While Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan‘s stardom has remain unparalleled over the years, even their staff is quite famous and everyone knows them. For instance, Shah Rukh Khan’s bodyguard Ravi Singh and Salman Khan’s bodyguard Shera are quite famous as they are always with them. Thus, people are always interested in knowing about their salaries. Reports have suggested that they get paid around Rs 2.7 annually. In a recent interview, renowned celebrity consultant Yusuf Ibrahim who has provided security for many celebs including Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and others as well, has busted some myths.
Ibrahim was asked in an interview, if it’s true that bodyguards of big stars get paid this much. He told Siddharth Kannan, “See, I told you, we don’t come to know how much someone is earning.” When probed further, he added, “Itna possible nahi hai (It’s not possible).”
When asked if Salman’s bodyguard Shera’s salary is Rs 2 crore per annum, he said, “See, Salman Khan’s Shera has his own business, he has his own security company. I think he has multiple businesses. So it is possible that he must be earning it.”
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar‘s bodyguard Shreysay Thele reportedly gets paid Rs 1.2 crore. Reacting to it, Yusuf said, “I don’t have his personal information. Calculate monthly — Rs 10 to Rs 12 lakh — it is possible, not possible too. Depends on what billing is going for your shoot or events or promotions. How much is your salary? All these things factor in. How many days a month your star is working, the billing depends on that! All these figures, I feel, just chaap diya hai kisine (someone has just randomly printed these figures).”
In the same interview, Yusuf revealed that managing Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s wedding was the most difficult in terms of managing the security.
