Aamir Khan doesn’t consider in money


For Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, money is the last thing on his mind. While many might find it hard to agree, but Khan opines that the green stuff is not the only thing that drives him to perform and effect what he can do best in the industry. Being the highest paid actor in Bollywood, here is what Aamir Khan says about his riches, “I have never thought of money as something that is there to give me a sense of security. My needs are not that many. I am earning more than enough to cover my needs. I have a very easy life.”

On being asked about the value he ascertains to wealth, Aamir Khan came up with a surprising statement, saying, “The value of money is only as much as you can use it. If I have thousands of crores in the bank or if I have an equal amount invested somewhere, it cannot give me any pleasure. Money is of no use unless I use it. If money is not used then it only has conceptual value. It is in your head. The way I look at it, at the end of the day, you’re going to live in a house, eat two-three meals a day and that’s about it.

After a point, money ceases to mean anything.” Nevertheless, Aamir admits that everyone doesn’t fall in with his same line of thought. “I will not disrespect money or people who are fascinated by money. But it doesn’t fascinate me,” he says.

Hot Mallika Sherawat demands big money?

Call it the after effects of all the adulation and attention she has been receiving from Hollywood, because if the buzz in the industry is to go by, Mallika Sherawat is demanding a whopping sum for doing an advertisement for a jewellery brand. From what we hear, a leading jewellery brand recently approached Mallika to be its brand ambassador. But the siren quoted a huge sum of money - Rs. 10 crore, it is believed - for her service
According to a source, given the fact that Mallika has been able to make her mark in Hollywood and has two American films coming up - director Jennifer Lynch’s Hissss and William Dear’s Love Barack - she feels she is in a position to lift a brand’s image to the international level. Hence the hike in her fee. This fact isn’t amiss on the jewellery brand as well. For we learn that the brand is seriously considering Mallika’s demand for a fatter pay cheque.
