I was still in college then and I was being paid Rs 500 a day. By the time the event ended, I had earned Rs 3000. I gave the cheque to my parents. My mother has framed it and kept it as a memento. I gave my first pay cheque fromDabangg, my debut film, to my parents too, after donating a part of it to Salman's charity foundation. Till date, every cheque I get, goes to my parents. I have few needs so whenever I need money, I ask them."
