The actor said he also wanted to impress Parveen, who was his girlfriend at the time and is now his wife. Hashmi is associated with Awarapan 2. The anecdote links an early career decision to a personal financial goal and his relationship with Parveen.
Early film remuneration can vary widely based on an actor’s experience, role, production scale and negotiating position. A first substantial payment may also reflect a career stage when personal purchases carry more weight than long-term financial planning. For actors, such earnings are usually subject to taxes, professional fees and other costs, so the headline amount may not equal take-home income. The useful figure to watch is whether future accounts of Hashmi’s early career place this payment before or after his breakout films.
