Television's highest paid actors

Name: Ronit Roy
Claim To Fame: Kasautii Zindagi Kay/Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi
Characters: Rishab Bajaj/Mihir Virani
His fee, industry talk has it, is Rs 1 million a month After Ronit's first Hindi film Jaan Tere Naam did well, he was sure life would be one big party. Sadly, fate had other plans and all his other films bombed. A few years later, there came an offer for an eight-week cameo in an upcoming show, Kasautii Zindagi Kay. But even Ronit would have laughed if you told him that his cameo as Rishab Bajaj would catapult him to superstardom and make him a household name. Today, Ronit aka Rishabh Bajaj plays characters most actors can only dream of. Just when one thought it couldn't get any bigger or better, Ronit stepped into the shoes of Mihir Virani, a character who, in Ronit's own words, has raced ahead of his Kasautii character.

Today, Ronit runs a super-successful security company, is the highest-paid male television star and a permanent resident in the hearts of millions of people.
