I don't believe these figures. I have read in several places that Smriti and Ronit Roy are the highest paid and they get Rs.1,00,000 per day. And Ram Kapoor used to get paid Rs.35,000 per day and Prachi Desai also used to get Rs.35,000. Shabbo is rumoured to be paid Rs.40,000 per day. It is also said that Star Plus used to pay BT Rs.3,00,000 per episode before the exclusivity contract was broken instead of the standard rate of Rs.10,00,000 per episode. Now that the contract is broken I dont think Star pays BT more than the standard rate. If that is the case, I dont think BT can pay actors astronomical rates of Rs.3,00,000 and Rs.3.50,000 per day to some actors. They have their own production costs and there are so many other actors in the shows as well.
As to Panchi buying a flat in Pune she had said in an interview that she had bought it with loan from a bank. Ofcourse she must be making a good sum to repay the loan but nowhere near Rs.75,000 per day - maybe Rs.20,000-Rs.25,000 per day.
