As we grow up and start earning, the first paycheck is always special. Whatever the amount, it makes us happy, proud, and emotional. How we spend it is also a special experience. Celebs share their first salary and how much was the amount. They also reveal how they earned and what they spend it on. Read on:
Zayn Ibad Khan
It is not a very
old story. Just 5-6 years back I started working in a gym as a trainer. I was
17 back then as I always wanted to be independent and didn’t want to take money
from my parents. As a fitness enthusiast since childhood, I channeled my passion into my profession. And, after working 8-9 hours daily,
my first salary was only Rs 3000. I don’t have words to describe how I felt
when I got the money. I came back home, and dad was sleeping. So I went to his bed
and cuddled him and said ‘Abba meri pehli Kamayi’ and I gave him my money. He
kissed me all over and said, ‘you have worked hard my son, it is your
hard-earned money, keep it’. He also said that ‘this is just the beginning, you
have a world to conquer'.
Anupama Solanki
My first earning
was from my first music album. The first cheque I received was of INR sixty
thousand. It was a huge amount for me at that time so I was very happy because
it was the first earning of my life. With that money, I did a lot of shopping
for myself and my family. I am very fond of dresses and sandals, so I purchased designer clothes and sandals. Even now, if I remember that time, a
smile comes on my face. I can't tell you how happy I was that day.
Arun Mandola
My first earning
was Rs 75 and I went to Gurgaon with some colony people to give polio drops. It
was a government project and I gave a small party to my siblings with that
money.
Megha Kishore
I earned Rs 5,000
rupees back in 2017 when I first performed on the stage. It was a proud moment
for me and my parents. I was on cloud nine that day. I can still feel the
happiness that I got that day. I've been working hard to reach my goals, and I know God is always there to support me. I did langar outside a temple
with that money. That was the most beautiful moment of my life.
Siddharth Sagar
My first earning
was Rs 350 for a live show and I was seven years old. I gave the entire
amount to my mom because she enjoyed watching me perform on stage and she saw
an artist in me as she is herself. She is the reason why I am here today.
Mitaali Nag
My first earning
was Rs 500. I was in the 12th grade when I earned it for choreographing two
popular Bollywood numbers that I worked on for two Russian expats in my hometown. They had come to our dance academy and I was the one who knew how to
speak English, so I had to teach them the dance. I gave the money to my mother!
Prateik Chaudhary
When I started my
business, I earned around Rs 1 lakh in the first month. But, when it comes to
acting, my first paycheck was Rs 3000, I used to get it per day
for my first project. And, both times I gave the money to my parents.
Anjali Phougat
I started working
at a very young age. My first paycheck was at the age of 15 and it was about Rs
2,000 when I started giving part-time tuitions to earn my pocket money and help
students. I gave some part of that to my parents and the rest was spent on
clothes. I loved dressing up and spending money on clothes. It feels unreal
when I look back at how my life has evolved from living in a small town to
building the dream life that I have now.
Mitu
It was Rs 982 and I
earned it at Zee, Delhi where I worked at that time. I bought a few things for
my family and a close friend with the money. Rest, I had spent on myself.
