Ekta Kapoor has done it again! Just when we thought our TV remotes were safe from dramatic zoom-ins and endless plot twists, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 has walked back into our lives in a heavy Kanjeevaram saree-nostalgia dripping from every pallu fold.

If you grew up in the early 2000s, chances are your evenings were ruled by one woman-Smriti Irani, aka Tulsi Virani-and her undying love for the Virani khandaan.

Whether it was Mihir coming back from the dead (twice), or Ba aging backward like Benjamin Button, this was more than a show. It was a national emotion. And now, it's back. Sharper sarees, glossier sets, and a star cast that's charging top-tier TV money to stir our emotions (again).

So naturally, the first question that comes to mind is-kitna mil raha hai inko per episode? From OG favorites like Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan to the epic comeback of Smriti Irani, here's how much the stars of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 are charging to bring back the sanskaari storm.

Hiten Tejwani

Hiten Tejwani, the face of sanskaari men from the golden era of Indian soaps, will be seen in a lead role. He's reportedly charging ₹1 to ₹1.5 lakh per episode, proving that slow-motion entry shots and emotional close-ups really do pay off.

Amar Upadhyay

Yes, the OG Mihir Virani is back on screen. Amar Upadhyay is reportedly getting ₹1.5 lakh per episode. Considering the amount of collective grief Indian aunties felt when he "died" in Season 1, this paycheck is well-earned reparations.

Kamalika Guha Thakurta

The elegant and seasoned actress Kamalika Guha Thakurta is also part of this nostalgic revival. She's being paid ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh per episode. That's the cost of one cold stare and a mysterious "Main sab jaanti hoon" monologue.

Ketki Dave

Ketki Dave, who gave us the most meme-worthy 'aaraaraarao' in TV history, is reportedly earning ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh per episode. Emotional damage for her characters comes with financial rewards this time.

Shakti Anand, the strong, silent type in every show ever, is said to be earning ₹80,000 to ₹1.5 lakh per episode. For that kind of money, he better deliver monologues that shake up joint families and generations alike.

The ever-graceful Gauri Pradhan will be playing a pivotal role in Ekta Kapoor's family empire reboot. Her calm face hides a lot of household chaos, and for that, she's earning ₹80,000 to ₹1.5 lakh per episode.

Smriti Irani

This is not a typo. Smriti Irani is reportedly charging ₹14 per episode for her appearance. Is it a symbolic gesture? A nod to her roots before becoming a Union Minister? Or just her way of saying, "I don't need the money, I am the TRP"? Whatever the reason, this fee has become more dramatic than any plot twist.

With this reboot, it's clear that nostalgia is now a full-fledged business model. For viewers, it's about reliving simpler times. For actors, it's about being rewarded for decades of emotional damage caused by family politics, kitchen conspiracies, and falling down stairs in slow motion.
