Jaya Bhattacharya Recalls Rs 1000 Raise In 7 Years On Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Set: ‘Hit My Ego'
Last Updated: Jaya Bhattacharya revealed she was the 'most underpaid' actor on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, receiving just Rs 1000 raise in seven years. Actor Jaya Bhattacharya, best known for playing Payal Parikh in the iconic Indian soap opera Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, revealed she was the 'most underpaid' actor on the show. In a candid chat with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube podcast, Jaya reflected on her experience working on the show for over seven years and opened up about the lack of fair compensation. Jaya shared, '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 2 thousand rupees, I got only 1 thousand. 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." When asked if her fellow cast members received better raises over the years, she replied, 'Ohhh yes… woh log toh kahan se kahan paunch gaye (They reached great heights in their careers)." Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Set For Reboot Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, created by Ekta Kapoor and aired on Star Plus from 2000 to 2008, was a game-changer for Indian television. The series, starring Smriti Irani as Tulsi, defined the 'saas-bahu" genre and became a household favourite across the country. Now, 17 years later, the show is returning with a fresh perspective. The reboot is set to premiere on Star Plus and JioCinema (formerly Hotstar) on July 29. A new promo features Tulsi speaking about the importance of values in a fast-changing world. Roles Played Apart from her role in Kyunki, Jaya Bhattacharya has featured in several TV shows like Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Sa Aasmaan, Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev, Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, and Thapki Pyar Ki. She's also been part of films like Devdas, Lajja, Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi, and The Wishing Tree. First Published: July 28, 2025, 12:14 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
