Dilip Joshi, who plays the ever-popular Jethalal, is the highest-paid star of the show. He reportedly earns between Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 2 lakh per episode, thanks to his unmatched popularity and comic timing.
Disha Vakani: Once Equal to Joshi
Before her exit, Disha Vakani (Dayaben) was paid at the same level as Dilip Joshi. Since her departure, no one else has reached that bracket.
