Salman Khan might charge crores for a film now, but did you know that when started his acting journey, he was only paid Rs 11,000 for his debut role? It was a small role in 1988 movie Biwi Ho To Aisi. Khan even wore his own clothes.?
The very next year, he made his debut in a leading role in Sooraj Barjatya's Maine Pyar Kiya. With his first film itself, Salman Khan became a huge rage among the youth. He became a household name.?
"That was the only occasion when Bhai actually put in some effort towards his acting," a user said.
"salman in first audition with the guitar is ??????I love him !!!"
"Emperor of bollywood salman khan ????? we love bhaijaan."
Tijori himself revealed that Barjatya called him and told him that Salman's look impressed the "women in the family" and since it was a romantic movie they were going ahead with Khan.?
"He called me and told me that we saw both the auditions, we¡¯ve loved both of you. (He explained) why we are going for Salman Khan is because the women of the family, they have adored Salman¡¯s looks more than you, though they find as actors, both of you were competent. But because this is a love story, we need that romance. It was totally justified," he told Bollywood Hungama.??
Sooraj Barjatya in conversation with Anupam Kher had once revealed that Salman had auditioned for the lead role in Maine Pyar Kiya. The makers didn't give him a confirmation for six months, and on the other side, Salman kept sending other names to Barjatya for the same role. One of them was Deepak Tijori.? ?
