Bollywood, a major force in entertainment, offers its top stars a rich career. Although male performers have historically demanded larger salaries, this is slowly shifting as leading ladies also demand hefty compensation for their parts. Let’s explore the world of the highest-paid actresses in Bollywood.
Deepika Padukone: Reigning Queen of Bollywood
Currently, Deepika Padukone holds the coveted title of the highest-paid actress in Bollywood. Her consistent success, coupled with her ability to deliver box office hits, has solidified her position at the top. With a commanding fee in the range of ₹15-20 crores per film, Deepika’s star power is undeniable. Her recent triumphs, including Pathaan, Jawan, and Kalki 2898 AD, have further elevated her market value.
Alia Bhatt: The Rising Star
Close on Deepika’s heels is the immensely talented Alia Bhatt. With a string of successful films, both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, Alia has established herself as a force to be reckoned with. Her ability to effortlessly transition between different genres has widened her appeal. Alia commands a fee of around ₹15 crores per film, reflecting her growing stature in the industry.
Kareena Kapoor: The Veteran Diva
Kareena Kapoor is still in high demand as an actor despite her years in the business. Her admirers are devoted to her because of her refined on-screen persona and superb acting abilities. Even though Kareena receives ₹8-11 crores each film—slightly less than Deepika and Alia—her influence and brand worth are still significant.
The Fierce Competition
Beyond the top three, the Bollywood landscape boasts a plethora of talented actresses who command significant paychecks. Katrina Kaif and Shraddha Kapoor share the fourth and fifth positions, each charging around ₹8-10 crores per film. Their successful careers and strong fan following contribute to their high market value.
Following closely behind are Kriti Sanon, Kiara Advani, Kangana Ranaut, and Taapsee Pannu, all of whom command fees in the range of ₹5-8 crores. These actresses have carved their own niches and are steadily climbing the ladder of success.
