Dulquer Salmaan Reveals 1st Paycheck Worth Rs. 2K When He Was 10, Adds Dad, Mammootty Hasn't Helped

Renowned actor, Dulquer Salmaan is the son of Mollywood’s superstar, Muhammad Kutty Ismail Paniparambil, aka Mammootty and his wife, Sulfath. Following in his father's footsteps, but without taking any help from him, Dulquer has made a name for himself in the acting industry. With one after the other super-hit films, Dulquer has already made a mark in the south Indian film industry. However, recently, in a conversation, the actor revealed his first paycheck at the age of ten, that too without his father's help.

Dulquer Salmaan is a complete family man, and glimpses of the same are found on his IG handle. For instance, on August 6, 2021, Dulquer had taken to his IG handle and shared two pictures to congratulate his father, Mammootty on completing 50 years in Indian cinema. The first one is a solo picture of his superstar daddy and the following one was a rare picture from Dulquer's childhood in which he could be seen standing in between his father's legs and posing for the camera with a cutesy expression.

Along with these two pictures, the doting son had penned:

"50 years of being an actor. Of dreaming big and never giving up. Still dreaming bigger. Of being better every day. Never being satiated. Of never tiring. Of forever being hungry to play the next great character. Forever striving to find the next great film. Of wanting to be known more as an actor than a megastar. Of loving cinema and the craft more than any actor I've met. Of inspiring millions. Of influencing generations. Of leading only by example. Of sticking to your morals and traditions irrespective of the times."

In an interview with Curly Tales, Dulquer Salmaan talked about his first paycheck and also mentioned his actor-dad, Mammootty's zero role in the same. He shared that the actor was 10 years old when he got his first work in an advertisement. He shared:

"I was 10 years old. This has nothing to do with my dad, this is not some nepotism advantage. I was randomly picked by Mr Rajiv Menon's ad agency. They came to my school to pick kids for a TVC and I was one of those who got picked. They gave me Rs. 2,000 for that."

Further, in the same conversation, the actor shared what he did with that money. He mentioned that he gifted Rs. 500 to his grandparents and this spoke volumes about his dedication to his family.

Talking about an incident with his darling mother, Sulfath, Dulquer added:

"It was like unheard of money, like it was 2 crore of something. I was like 10 or 9 years old. I gave Rs. 500 to my grandparents and rest to my mother. And then I used to keep being like that 'Maa that Rs. 2,000 I have no, can I buy this.' So then my mom is like 'you finished that Rs. 2,000 long ago.' She still talks about this."

The bond which Dulquer shared with his father, Mammotty is beyond words, proof of the same is found on their respective social media handles. For instance, on Mammooty's 69th birthday, i.e., on September 7, 2020, the doting son had taken to his IG handle and shared an adorable picture of the duo. In the picture, we could see Dulquer giving a peck on his dad's cheeks, and the birthday boy was seen smiling at the peaceful moment with his eyes closed. Along with this adorable picture, Dulquer had written:

"Mine ! Happiest birthday to my Vappichi ! The wisest and most disciplined man I know. To the one person, I can turn to for anything. And the one who always calms me by just listening. You are my peace and my zen. And every day I strive to live up to your incredible standards. It has been the greatest blessing to get this time with you. For all of us. And seeing you with maryam is the single greatest joy for me. Happy happy birthday pa. As you get younger may you continue to inspire generations to come. We love you infinity!"
