Sonam Kapoor, who has often been a soft target for trollers, and is always in the limelight for her high-octane fashion updos, had once happily and cordially accepted a remuneration of Rs 11 only for a film.
Yes, you read it right! Rs 11. She charged the amount for her guest appearance in the film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag featuring Farhan Akhtar in the lead role. The director Rakeysh who has directed her in Delhi-6 back in 2009, brought her on board for a guest appearance in the film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
The director also spoke of the same, in his autobiography, saying, “Sonam Kapoor benevolently accepted to play a guest appearance for a princely sum of Rs 11 only for her brief portrayal of Biro.”
He added, “She told me that she is needed for just 7 days for the shoot and she praised us for trying to say something so beautiful, about the partition of this country and the spirit of Milkha Singh. So she wanted to contribute to the film as well. It was very nice of her,”
He also said, that how the actress lit up the screen on her appearances, saying, “Sonam understood that the film was not a love story – it was about a Partition survivor’s tryst with his horrific childhood and that Isri Kaur, the sister, was his only connection to a past that he was reluctant to both own and discard,” as quoted by The Free Press Journal.
