Jaya Bhattacharya Was Most Underpaid Actor On Kyunki: "Only Got Rs 1000 Raise While Others..."
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu actor Jaya Bhattacharya, who shot to fame as the conniving antagonist Payal Parikh in the show, has revealed that she "never got a raise" more than once while working on the popular soap opera. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, the actor said the one time she did ask for a raise, she was only paid only Rs 1,000 while her co-stars received Rs 2,000. And that was something that hit her ego, she said. "I was the most underpaid actor. I never got a raise. Only once I asked for a raise, and while everyone got a raise of Rs 2,000, I got only Rs 1,000. That hit my ego, so I didn't ask for it ever again and hence didn't get a raise for a straight 7 years," Jaya Bhattacharya said on the podcast. When Siddharth Kannan asked the actor whether other her fellow stars got a raise in the seven years she starred on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, she said, "Ohhh yes... Woh log toh kahan se kahan pahunch gaye (Those people reached great heights in their career)." It was reported earlier that Smriti Irani used to earn Rs 1,800 per episode when Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi premiered back in 2000. The actor, who is set to reprise her role of Tulsi Virani in the reboot of the show, is taking home Rs 14 lakh per episode as fee for new reboot series. As for Jaya Bhattacharya, it could not be immediately confirmed whether she is also returning for the reboot. The new edition of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi will premiere on July 29, 2025 (Tuesday) on Star Plus and JioHotstar at 10.30 pm.

Felt like the new boy in school but they were warm and welcoming: Tahir Raj Bhasin on 'Special Ops 2'
New Delhi, Actor Tahir Raj Bhasin says he felt like the new boy in school but everyone welcomed him warmly on the sets of Neeraj Pandey's "Special Ops 2", which features the actor in the role of an antagonist. Felt like the new boy in school but they were warm and welcoming: Tahir Raj Bhasin on 'Special Ops 2' Bhasin broke out with the Rani Mukerji-starrer "Mardaani" in 2014 where he played a negative role. His other notable ventures include "Chhichhore" and "Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein" and "83". The actor described his role of 'Collector' in "Special Ops 2" as someone who is "part gangster, part tech tycoon". "It's been about 10 years since I played an antagonist. What I really enjoy about the 'Collector' in 'Special Ops 2' is that he is a rebel with a cause," Bhasin told PTI in an interview. In the second season of the show, Kay Kay Menon's Himmat Singh is tackling cyber terrorism as a AI scientist is abducted from a tech summit in the show, which released on JioHotstar on July 18. The show also features Karan Tacker, Vinay Pathak and Muzammil Ibrahim. Bhasin said it is challenging to join a popular show in its second season. "I felt like the new boy in school where everyone else knew each other but the rest of the ensemble were very warm and welcoming. Karan, in particular, was very friendly. I spent time with Kay Kay Menon off set and it was like meeting a senior from college because you know someone who has been in Bombay so much longer that you, just knows what life is about a little more. "Every conversation I would have with Kay Kay was very enlightening... What I see in Kay Kay's work is that he is always truthful and authentic to what the part is, he's not judging the character and that's something that I hope to take forward in my work as well," he added. Which is why going head to head with Menon in the show felt like a big compliment for the actor. "I gravitate towards lead parts that are disruptive... As the show unravels, you discover why he operates in certain ways and there is an element of mystique to his character but in his mind he is a sort of reformer. One of the lines that has really stuck with the audience is 'I am also in the business of cyber security, just on a different side'." Bhasin said unlike conventional antagonists, his character relies completely on brains. "If the show had been released 10-15 years ago, it would have seemed like science fiction but in the recent past we have seen so many cyber attacks and financial attacks happen that it's all too real," he said. The actor is currently shooting for a Netflix show alongside Parineeti Chopra, which is directed by Renzil D'Silva.
