Kapil Sharma Becomes Richest TV Star, Surpasses Top Actors in Net Worth

Kapil Sharma, known for his incredible comedy talent, has now become the richest actor in the Indian television industry. Over the years, actors like Dilip Joshi (Jethalal from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah), Rupali Ganguly (Anupama), and Tejashwi Prakash (Bigg Boss winner and Naagin fame) have been considered the highest-paid TV stars. However, Kapil Sharma has surpassed them all with a staggering net worth of Rs 300 crore.

Kapil’s High Earnings from Shows

While Rupali Ganguly charges Rs 3 lakh per episode and Dilip Joshi earns Rs 2 lakh, Kapil Sharma’s earnings have skyrocketed. He previously charged Rs 25 lakh per episode for The Kapil Sharma Show, but now he is reportedly earning Rs 5 crore per episode for his new Netflix show, The Great Indian Kapil Show. This massive jump in his pay has further boosted his wealth, solidifying his position as the richest star on Indian television.

Success in TV, Challenges in Films

Kapil’s latest comedy show has been making waves, with co-stars like Sunil Grover and Kiku Sharda adding to the show’s popularity. Despite his success in television, Kapil’s journey in films hasn’t been as successful. He has appeared in movies like Zwigato, Firangi, and Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. Although all three films didn’t perform well at the box office, Kapil’s performance in Zwigato was praised by critics.

Kapil Sharma continues to reign as the king of Indian television, both in popularity and wealth.
