<p>A celebrity or a white actor would get millions of rupees from the same platform, according to actor Manoj Bajpayee, who has complained about being underpaid for his most well-known sitcom The Family Man.<img decoding=”async” loading=”lazy” class=”alignnone wp-image-30092″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/www.theindiaprint.com-manoj-bajpayee-refuses-to-accept-srk-salman-type-fees-for-the-family-man-hum-cheap-labour-hai-manojbajpayee41623127080-11zon-750×563.png” alt=”” width=”1483″ height=”1113″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/www.theindiaprint.com-manoj-bajpayee-refuses-to-accept-srk-salman-type-fees-for-the-family-man-hum-cheap-labour-hai-manojbajpayee41623127080-11zon-750×563.png 750w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/www.theindiaprint.com-manoj-bajpayee-refuses-to-accept-srk-salman-type-fees-for-the-family-man-hum-cheap-labour-hai-manojbajpayee41623127080-11zon-1024×768.png 1024w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/www.theindiaprint.com-manoj-bajpayee-refuses-to-accept-srk-salman-type-fees-for-the-family-man-hum-cheap-labour-hai-manojbajpayee41623127080-11zon-768×576.png 768w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/www.theindiaprint.com-manoj-bajpayee-refuses-to-accept-srk-salman-type-fees-for-the-family-man-hum-cheap-labour-hai-manojbajpayee41623127080-11zon.png 1200w” sizes=”(max-width: 1483px) 100vw, 1483px” /></p>
<p>The actor was questioned about whether or not he earned “Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan-type fees” for The Family Man during an interview on the Unfiltered by Samdish YouTube channel. “OTT platforms are just as bad as regular producers,” Manoj immediately denied, adding, “Yeh wale regular producer se kam nahi hai.” The top stars will be paid. For The Family Man, I didn’t get the amount of money I should have.<img decoding=”async” loading=”lazy” class=”alignnone wp-image-30086″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/www.theindiaprint.com-images-2023-06-19t135456.769.jpg” alt=”” width=”1327″ height=”799″ /></p>
<p>The actor continued, “Gora aayega, show karega toh de denge (If a white actor does the show, they will pay),” before making a somewhat startling admission. Because labor is so cheap there, brands have factories there. I am also the cheap labor here, he continued.<img decoding=”async” loading=”lazy” class=”alignnone wp-image-30088″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/www.theindiaprint.com-manoj-bajpayee-refuses-to-accept-srk-salman-type-fees-for-the-family-man-hum-cheap-labour-hai-images-2023-06-19t135448.993.jpg” alt=”” width=”1145″ height=”641″ /></p>
<p>Internet users have been shocked by Manoj’s statement and have criticized the star system. “Really sad for such an amazing actor,” one commenter said. Additionally, a mediocre celebrity actor who appears in the same platform’s series receives 30 to 40 crore! Shameful!” Another person said, “I feel insulted when he calls himself labor. One of the greatest we have, but people abuse them like this. Another user said, “He carried the show on his back; he deserved it.”<img decoding=”async” loading=”lazy” class=”alignnone wp-image-30090″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/www.theindiaprint.com-manoj-bajpayee-refuses-to-accept-srk-salman-type-fees-for-the-family-man-hum-cheap-labour-hai-images-2023-06-19t135431.449-1.jpg” alt=”” width=”1189″ height=”1205″ /></p>
<p>Manoj has previously said that his wife Shabana had opposed his acting in The Family Man since he planned to take an eight-month hiatus from work to prepare for the role. “So that’s now a problem with my wife (actor Shabana),” he said. She questioned me about this OTT because she assumed I was filming some kind of series. When I informed her that it was different, her response was, “What is the need for money? Why do you keep destroying your career?</p>
