Madhuri Dixit Almost Admits To Getting Paid More Than Salman Khan In Hum Aapke..; Says ‘Yeh Baat Chalne Do’

Sooraj Barjatya’s Hum Aapke Hain Koun is considered one of the most iconic movies in Bollywood.

The multi-starrer movie had many interesting behind-the-scenes stories that left the audience amused. One such instance was when Anupam Kher asked Madhuri Dixit whether she got paid more than Salman Khan.

In a clip that is going viral on Reddit, Anupam Kher on his talk show asks Madhuri Dixit, “Maine suna hai aapko Hum Aapke Hai Koun mein Salman Khan se zada paise mile the?”. Reacting to that question, Madhuri breaks into laughter. While she doesn’t exactly answer Kher’s questions, she said, “Well, agar ye baat chali hai toh chalne do”.
