Kapil Sharma reveals his first salary was Rs 500, worked at a mill at age 14: ‘I used to feel shy’

Kapil then spoke about another job, working at a mill, where he made Rs 900 per month at the age of 14. He recalled, “I have done a lot of odd little jobs. Like after I gave my 10th standard exams, I used to work at a garment mill. It used to be so hot that even the migrant labourers used to run back to their villages.”

When asked if Kapil had to work to make money for his family, the Zwigato actor said, “We were just kids 14 years old, and we thought we will get Rs 900 per month. This was back in 1994. There was no pressure from home that you have to work but we would just buy our own thing with the money. A music system, get a gift for mom, it used to feel nice.”

Kapil said that he “used to feel shy asking for money at home” and that is why he started working at a young age.
