Bollywood stars are not just ruling the silver screen—they're also raking in big money with international live performances. But who’s topping the charts when it comes to live show fees? According to Australian event organisers Pace D and Bikram Singh Randhawa, it's Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and Honey Singh who sit comfortably at the top.
Speaking to host Siddharth Kannan, the organisers shared behind-the-scenes details of bringing Bollywood A-listers to Australia. They explained that star fees fluctuate based on recent hits and current demand, but some names consistently command top dollar.
Between Bollywood’s two biggest male stars, Shah Rukh Khan reportedly charges more than Salman Khan. “The moment he spreads his arms, half the country’s population just falls over,” joked the organisers, pointing to SRK’s iconic fan appeal—especially among women.

Among younger actors, Ranveer Singh demands a higher fee than Kartik Aaryan, they revealed, noting that charisma and crowd-pulling power greatly influence these decisions.
In the music world, Honey Singh leads the pack, beating out Badshah and Karan Aujla in terms of live performance fees. “Honey bro is in demand. He’s made a strong comeback and is on top of the game,” they said, adding that Badshah comes second, followed by Karan Aujla.
As for female actors, Kareena Kapoor remains Australia’s favourite, outshining even Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, and Kriti Sanon. “People are crazy about her,” the organisers said, attributing her popularity to a long-standing fan base among settled Indian communities abroad. They noted that veteran stars like Kareena, Aishwarya Rai, and Preity Zinta continue to attract loyal audiences willing to splurge on live appearances and meet-and-greets.
