This young TV actress topples even Bollywood greats in earnings

Indian television shows have a huge global following. This has led to Indian television stars, not just film stars, gaining international recognition. The Indian television industry is predominantly led by women performers. Generally, in the acting field, the highest remuneration goes to senior artists with years of experience. However, the Indian television industry is an exception. A 23-year-old actress is the highest-paid television star in India. Jannat Zubair, who gained prominence through serials and reality shows, earns lakhs of rupees per episode.

Jannat has a fan following comparable to or even exceeding that of film stars. This is evident from her Instagram followers. While superstar Shah Rukh Khan has 46 million followers on Instagram, Jannat surpasses him with 49.7 million followers. She also boasts 6.37 million subscribers on YouTube. Thus, she has firmly established herself as an international influencer.

Born in Mumbai in 2001, Jannat started her career as a child artist and has remained in the television industry ever since. Her profile includes a long list of super hit television shows like, 'Kashi - Ab Na Rahe Tera Kagaz Kora,' 'Dill Mill Gayye', 'Tu Aashiqui', 'Phulwa', and 'Fear Files'. Reality shows are another area of her success. She has been a part of 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 12' and 'Laughter Chefs'. In 'Fear Factor', she was the highest paid participant, receiving around Rs 18 lakh per episode.

In 'Laughter Challenge', she received Rs 2 lakh per episode. Beyond these, she has gained a large fan base through private music albums. She has also acted in four Hindi films, including 'Hitchki'. She earns a substantial income from social media posts, receiving between Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 2 lakh per post. Through these diverse avenues, she has amassed assets worth Rs 250 crore in a short period.

These achievements enabled her to buy her own house at the age of 21. She has also received numerous awards since 2011. It's noteworthy that her acting career hasn't negatively impacted her education. She completed her higher secondary education with 81% marks and holds a degree from a private college in Kandivali, Mumbai.
