But with, we have interesting news to share with you guys. There are rumours that the lead actor Nakuul Mehta aka Shivaay Singh Oberoi demanded a whopping amount of Rs. 2 Lakhs per episode of Ishqbaaz and Dil Bole Oberoi.
Quite Shocking!
According to the source of Mid-day, “The channel will be combining the two shows and running it for an hour to avoid [the logistics of creating] two scripts and separate sets. This will also prevent actors from demanding more money. Nakuul, who is an important part of both the shows, has been earning about Rs 80,000-85,000 per episode. But he asked for close to Rs 2 lakh to appear on both. Following suit, other actors have also started asking for a raise.”
But Nakuul didn’t comment on this rumour and instead said, “We are happy to have evolved from a half-hour show to an hour-long one. Personally, I’m happy to welcome my extended family back on our mother show. On a lighter note, this may give us a breather and a chance to take more than one loo break, considering we’ll have a larger work force now.”
As per another report Nakuul is the highest paid actor in Ishqbaaz. He gets 80,000 to 85000 per episode and Surbhi Chandna aka Anika gets 70,000 per episode.
On the other side, Kunal Jaisingh aka Omkara Singh Oberoi and Leenesh Mattoo aka Rudra Singh Oberoi get 25,000 per episode.
