Bollywood actor Salman Khan was the first to ask for money to perform at award shows. Earlier, actors performed only for awards, not for pay. Anil Kapoor said he did not charge because he did not know actors got paid. After the film Maine Pyaar Kiya, Salman was promised a Best Actor award but it went to Jackie Shroff. Salman refused to perform without payment. He then asked for more money than first offered and told other actors to do the same. This changed how actors are paid at award shows. Salman’s recent film Sikandar earned ₹184.6 crore worldwide. He will next appear in The Battle of Galwan, about the 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese troops.
