Shah Rukh Khan charges a huge amount compared to Salman Khan for international shows; Australian event organisers reveal Kareena Kapoor Khan is their 'queen'
Bollywood stars grab the spotlight for their performances at live events and programmes for international audiences, apart from being live on screen. Such international shows not only allow actors to connect with their fans but also serve as one of the most profitable avenues in their careers. According to Australian event organisers Pace D and Bikram Singh Randhawa, these fan-focused events are big business, particularly among the Indian diaspora living abroad.
They also opened up about the huge amount
Shah Rukh Khan
charges for such shows compared to
Salman Khan
and other stars.
Shah Rukh Khan's airport style wins hearts
During an interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, the organisers shared insights into the popularity and demand for Indian actors at live events in Australia. They admitted that
Shah Rukh
charges a higher fee than his contemporaries, including
Salman
Khan.
'The moment he spreads his arms, half the country's population just falls over,' they shared. The 'Jawan' actor's female fans have an insane obsession with him.
While comparing Ranveer Singh and Kartik Aaryan's remuneration for stage shows, they revealed that Ranveer receives a bigger pay cheque.
At the same time,
Kareena Kapoor
Khan appears to be the undisputed favourite among audiences Down Under. 'People are crazy about her,' they remarked, when asked about her popularity compared to stars like
Deepika Padukone
, Katrina Kaif, Kriti Sanon, and Alia Bhatt. They explained Kareena's enduring appeal, 'Of course, she does. She is a senior actress. People have liked her for a long time.'
They also shared that the people who spend a lot of money on such events are usually families who have been settled there for some time. They are not students but individuals with the means to afford such grand star shows. This makes senior actresses more relevant to them. 'Kareena,
Aishwarya Rai
, Preity Zinta—when they visit, people go crazy.' They called Kareena 'the queen' among Indian actresses in terms of live event popularity.
Salman Khan has recently postponed his UK show, The Bollywood Big One. He has been doing his 'Da-Bangg Tour' for many years.

Kanye West changes his name once again after using 'Ye'. Fans say 'should've been hehe cause he's a joke'
According to a report by The U.S. Sun on June 9, new business documents filed in California suggest that the rapper, who legally changed his name to 'Ye' in 2021, is now going by 'Ye Ye'. The filings were submitted by West's chief financial officer, Hussain Lalani. Three of West's companies — Yeezy Apparel, Yeezy Record Label LLC, and Getting Out Our Dreams Inc — now reportedly list the name 'Ye Ye' in official records. The change appears to be the latest in a series of rebrandings from the 48-year-old artist and entrepreneur. What remains unclear is whether Kanye West, who rose to fame with hits like 'Stronger' and 'Gold Digger', has also legally changed his personal name to 'Ye Ye'. So far, he has made no public announcement on the matter. Fans reacted with a mix of humour and confusion. While some expressed curiosity about the new name's meaning, others joked online about the constant changes. 'Should've been HEHE cause he's a joke,' one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another said, 'He is off his meds again oh god.' A third person wrote, 'ain't nobody calling him that.' West, who often makes headlines for his unpredictable decisions, has not responded to the speculation. As of now, only the business paperwork shows the updated name — but knowing Kanye, it may just be a matter of time before 'Ye Ye' becomes part of his public persona. Bianca Censori, the Australian architect and wife of rapper Kanye West, has officially registered her first company in the United States. The firm, named Bianca Censori Inc., was filed in California last month, according to state records. Despite the solo branding, Kanye West is still involved in the venture. The 'Heartless' rapper is listed as a director of the company, and his long-time lawyer, Manoj Shah, is handling the legal side of the operation.
