Actor ya anchor?
Rajeev Khandelwal, Rakshanda Khan, Maninee De, Roshni Chopra all played popular characters in television serials.

Anchor, Jodi Kamaal Ki (Star Plus)
Anchor kyon? Rakshanda, who has been in the business for years, says, "Anchoring is a niche area; not everyone can wake up and become an anchor. Spontaneity and vivaciousness are the key requirements of the job."
Paisa bolta hai: "Of course, top-of-the line anchors get paid handsomely. Also, the number of days required for anchoring are less than those for a normal TV schedule."
Per day acting fee: Rs 25,000*
Per day anchoring fee: Rs 80,000 to Rs 1,00,000
