Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 Cast Salary: Here Is The Amount Charged By Smriti Irani, Amar Upadhyay, And Others

Tell me honestly — did your mom ever scold you for changing the channel when Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was on? Same! Some of us literally grew up watching Tulsi fight, forgive, and fight again — while Daksha Ben spied on everyone and Mihir came back from the dead (twice, at least?).

If your childhood had even one scene where your mom would say, “Shhh! Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi aa raha hai!” — Congratulations, you’ve lived through Indian TV’s golden age. The Virani parivaar, Tulsi’s dramatic sighs, Mihir’s return from the dead (more than once!), Daksha Ben’s non-stop spying — they were all family, right?

Well, brush that nostalgia off because Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is here. And this time, our beloved Tulsi and co. are not just back for the drama — they’re back with seriously impressive paycheques. So pour your chai, grab that leftover biscuit — let’s talk about who’s earning what!

 

Amar Upadhyay

Mihir was every mom’s favourite son-in-law — good manners, good salary, good hair. Amar Upadhyay is stepping back into those shoes again, and this time he’s earning about ₹1.5 lakh per episode. Remember when Mihir “died”, then came back, then died again? For all that emotional stress, the man deserves every paisa!

 

Smriti Irani

Smriti Irani is Tulsi — no debates there. The woman who once scolded everyone with just one look is now earning a mind-blowing ₹14 lakh per episode. Can you believe it? She once got ₹1,800 for this same role! Now she’s running Parliament and the Virani household again. Icon behaviour, honestly.

 

Hiten Tejwani

Hiten Tejwani’s Karan was the kind of son every family wanted — polite, loyal, ready to cry at a moment’s notice. He’s back in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, taking home somewhere between ₹1 lakh to ₹1.5 lakh per episode. No surprise — he did keep half the show afloat back then with his emotional scenes.

 

Gauri Pradhan

If Karan’s around, his Nandini can’t be far behind. Gauri Pradhan’s graceful bahu vibes are back too, and she’s earning ₹80,000 to ₹1.5 lakh per episode. Her calm voice, her patience, her tragic love story — get ready for more teary eyes and dramatic dialogues!

 

Shakti Anand

Shakti Anand is the guy you call when you want a secret brother, a surprise villain, or just more masala. He’s back too — earning about ₹80,000 to ₹1.5 lakh per episode. If he’s around, you know there’s a hidden plot twist waiting behind the Virani curtains.

 

Kamalika Guha Thakurta

Another blast from the past! Kamalika Guha Thakurta is returning too, charging about ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh per episode. She’s that classic family drama character — polite one second, savage the next. Who else can drop a “Sab dekh liya maine!” at just the right moment?

 

Ketki Dave

Finally — the legend herself. Daksha Ben, the original neighbourhood news channel. Ketki Dave is slipping back into those iconic sarees, nosey questions and sideways glances. For her signature spying, she’s taking home ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh per episode. Let’s be real: half the drama would never reach Tulsi if Daksha Ben didn’t whisper it in someone’s ear first!

 

Same Family, New Pay!

JioHotstar

So here we are, same Viranis, same theme music (we hope!), but bigger salaries and maybe even bigger secrets. One thing’s certain: your evenings are about to get that old-school TV warmth again.

So tell your mom to finish her WhatsApp call, call your dadi to the sofa, and get ready for Shantiniketan’s doors to open wide once more. Because no matter how big their paycheques get, the Viranis will always feel like family.

Want all the BTS gossip and spoilers before Daksha Ben does?
