After making her reality show debut on ‘Bigg Boss 13’, Shehnaaz Gill rose to stardom and how. And since then, she has just grown in her career apart from getting all the love from the audience. And adding a feather to her cap, she is all set to make her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan’s ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’. 

As part of her film promotions, Shehnaaz was present along with the film’s team on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’, during which she made a big revelation about how she had the least remuneration on ‘Bigg Boss’, but ended up being the most popular contestant.

When jokingly Kapil asked Shehnaaz whether there was a payment due from Salman Khan’s show that he decided to rope her for the film, the actress quipped, “Usme to payment mujhe bohot hi kam mili thi. Sabse sasti main hi thi aur sabse meghengi ban ke nikli hu (I was paid very less in that show. I was the cheapest hire but came out as the most expensive one),” she shared. Hearing her, Salman Khan gave her a broad, encouraging smile. 

Well, during ‘The Kapil Sharma Show,’ Shehnaaz also revealed that when Salman Khan called her for the part, she blocked his number, only to be later informed that the unknown number was actually that of Salman Khan.

She shared, “I was in Amritsar visiting the Gurudwara when I received a call from an unknown number. And I have this habit of blocking unknown numbers, so I did the same. Then after a few minutes, I got a message that Salman sir is trying to call me. Just to verify, I put the number on the Truecaller app and found out that it was actually Salman Khan calling me! I immediately unblocked him and called him back; it was then that he offered me the film and that’s how I got the film.”

Joining Salman and Shehnaaz on the show were Pooja Hegde, Shehnaaz Gill, Raghav Juyal, Palak Tiwari, Jassie Gill, Siddharth Nigam, Vinali Bhatnagar, and Sukhbir. ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ will release in cinema halls on April 21.
