These are the 7 lowest paid actors in Bollywood

It is often taken for granted that every Bollywood actor earns millions of rupees for working in a film. Nowadays, the actors have changed their payment policy because they demand a share of the producers' income if the film does good business at the box office. However, it should be noted that not all actors belong to this category.

Only a few elite workers like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Akshay Kumar are paid this way. In addition, some actresses have now increased their fees according to recent reports and earn more than their male counterparts. There are a plethora of Bollywood stars who have received very little pay while working in several great movies and here is a list of the top 7 lowest paid actors in B-Town.
