Shocked to find out Amir Khan's wage for this show - Page 7

I would like to summarise in the following three points,

1. Why dont we ask STAR PLUS to telecast the show for free, before stopping Aamir from being paid a huge amount for the show ?

Isnt it the one making huge with the sky high TRPs SMJ gets...

2. Why is a good deed always been expected to be free of cost ?

Good causes never happen because everybody expects it to be done for free and hence nobody steps forward to do something good for the society... why not pay more for them and pay less for the entertainment so that everbody can step forward to do social service as its being highly paid?

3. Why werent these questions been raised when celebrities used to grab huge amounts for other mere entertainment show?

shows like BIG BOSS, DUS KA DUM, JHALAK DIKLAGA which did nothing else than mere entertainment.

For being an eye-opener, I feel 3 crore is way too less,

Aamir needs to be paid more for it...

👏

I think its different when some celebs make crores from doing bakwaas shows, but Aamir Khan is doing a wonderful job of raising awareness of the realities of problems faced in India, that i'm really grateful to him. He's dong a brilliant job, and i can't help thinking this should have been done a long time ago, at least he's taken the time and effort to go out there and do something about tackling these issues.
God bless Aamir!

okay he gets money , we all live to earn some money for our families ? dont we?

You know. I used to think like you until I learned more and experienced more. I still have more to learn and experience, but I am pretty sure I have figured out the answer to this question that I always had.

before giving such stupid reasoning dear let me remind u ds show is result of AAMIR n his team's effort... if he wanted to make money only he would have accepted d offer of KBC 4 which he was offered before SRK ... but he didn't coz he wanted to do something meaningful ... n what u may not know that 6months he has not taken any brand endorsement only for ds show... n for that he has lose a large amount of money what he used to get by doing so... tell me one thing in this money also no star will take the risk of doing a show like this which is informative needed rather will chose something like zor ka jhatka with some stupid entertainment value ... think before u speak ok.. when AAMIR did TZP was der ne star who cud risk toproduce a show with a story of a kid with dyslexia .. till date none has that guts.. none has that dedication that he will give his heart n soul to such a show which may not gv him an easy business .. earning 3crore is not a big deal for AAMIR... dont forget he is d biggest star of INDIA... TIMES has announced him as d most powerful person of India... he use to get highest amount of money in endorsement n films even more than Amitabh Bacchan ... this is not money its his dedication, perfection n desire of doing something good n meaningful which matters... some ppl has tendency of finding out flaws or defame people... don't sound like them

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by saying this. I just want to say that, who cares if he is asking for 3 crores for doing this show. Does it really matter and if you think it really matters, then why don't you do what he is doing for free. Why don't you look at it this way that he has spent so much time for this show and he is using his popularity for the betterment of the people.

A man getting paid for his work? Shock. Horror. And here I was, thinking we were supposed to do our job for free.

See, the thing is nobody lives for charity. Well, some people do but they are very rare. It's like saying universities takes lakh of rupees, so I won't graduate. You use cars, bikes, electronics like TV, mobile? You should stop, because their CEOs and shareholders get paid obscene amount of money.

So, since we have established that everybody is not Gandhi, the question is how much? Sad thing is nothing is objective. Market decides what you are worth. Assemble iPhone, you deserve less than minimum wage. Own Apple, you are swimming in billions. Do I think 3 crore per episode is justified? No. But who the hell am I to judge? The channel agreed to pay him, so my opinion means jack squat to them. But this is open market, so everyone is free to create such service that pays that much.

But still he is doing better than others. Film star make movies and earn this much. TV stars also are high paid for stupid, stereotyping shows. But you will happily pay for them. But, Aamir is creating awareness and now you are worrying about his salary?

But nothing of that matters in the end. The show is about social malpractices, not Aamir. Remove Aamir and the statistic reported and the past of victims remains the same. So, if you are focusing on Aamir or his salary, I think you are missing the point.

Umm btw Salman Khan was paid between 3-5 crore per episode of Big Boss. I didn't hear anyone protesting the obscene amount he was being paid. Amitabh Bachchan was paid 2 crores per episode of KBC 5. I didn't hear anyone protesting then either.

So why this hypocrisy?

OHH! and I would rather that Amir got 6 crores per episode than that the rogues of politicians steal the country of hundreds of thousands of crores and still not pass the laws that they are supposed to. Did I hear anyone protesting that the relevant bills about safety of children are not passed but the parliament is quick to pass a bill that stops anyone making cartoons?

Everybody who work,work for money coz its the requirement.Nobody have time 4 doing anything free. Agree with everyword but Pls watch it! As its Gud 2 be Aware! And regarding Crime Patrol of SONY, they are getting High Trps and its made in Less Amount without so Much BIG STAR LIKE AAMIR so Any show wid Gud concept will get Gud Trps! js Encourage it as only it started js nw!
