It’s a business and if you are a saleable actor, you get paid accordingly. You can’t be a new actress and demand to be paid the same as Shah Rukh Khan.” Abhishek and Aishwarya have worked together in movies like Kuch Na Kaho, Guru, Raavan, Dhoom 2, Dhai Akhsar Prem Ke, Sarkar Raj, Umrao Jaan and Bunty Aur Babli.
