Seriously TV actors salary is so good so why these actors are so Bollywood hungry.I just can't believe Rajeev ruined his career for movies .He was so popular during kahin toh Hoga
Shabbir Ahluwalia 95K
With a TV career that spans close to two decades, Shabbir Ahluwalia is one of the most experienced actors in the TV industry. Though he is close to 40, he can still make women weak in the knees. Shabbir with his rugged looks, easy charm and effortless acting is one of the mainstays of Kumkum Bhagya. The show has been a TRP topper since three years and he is making an approximate of Rs 95K per day
Karan Patel 90K
Like Shabbir, Karan Patel too has immense experience. Fans adore him as the angry egoistical yet loving Raman Bhalla on Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. Karan's fan base extends to many countries of Southeast Asia as well. As per sources, Divyanka Tripathi and Karan take home the same pay i.e. around 90K.

Vivian Dsena 85K
Like the above, Vivian too has a hit track record when it comes to daily soaps. He commands close to 85K per day and producers are more than willing to shell out money for the handsome hunk. Vivian has a crazy fan following amongst girls in India and in countries like Egypt, Turkey and Central Asian nations. He is also one of the finest actors of his generation. Vivian is also one of the highest paid for events etc.

Nakuul Mehta 85K
Guys, Ishqbaaz is his second daily soap but Nakuul Mehta has zoomed up the pay scale ladder with lightning speed commanding Rs 85K per episode. It is, of course, due to his superlative performance as Shivaay Singh Oberoi in Ishqbaaz. Nakuul has breathed life into the character of the arrogant yet soft-hearted business tycoon and is leading the show. Recently, there were reports of him asking for close to Rs two lakh per episode for both Ishqbaaz and Dil Bole Oberoi but he denied it. He is a producer as well.
Barun Sobti 80K
Tall, handsome and talented, Barun Sobti is lethal for women. He stole the show as Arnav Singh Raizada in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon and disappeared for close to four years. His return on the web-series Tanhaiyaan was a hit too and he made 70K per day as per sources. Barun is commanding close to 80K per day on his comeback.
Shaheer Sheikh 70K
He is one of the highest-paid actors in Indonesia and boasts of an enviable lifestyle with a villa complete with a plunge-in pool and lotus pond. Shaheer also loves swanky cars and owns a BMW and Mercedes. However, money is not the sole criteria for him when it comes to choosing work. He is paid around 70K per episode for his comeback venture, Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi. Shaheer is also endorsing some of the top brands in Indonesia.

Because Bollywood is better than tellywood and has better content! And the movies have a start and end time unlike TV shows that never ever end! Plus most tv actors tend to do TV every now and then when something exciting and finite comes up!

@niks- I can understand about work satisfaction but Im unable to understand why few actors ruined their established Carrer for Bollywood.
In TV also only established actors salary is that good n you have to give 1 - 2 hit shows

And 1 lakh is too much lol

Well I guess some people value work satisfaction and more exposure to money! Plus no one leaves TV completely! KSG hosted a show called selfie while shooting for movies, that must have given him 1 lakh + per episode!

pyscho khan refuted the rumours of 2L per epi nd BL confirmed he is paid 80-90k per epi
on topic: daily soaps are repetitive/regressive it's montonus 2 play same character for years i can understand why TV actors get desperate for a film
but the pay in films is not as good as tv actors are paid less in films
