Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the epitome of beauty, left us spellbound when she won the Miss World 1994 pageant. After that, she established herself as one of the most versatile actresses in the entertainment industry. Be it with her beauty, wit, fashion sense, or dancing skills, Aishwarya has carved a niche for herself in the hearts of her fans. She is married to Abhishek Bachchan, and they have a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.
While being a celebrity is a glamorous job to do, it also requires a whole lot of privacy and protection. Celebrities cannot openly roam around just like normal people. And when it's Aishwarya, one can only imagine the craze about her amongst her fans. Thus, she has to stay under the protection blanket of security, including bodyguards.
Well, one of the actress' bodyguards, Shivraj has been with her for a long time now. He protects the Bachchan clan and is specifically in charge of taking care of Aishwarya. But do you know how much he gets paid? We can give an approximate amount of Aishwarya's bodyguard's salary, and it's seemingly more than several MNC executives.
It's said that back in 2015, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan attended his bodyguard, Shivraj's wedding, which proves how cordial the actress is with him, and how she treats everyone equally. As per reports, Shivraj is also a technical expert, and when he is with the actress, no one can even touch her. Shivraj has been with the Bachchan family for a long time now, and his main duty is to provide protection to Aishwarya.
While the exact salary of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's technical expert bodyguard, Shivraj isn't known, it's reported by India.com that he earns several lakhs per month. On the other hand, the actress' other bodyguard, Rajendra Dhole also earns a whopping salary. As per a report by Fimlibeat, Rajendra's salary package is approximately Rs. 1 crore per year.

Well, if the reports are to be believed, Jitendra has his own security agency, but he personally protects Amitabh Bachchan, and that too in exchange for a jaw-dropping salary. As per a report by Filmibeat, Jitendra gets a salary of a whopping Rs. 1.5 crore annually.
Amitabh Bachchan, an ever-shining star in Bollywood, enjoys a massive net worth.
