Media reports have it that through each episode of the TKSS, Kapil gets richer by around Rs 60-80 lakhs. This is not surprising since the entire show rides on his name. It was obvious that the captain of the ship would take home the larger piece of the cake.
Following Kapil on the list is actor Sunil Grover who plays many roles on the show. He charges around Rs 10-12 lakhs per episode. Navjot Singh Sidhu, earns Rs 8-10 lakhs, Sumona Chakravarti around Rs 6-7 lakhs. Reportedly, Kiku Sharda and Ali Asgar make Rs 5-7 lakhs per episode, Chandan Prabhakar gets around Rs 4 lakhs. Model turned actress Rochelle Maria Rao charges Rs 3-4 lakh per episode.
These numbers point out that not only is the show making the stars popular but also rich.
Kapil and his on-screen family moved to Sony after having ugly fallout with Colors. Despite seeing hiccups in the beginning, the show has picked up a nice pace. Their TRP rating maintains a good average. ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ is also one of the favourite spots where celebs promote their movies, thus adding to its already high popularity.
