Celebrities are known to earn loads of money. Not only do they act in the movies but Bollywood industry has opened multiple doors for its inhabitants to earn. While some take it through advertising, brand campaigns, cameos or even modelling, many also open up parallel production houses to make sure that their bank accounts are constantly bombarded with credits. However, even when it is their profession and the right to earn what they are good at, Bollywood celebrities do not let friendships and morals take a backseat. Sometimes they take projects and roles out of respect and friendships and do not let money be the sole motivation behind them.
You will be surprised to know these big projects that these 10 Bollywood celebrities did not charge even a single penny for.
1. Shah Rukh Khan For Bhoothnaath And Bhoothnaath Returns
The actor who is already one of the highest paid actors in the industry did not charge anything for his role in Bhoothnaath and Bhoothnaath Returns.
2. Salman Khan For Om Shanti Om
For the little dancing stint he had in the song ‘Om Shanti Om’ for Farah’s film, Salman did not charge anything. He has also done cameos in Tees Maar Khan, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Son Of Sardaar for free.
3. Kareena Kapoor For ‘Fevikol Se’
Kareena Kapoor surely did a fabulous job when it came to grooving on ‘Marjaani’ for Billu Barber. The actress did the song for free for her friend Shah Rukh Khan. In fact, when the actor sent her a cheque post the shoot, the actress politely returned it back.
4. Priyanka Chopra For ‘You Get Me Rocking And Reeling’
Priyanka too did a cameo promotional song for the movie Billu Barber and her performance in ‘You Get Me Rocking And Reeling’ was a gift to Shah Rukh Khan for the movie.
5. Deepika Padukone For Om Shanti Om
This is, in fact, one of the best examples of being humble and modest! Deepika was launched with her debut movie Om Shanti Om and the actress did not take a paycheck for her role as she considered her kick-starting role in Bollywood as more than enough for her.
6. Katrina Kaif For Chikni Chameli
The actress did the item number Chikni Chameli for free in Agneepath as a friendly gesture to Karan Johar. Belated by that expression, Karan Johar actually gifted her a Ferrari! Well, does that still count as doing a role for free?
7. Sonam Kapoor For ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’
The fashionista of Bollywood had a small but a prominent role in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Though the actress took active participation in promoting the film, she did charge anything but a mere sum of Rs. 11 for acting in the film.
8. Shahid Kapoor For Haider
Shahid Kapoor is known for his phenomenal acting in Haider. When Vishal Bhardwaj came up with the role to him, he was more than elated to have been considered for it. The actor did the role entirely for free and considers it a turning point in his career. And we couldn’t agree any more!
9. Rani Mukerji For Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
The actress is a lucky mascot for Karan Johar and did the role of ‘Naina’ for free.
10. Sonakshi Sinha For ‘Har Kisi Ko Nahin Milta’
The actress has shared the screen with Akshay Kumar in a lot of films like Rowdy Rathore, Joker, Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara, and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty and did a cameo song for Akshay Kumar’s film ‘Boss’ for free.
Well, we might be hearing that the industry is one brutal place but surely friendship and goodwill is still in there!
