Mumbai: Former Union Minister and famous TV actress Smriti Irani has once again made a comeback on the small screen.

She is once again seen in the iconic character of 'Tulsi Virani' in the show 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2' being aired on Star Plus. This show is becoming increasingly popular among the audience and Smriti's return has brought back old memories among the fans.

But this time the discussion is not only about her character but also about her hefty fees.

Broke records in fees for one episode
According to reports, Smriti Irani is charging around Rs 14 lakh for each episode of this show. According to this, she will get a huge amount of Rs 21 crore for the 150 episodes of the show.

This figure is more than the fees of many big actresses not only in the TV world but also in Bollywood. Media reports are claiming that Smriti Irani has also left behind Bollywood's top actress Deepika Padukone in terms of fees.

Deepika got a fee of about Rs 15 crore for Shahrukh Khan's film 'Pathan', while Smriti is earning Rs 21 crore from 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2'. Let us tell you, Smriti Irani, who overshadowed the fees of TV actors, has also left other big stars of the TV industry far behind in terms of fees.

'Anupama' fame Rupali Ganguly's one episode fee is around Rs 3 lakh.

Hina Khan gets around Rs 2 lakh for an episode.

'Jethalal' of 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' i.e. Dilip Joshi charges around Rs 1.5 lakh per episode. Compared to all these figures, Smriti Irani's fee of Rs 14 lakh per episode is many times more, making her the highest paid actress on Indian television.
