Rajan Shahi's family drama, Anupamaa, has been continuing strong since the beginning. The plotline and characters of the daily drama are so relatable that viewers can't get enough of them. On the other side, Rupali Ganguly, who plays the titular heroine, has earned a lot of accolades for her performance. The actress is currently one of India's top television stars, and according to recent reports, she is the highest-paid actress on the country's small screen.
The Sanjivani actress plays a housewife who is betrayed by her husband Vanraj due to his love affair with his workplace colleague Kavya in the daily soap. In the midst of all of this, Anu's history resurfaces, drastically altering her existence. Aside from Rupali, Sudhanshu Pandey, Madalsa Sharma, Gaurav Khanna, Nidhi Shah, Paras Kalnawat, and Aneri Vajani have minor roles in the show.
Before Anupamaa, Rupali Ganguly rose to notoriety for her role as Monisha in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. The Star Plus show, however, benefited her in reaching greater heights because nearly every family is aware of her acting talent. Ganguly is the highest-paid actress on Indian television, according to Bollywood Life, now that she has established herself as a household name.
That's right, you read that correctly. According to a source close to the situation who spoke to the entertainment portal, “Rupali Ganguly started with a fee of Rs 1.5 lakh per day. It was in the high bracket but then she is a senior actress. Now, she is commanding Rs three lakh per day. She is now the highest-paid actress on Indian TV. Rupali Ganguly has beaten many popular younger names in the business.”
Not only does she earn more than actresses, but she also earns more than prominent male television stars like Ram Kapoor and Ronit Bose Roy.
