Filmmaker KC Bokadia recently shared a heartwarming anecdote about Shah Rukh Khan’s gesture during the filming of *Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam*, revealing that the actor waived a substantial fee owed to him simply out of respect and friendship. According to Bokadia, when the time came to settle the remaining Rs 95 lakh of Khan’s agreed Rs 2 crore fee, the superstar insisted it be dropped.
## The Fee Agreement and Shah Rukh Khan’s Offer
Bokadia disclosed in an ANI interview that he had contracted Khan for Rs 2 crore. At the time, Rs 1.05 crore of this amount had already been paid. However, when it came time to honor the outstanding Rs 95 lakh, Khan made it clear that he didn’t want the money—something he felt good producers like Bokadia didn’t need for their livelihoods. Bokadia explained that Khan told his son, “Mr Bokadia is a very good man. I will not take any money from him.”
### The Values Behind the Gesture
When approached, the producer’s son reassured Khan that there would be no trouble in paying him. Nevertheless, the actor insisted, saying, “You didn’t tell me anything, Bokadia sahab. I am speaking this from my own mind.” He expressed belief that Bokadia would eventually manage to provide the sum—perhaps by selling something or attending a brief event to raise it.
## An Unexpected Reunion and Final Words
Several years later, Bokadia was at Empire Studio for a sound mixing session when Shah Rukh Khan dropped by unannounced. Without any prompt, Khan inquired about Bokadia’s well-being and then, smiling warmly, asked, “What money, sir? Leave it.” The remark underscored not only Khan’s generosity but his strong bond with the producer—one that placed respect and personal relationships over financial matters.
## *Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam* and Its Cast
*Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam*, directed by KS Adhiyaman, brought together an iconic ensemble—Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, and Salman Khan—in a romantic drama that remains memorable for its strong emotions and big stars sharing the screen. It was during this project that the financial arrangement between Bokadia and Khan took shape.
