Sonakshi Sinha’s web series ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ is currently streaming on Netflix. The actor, who made her debut with Salman Khan’s Dabangg in 2010, recently shared what she asked as her remuneration for the film.
What Sonakshi Sinha asked for her debut film
In Raj Shamani’s podcast, Sonakshi was asked how much money she earns and the actor replied, “I really don’t know because I don’t count it.” She then narrated an incident highlighting how clueless she was about financial matters.
She said, “I will tell you a very funny story about my movie. So they signed me for it and everything was done, almost ready to go. So, one day everybody was there including Salman, Arbaaz and my parents. So, Salman asked me, ‘How much do you want for your movie?’ I was 21 and I was like ‘Give me a Blackberry’ and they all burst out laughing. He asked me how much I wanted to be paid for my first movie and I said I wanted a phone. So, that’s how much I don’t really care.”
She then shared that her parents take care of her finances but now she has also started taking interest in it.
On Salman Khan
When Sonakshi was asked what is that makes Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan such a superstar, the actor replied that they connect with the audience and their commitment to their work. She then spoke about Salman Khan that he is very carefree and committed at the same time.
She said, “He is very carefree but also very committed, it’s a paradox. It’s a full contradiction. I don’t know how to explain it, but I have seen him, he doesn’t care about iska kya hoga, uska kya hoga. He is just so carefree, he does exactly what he wants to do on his time, but he is also just so committed to his work. It’s very strange, I really don’t know what it is but it is what it is.”
