When Salman Khan got Siddharth Nigam’s salary hiked for Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat with just one phone call

The handsome and very fit Siddharth Nigam is not only a popular name in the television industry, but is also a heartthrob across social media. He even made his Bollywood debut in 2013 with Aamir Khan’s film Dhoom 3 as a child artist. Up next, the actor will share the silver screen with industry’s Bhaijaan Salman Khan , in the upcoming action comedy Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan . Well, Salman and Siddharth go way back. They share a strong bond and the superstar is also a reason why Siddharth got a big jump in his salary while working on TV.

In an old interview with ETimes, Siddharth had revealed, “I shared a good bonding with Salman Sir when I was shooting for Ashoka in Karjat and he was shooting for Sultan and other films. I would workout in his gym and have dinner with him too. We would workout together. Salman sir had asked me about my per day salary once when I was working on Ashoka and he was really shocked after hearing it. As my per day was very low at that time. He called up someone and told that person how low I was being paid. And after he spoke about it, there was a boom in my per day after a year of being on Ashoka.”

We are sure Siddharth holds a special place in Salman’s heart. It would definitely be a treat to see the two together on-screen in the Farhad Samji directorial as brothers. Also starring Pooja Hegde in the lead with Raghav Juyal and Jassie Gill, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan marks Shehnaaz Gill as well as Palak Tiwari’s debut in Hindi films. Formerly titled Bhaijaan and Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, this release is one of the most awaited of the year.

A very happy birthday to Siddharth! We hope his film does extremely well.
