This Is How Much Anupam Kher Earned For His First Movie Apman Back In 1981
Coming from a lower-middle-class family in a small town, Anupam Kher had to struggle really hard to make a mark in the Bollywood industry. After many hardships and struggles, he bagged his first-ever movie named Apman. It was the year 1981, over 40 years back, when he worked in a Bollywood movie Apman directed by Ami Asthana. He worked 2 days on the sets of the film and got ₹500 for a day. After coming to Mumbai, ₹1,000 was his first paycheck.

Right after this movie, Ramesh Behl signed Anupam Ji for a movie named Jawaani. He received a grand paycheck of ₹10,000 and decided to spend the entire amount with his brother and friends. Even after ordering a lot of beer, tandoori chicken, and a lot more at Holiday Inn, the bill was only ₹894. The funny thing is that he was quite disappointed as he couldn’t spend ₹10,000 on that day. He shared, “I have never enjoyed money much more than those ₹10,000.”
