Interesting! Not Shah Rukh or Salman Khan, but Akshay Kumar is the highest paid celebs from India in the Forbes’ list

According to the list, Akshay Kumar earned $40.5 million this year. Forbes said the reason, “One of Bollywood’s leading men has transitioned to socially-conscious roles, such as ‘Toilet,’ a comedy supporting government campaigns to improve sanitation, and ‘Padman,’ about a guy hoping to provide inexpensive sanitary pads to rural communities. He still mints millions from backend profits and endorsing some 20 brands, including Tata and Eveready.”

While on the other hand Tiger Zinda Hai star Salman Khan is on the 82nd position this time with his earnings of 2.57 billion. For Salman Khan Forbes gave the reason, “This Bollywood mainstay continues to produce and star in hits such as ‘Tiger Zinda Hai,’ cashing in on backend profits. Coupled with a slew of endorsements from Suzuki motorcycles to Chlormint gum, he remains one of India’s top earners.”

Well, this is interesting that even after giving back to back hits and the most earning films, Salman Khan is far behind then Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar.
