this is an article in deccan chroncile today which states the money paid and received by all the actors and actresses and by the production house,
it stated tht,
If you are good looking, talented and have the gift of gab, then there is no better career option than television in the present times. A monthly pay packet of Rs 50,000 is assured for a fledgling actor for 25 days of work. For middle level actors the pay averages around Rs 3 lakh per month. In the case of top-notch actors it can be anywhere in the range of Rs 4 to 5 lakh for 20 to 25 days. If an actor also takes up anchoring on the side, there is an additional incentive of Rs 20,000 to 25,000 per episode.
While Smriti Irani, one of the highest paid TV actresses, says she gets what she deserves, Hiten Tejwani, who falls in the second rung, assures that there is money for everyone. He says, "Television has grown fast and when a business grows like this, everyone who travels along with it makes money." Sandiip Sikcand, Sony's senior creative head and part-time stage actor says, "I wish I was a full-time television actor. There is good money in it."
Producers are also laughing all the way to the bank, too. In the 90s, a producer made about Rs. 25,000 per episode from a weekly serial. Nowadays, even the producer of a daily serial easily makes Rs 40,000 per episode. This means about Rs 9 lakh per month. The profit figures of a production house like Balaji are eye popping. Profit per episode of shows such as Kyunki, Kahani, Kasauti and Kasamh Se is between Rs. 1.5 to Rs 2.5 lakh.
