New Delhi: Despite the immense popularity of Indian TV serials and their consistently high TRP ratings, none of the stars from these long-running shows hold the title of the richest television actor. Instead, that distinction goes to comedian Kapil Sharma, who has surpassed prominent figures like Rupali Ganguly from Anupamaa and Dilip Joshi from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Kapil Sharma earns a staggering Rs 5 crore per episode for hosting The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix, making him the wealthiest celebrity in the Indian television industry.
Kapil Sharma’s rise to the top has been fueled by his television hosting duties and film appearances, accumulating an estimated net worth of Rs 300 crore, as reported by various sources, including DNA, Firstpost, and the Times of India.
