There was a time when TV and films used to have a huge gap. In fact, the stars on television were paid peanuts when compared to the big stars on the silver screen. However, slowly and gradually, this gap has started to grow smaller, with celebrities like Bharti Singh earning moolah from their talent. The comedian was a part of The Kapil Sharma Show and churned out a fat paycheck from the show.
The comedy show, which used to air on Sony TV is all set for a comeback under the name The Great Indian Kapil Show. However, this time, Bharti is not a part of the team since she might be under a contract with Sony to host Dance Deewane.
Bharti Singh was a part of four seasons of The Kapil Sharma Show, and her reported salary from the comedy show might give anyone’s head a spin. We tried searching for the earliest reports to cross-check and see if the numbers stand true. The best part is her reported salary remained constant for the four seasons.
According to various media reports, the comedian used to charge 10 – 12 lakh per episode as her fee for the comedy show. Initially, Bharti played Babli Mausi and Lalli on the show. Later, she played Titli Yadav (Bachcha’s wife; mother of 11 children), Guddu (Bachcha and Titli’s eldest son), Kammo Bua (Kappu’s aunt) and Archana Puran Singh’s mimic. For the last season she was a part of, the comedian played Chachi. Bharti made an exit from the show for the fifth season.
Bharti’s Total Earnings
In total, Bharti was a part of almost 387 episodes of The Kapil Sharma Show. Doing the math and taking into consideration that she never hiked her fee, the actress might have taken a fat paycheck of a whopping 38 crore – 46 crore! Now, this entire paycheck is almost 140% higher than Deepika Padukone’s Fee for Fighter, which was 20 crore.
DP is one of the highest-paid actresses in Bollywood, and while it is true to believe that Bharti Singh’s total fee for The Kapil Sharma Show was much higher than DP’s fee per project. However, Bharti’s fee is for the entire 4 seasons of the show that aired from 2016 – 2022. A time period where DP did 4 – 5 films or more. So, the comparison does not seem genuine.
Bharti Singh’s Fee For The Last Season
Bharti earned a total of almost 10.20 crore from her stint in The Kapil Sharma Show, season 4. This is a huge amount and much higher than what many actresses command today. So definitely, Bharti Singh is the queen of comedy.
The comedian is currently hosting Dance Deewane 4, and we hope to see her in some more entertaining projects. She was also a part of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
