Despite the evolution of OTT platforms, Television still remains a go-to medium for every Indian household. Hina Khan and other celebrities may have criticized the regressive content, but the TRPs of saas-bahu daily soaps still remain sky-high. Rupali Ganguly, Tejasswi Prakash, and Divyanka Tripathi have all enjoyed massive fame, but do you know who remains the highest-paid among them all? Scroll below for the exciting details!
Television is a space that does not forget their favorite stars. Rupali Ganguly returned to the small screen after seven long years with Anupamaa, but she’s loved even more than she was for her portrayal as Monisha in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. On the other hand, Divyanka Tripathi and Dipika Kakkar are not as active on-screen, but fans continue to shower them with love via their social media platforms.
Take a look at the five highest-paid Indian Television actresses in the ascending order below:
It was back in 2002 when Jennifer Winget made her Television debut in Shaka Laka Boom Boom. She rose to prominence with her role in Kasautii Zindagii Kay, but Dil Mil Gaye, opposite ex-husband Karan Singh Grover, turned the game-changer in her career.
Ever since, Jennifer has been a part of multiple daily soaps, web series, and movies. Some of her most successful projects are Beyhadh, Saraswatichandra, Code M, and Kuch Naa Kaho, starring Jennifer Winget and Abhishek Bachchan in the lead.
Jennifer Winget charges a sum of 1.5 lakhs per episode.
