Ronit Roy: Undoubtedly, he is the biggest actor on TV. Ronit made a small start, after which he never looked back. Mr. Bajaj, Mihir Virani or Bheeshma, Ronit has excelled with every character and every role.

His approximate remuneration per month is said to be 12 lakhs per show.



Smriti Irani: The queen bee of TV, Smriti has all what it takes to be the numero uno on TV. The lady is said to be one demanding actor. Whether it is quality or fees, Smriti doesn't compromise on anything. After her Tulsi avatar she hasn't managed to out do her screen image of an adrash bahu.

Her monthly pay packet from Balaji is said to be a whopping 20 Lakhs.

Ram Kapoor: Just when one thought that Ram's career on TV is over, he bounced back as Mr Walia of Kasamh Se. Despite his weight problem and starry tantrums Kapoor is a big hit with the audience and the producers as well.

But Ram says that he will only take up another show if he gets the desired role and money. As Mr. Walia he is said to making a cool 15 lakhs a month.

Gurdeep Kohli: She is the only actress who has had three hit shows to her credit i.e. Sanjeevani, Sindoor and Kasamh Se. And guess what these are the only three shows that Gurdeep alias Bani has done in her career on TV.

The actress works on her own terms and conditions and is said to be demanding a cool 8 lakhs a month.


Gauri Pradhan: The most stylish of the lot Gauri is an original. She might be famous for taking short sabbaticals but Gauri is one name that is a big hit with the audience. Famous for not doing too much work, Gauri is happy with her sole show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.

The amount that Gauri is rumored to be taking home is 10 lakhs.


Hiten Tejwani: This is one actor who is raking it in big time. Producer Ekta Kapoor makes sure that she has one suitable role for this man in most of her shows. Probably the richest actor on TV, Hiten is paid 13 Lakhs per show.

He is said to be working on four shows with the production house.

Yet another mention of Mr Ram Kapoor's tantrums? 😳
Oh well...
I first saw a snipet of this article elsewhere, but now that I've thought about it, I'm starting to wonder about how accurate it is...
For example, some of those figures seem extremely high!
Ronit Sir is doing two shows with Balaji Telefilms, and is said to work 18 days a month... and so even though he always has been a huge earner, 24 lakhs for 18 days sounds huge 😕
Smriti ji getting 20 lakhs for one show also sounds enormous!
And then there is Mr Hiten Tejwani's remuneration... the guy works all month round, and so I don't have difficulty believing that he learns 13 lakhs 👍🏼 But at the end, does the article mean to say that he has worked on a total of 4 shows until now, or do they really mean that he is currently working 4 shows? 😕
3 shows is a lot... but if Mr Hiten Tejwani is currently working 4, then I'd guess that he probably sleeps for around 20 minutes every day, and then shoots for the remaining 23 hours and 40 minutes 😳
God bless.
