Gossip mills are buzzing with the rumours that Karan Singh Grover is being paid a whopping amount for ‘Kasautii 2’. The ‘Qubool Hai’ actor is taking home a fee of Rs 3 lakh per day for the popular TV show.
Speculations were earlier rife that KSG was apprehensive about returning back to the small screen due to long shooting hours. However, it is now being said that the ‘Hate Story 3’ actor has decided to make a comeback to TV as his wishes have been fulfilled by Ekta Kapoor.
A report in a portal has suggested that Karan Singh Grover will take home a hefty amount of Rs 75 lakh for his stint in ‘Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2’.
“Ekta Kapoor had to work hard to convince Karan to work for the show. It was not that Karan did not want to do this show but he was confused about returning to acting on the small screen. But Ekta considered him the best choice for Mr. Bajaj’s role. When Karan told Ekta he would charge Rs 3 lakh per day she readily agreed,” a source told DBpost.
“With this fee, Karan sought to work for 12 hours a day for 25 days in a month,” the source further said.
