Jaya Bhattacharya’s Heartfelt Revelation: A Meager Rs. 1000 Raise in 7 Years on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi

Veteran actress Jaya Bhattacharya, known for her memorable role in the iconic Indian television series “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,” recently shared a poignant experience about her time on the show. In a candid interview, she revealed receiving a surprisingly modest raise of only Rs. 1000 over seven years of dedicated work.

A Small Raise That Hit Hard

Bhattacharya’s revelation offers a glimpse into the often-unseen realities of the television industry. The small increment, she confessed, significantly impacted her ego. It’s a relatable sentiment for many, highlighting the emotional connection between one’s compensation and their perceived value.

Disparities in Pay Among the Cast

When questioned about whether her fellow cast members experienced similar treatment, Bhattacharya’s response was telling: “Ohhh yes… woh log toh kahan se kahan paunch gaye” (Oh yes, they have reached great heights). This statement suggests a stark contrast in the financial growth of different actors on the show, raising questions about pay equity and the factors influencing such disparities.
