had a hike in a year. The actor dismissed the request saying he didn’t get involved in staff salaries. He referred the assistant instead to his trusted chartered accountant, who in turn haggled before handing out a measly increase.
In the actor’s defence, he did attend his assistant’s wedding in a far-flung suburb. But never once enquired, before or after, if he was content with the raise.
