When Kapil Sharma packed up his hit show Comedy Nights With Kapil from Colors, Sony channel was quick to grab the opportunity. The channel gave him a prime-time slot and he and his team made a blockbuster comeback with The Kapil Sharma Show. And to call Kapil a Pied Piper won’t be wrong. For wherever he goes, TRPs follow. Needless to say, Colors suffered a backlash, and Sony danced to the bank and TRP charts.
Now, according to a DNA report, it appears that Kapil Sharma is worth his weight in remuneration too. The paper said that Kapil demands a whopping Rs. 60-80 lakhs per episode. If you do the math, eight episodes of the show are telecast every month, bringing Kapil’s pay cheque close to Rs 5 crore every month.
Former Gutthi, now Doctor Mashoor Gulati, Sunil Grover gets around Rs. 10-12 lakhs per episode. Kiku Sharda, still remembered for his character of Palak on Colors, pockets Rs. 5-7 lakhs a day. Ali Asgar also receives the same amount. We can vouch that nobody could’ve played drag on the show – Dadi initially and now Pushpa Naani — like Ali did. Others on the show including Chandan Prabhakar, who plays Chandu (Rs. 4 lakh) and the two ladies including Sumona Chakravarti (Rs. 6-7 lakh) and Rochelle Rao (Rs. 3-4 lakh) also charge a decent amount. The major source of giggles on the show, Navjot Singh Sidhu, is paid Rs. 8-10 lakh every episode to add his signature “guru” laughter.
