India’s Highest Paid TV Actor: Rs 3.5 Lakh Per Episode! Who Is It?

Meet the Indian TV Actor Who Charges ₹3.5 Lakh Per Episode – And It’s Not Rupali Ganguly or Dilip Joshi

He’s not Rupali Ganguly or Dilip Joshi, but this actor is now the highest-paid star in Indian television — and he’s making a big comeback after nearly 8 years.

The Indian TV industry is full of talented actors who work hard to become popular. One of them is Sharad Kelkar, who started his career in 2001. Over the years, Sharad became known for his strong performances on TV and in films.

After taking a break from daily soaps, Sharad is now all set to return to television with a new show called Tum Se Tum Tak. What’s more surprising is that Sharad is reportedly the highest-paid actor in the Indian TV industry right now.

According to a report by TV9 Hindi Digital, Sharad is charging around ₹3.5 lakh per episode for Tum Se Tum Tak. Although Sharad hasn’t confirmed the exact amount, the report says he now earns more than even popular stars like Rupali Ganguly and Dilip Joshi.

The report also mentions that Sharad is giving more time to this show than he usually does for films. He’s reportedly working 10 hours a day on the show, earning ₹3.5 lakh for each day of shooting. In the series, Sharad will star opposite actress Niharika Chouksey. The promo has already been released and received mixed reactions from viewers.

For those who don’t know, Tum Se Tum Tak is based on the Marathi show Tula Pahate Re, which ran for 11 months. The story follows a 46-year-old man who falls in love with a 19-year-old girl. The big 27-year age gap between the lead characters has definitely caught people’s attention.

Sharad Kelkar has had a successful career in both TV and films. He’s acted in shows like CID, Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka, and became a household name with Saat Phere – Saloni Ka Safar. He’s also hosted several reality shows and award functions.
