Television actors enjoy huge popularity and they take fees even more than some of the film stars. The highest-paid Indian television actress reportedly takes home Rs 3 lakh per day and it's not Tejasswi Prakash, Rubina Dilaik, or Hina Khan. 

The actress we are talking about has been working in the industry for more than 22 years and started her career as a child artiste at the age of 7 and is now a part of one of the most popular television shows. She is none other than Rupali Ganguly. 

Rupali Ganguly is the daughter of Anil Ganguly, a director and screenwriter and her brother Vijay Ganguly is a choreographer. She made her acting debut in her father's film Saaheb in 1985 at the age of 7. The film starred Anil Kapoor, Amrita Singh, Raakhee, Deven Verma, Utpal Dutt, Biswajit, Vijay Arora, A. K. Hangal and Dilip Dhawan. She made her television debut in 2000 with the series Sukanya. However, she received critical acclaim and recognition for her role as Monisha in the cult sitcom Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. 

Later, in 2006, Rupali Ganguly participated in the popular reality show Bigg Boss season 1, however, got evicted in the 10th week and has also been a part of Rohit Shetty's reality stunt-based show Khatron Ke Khiladi. Since 2020, the actress has been a part of the popular TV show Anupamaa. Her dialogues from the show went viral on social media and even became meme-material. Her performance in the show is loved by the audience. The show also tops the list of TRPs. 

The actress also shares a close bond with Akshay Kumar. She is his rakhi sister and talking about her bond with the superstar, the actress once said, "Akshay is family to us. My father signed him on in his early days, and that's how we came to know him. When we met him, we were pleasantly surprised, and I remember my father saying that this person is made for stardom. Akshay is so punctual, hard-working, and a down-to-earth person. When we used to go outdoors for Papa's films, I remember Akshay used to wake up early in the morning at 4 am and work out. My father is very proud of him, and always fond of him. So, because of my father, Akshay Kumar became very close to me, and I started tying 'Rakhi' to him. The friendship that had been lost for almost 30 years has now been rekindled due to 'Ravivaar with Star Parivaar'."

Rupali Ganguly is married to a businessman Ashwin K. Verma and the couple also has a son together. Ganguly has established herself as one of the most popular and highest paid television actresses in India. She reportedly takes home Rs 3 lakh per episode and has a whopping net worth of Rs 20 crores.
