Salman Khan & Anil Kapoor on the sets of Bigg Boss 7

Salman compliments Elli

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's fondness for international beauties doesn't seem to end even after his break-up with Katrina Kaif. Wondering why? Well, here's the answer.

After offering an opportunity to teach Hindi to Bigg Boss contestant Elli Eviram and casually flirting with her on his show Bigg Boss 7, host Salman Khan was now seen comparing Elli to his ex flame Katrina Kaif.

Sources inform that in tonight's episode while interacting with the Bigg Boss housemates, Salman who was at his comic best pulled a small prank on the beautiful Elli. He told her that her upcoming film Mickey Virus with actor Manish Paul has already released and has been taken out of theatres. Elli, who always seems to fall prey to Salman's prank believed him. 

Salman, who never misses to amuse his fans, asked Elli to render few Hindi dialogues from her upcoming film Mickey Virus. 

The actress gladly accepted Salman's request and enacted two dialogues from the film. And if all this wasn't enough, Salman Khan then asked her to say some other dialogue from the film and the firang babe Elli went ahead to fulfill Salman's second wish. But the fun doesn't end here as the highlight of the evening was Salman's reaction after Elli rendered her dialogues. The Bollywood heartthrob told Elli that her Hindi reminds him of Katrina.

It seems that even though Salman maintains "we are friends" status with Katrina, the actor is not able to get over the Barbie doll.

Salman said, "Tumhara ye dialogue sunn kar mujhe 5 saal pehle ki Katrina yaad aagayi". 

Salman's support helped katrina make a mark in Bollywood, is Elle the next Katrina in the making? 

Salman Khan - Bigg Boss7

Salman Khan becomes the 'Bigg Boss' of TV, to make a whopping Rs.130 crore in season 7 .

Salman Khan may not have a film release this year but that will definitely not affect his annual income. The superstar is all set to become the top-paid television personality, with his per-episode remuneration reportedly increased to Rs.5 crore for the seventh season of Bigg Boss. Salman's pay packet this year is exactly double of what he earned last year - Rs.2.5 crore.

The show will go on air in mid September and will have Salman in a double role presenting himself as an angel as well as a devil.

According to sources, the actor's new contract has a total remuneration of Rs.130 crore for season seven. He will be shooting two episodes per week, in which he will be seen in his diametrically opposite avatar, highlighting the theme of the show - heaven and hell.

The channel has brought forward the airing of the show to September from the usual month of October because Salman insisted on finishing shooting for the show before the decision on his legal cases. The trial for his 2002 hitand-run case will begin in August and the actor is prepared to finish the shooting in three months.

With the increased remuneration, Salman has taken a lead from Aamir Khan, who was till now the highest paid actor on TV. For the reality chat show Satyamev Jayate, Aamir had reportedly charged Rs.3 crore per episode. Amitabh Bachchan was paid around Rs.2.5 crore per episode for hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati's last season.

He will be back with the seventh season of the show in August.
