Actor ya anchor?
By: Tusshar Joshi
May 18, 2006

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

But these days you see these actors in a totally different avatar. Instead of mouthing dramatic lines, these actors are now seen being themselves, anchoring and hosting shows. Is anchoring sidelining acting?

Let's hear it from the actors…

Rakshanda Khan
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
