 The show is about the relationship that an estranged couple continues to share because of their children. The protagonists, Nachiket Khanna and Ragini Patel, will be shown rediscovering their relationship during one of their daughter’s wedding, when they face each other after 15 years of alienation. While Ronit Roy’s character will be shown indifferent and insensitive towards his ex-wife, Pallavi Kulkarni’s character would be shown struggling between her feelings for her ex-husband and her current partner, the character most probably portrayed by Darshan Pandya. He was last seen as Vineet Raizada in another <keyword id="15107" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Balaji">Balaji</keyword> show Kya Huaa Tera Vaada. 
 
From the first look, the show looks promising and emotional, but as is the case with most of the Indian television shows, we wonder if this show too would fall for the age-old traps of leaps, plastic surgeries, and selective amnesia.

Another Middle-Age Romance Saga From Balaji

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/36289285.cms" /> 
Gone are the days when the small screen was not a lucrative career option for actors. But today, TV can be your ticket to Bollywood (we need not tell you what SRK and Sushant Singh Rajput have done in this regard) and it also pays big bucks for your efforts. While most of the careers compensate you after a month of slogging, a popular TV star can easily bag thousands at the end of each episode. Here’s a look at eight Indian TV stars who take home the fattest pay cheques. 
 
1. <keyword id="17416" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ram-Kapoor">Ram Kapoor</keyword> 
The BIG man of Indian television, who made his TV debut with the serial Ghar Ek Mandir, where he played husband to Gautami Gadgil (now his wife), is the biggest star on Indian telly. According to media reports he charges a whopping Rs 1.25 lakh per day. After kissing popularity with shows like Kasam Se and Bade Achche Lagte Hain, Kapoor is enjoying his stint on big screen these days with films like Agent Vinod and Humshakals. 
 
2. <keyword id="6360486" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ronit-Roy">Ronit Roy</keyword> 
He started his acting career in movies, but it was television where Ronit Roy struck gold. With shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, he became the hot favourite among audiences. These days, he is seen playing a famous defence lawyer, KD Pathak, in Adaalat and his compensation amounts to Rs 1.25 lakh per day. 
 
3. <keyword id="6378149" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ankita-Lokhande">Ankita Lokhande</keyword> 
Sushant Singh Rajput’s long-standing girlfriend rose to fame after playing Archana in Pavitra Rishta. Ankita was being paid Rs 70,000 per day when she decided to take a break for three months. Buzz was that to bring her back on the show, her fee was hiked to Rs 1 lakh per episode. 
 
4. <keyword id="6358984" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sakshi-Tanwar">Sakshi Tanwar</keyword> 
One of the most coveted actresses on Indian television, Sakshi Kanwar has come a long way. It was the lead role of Parvati in Ekta Kapoor’s soap Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii that made her a household name. Then she topped the popularity chart by playing Priya in the popular show, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. Her chemistry with Ram Kapoor is the high point of the show. The actress takes home anything between Rs 70,000-1 lakh per day. And she shoots only 15 days in a month. 
 
5. Shivaji Satam 
He is the popular ACP Pradyuman from India’s longest running crime series CID. This popular Marathi actor, who is also seen playing supporting roles in Bollywood, is one of the A-listers when it comes to the TV industry. He earns around Rs 1 lakh per episode. 
 
6. Karan Singh Grover 
This hot hunk of Indian telly got a huge fan following after playing Dr Armaan Mallik in the TV serial Dill Mill Gayye. After that, he participated in a dance reality show and vanished from the scene. However, we saw him making a successful comeback with Qubool Hai. Buzz is that even after the break, the boy demanded Rs 80,000 per day, which he got, and today he is making Rs 20 lakh a month. 
 
7. Drashti Dhami 
Popularly known as Madhubala, from the serial, Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, Drashti charges Rs 60,000-70,000 per day and shoots for 20 days a month. Now, that’s indeed some amount. 
 
8. <keyword id="27383" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shweta-Tiwari">Shweta Tiwari</keyword> 
Her stint with the small screen started with the tele serial Kasautii Zindagii Kay that established her as the new queen bee of television. Although the show is now over, Shweta continues to appear in reality and comedy shows. She has also done a couple of tele serials including Parvarish: Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi. Shweta takes home as much as Rs 60,000 per day.

Indian television always brings to its viewers some promising stories, some of which manage to strike a chord while others get lost in the heap of similar looking plots. 
 
In the coming weeks, you would be presented three different stories on three different channels. All the soaps have promising trailers and different storylines. What remains to be watched is what would be the factor that would determine the success of these serials. Also, it would be interesting to know if these shows would be able to break the magic spell that Zindagi has cast over the Indian audience. 
Here are some insider details about these upcoming shows: 
 
Laut Aao Trisha This <keyword id="3366456" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Life-OK">Life OK</keyword> show is produced by Nandita Mehra and Bhairavi Raichuda’s production house that goes by the name of 24 Frames and had earlier produced Chhal — Sheh Aur Maat. This serial is set to break some norms of Indian television. The show would be a social thriller woven around a mother’s quest to find her teenage daughter who goes missing. The show would, for the first time on Indian television, focus on incest, or in-family crimes as we call it. The plot is woven around a Spanish telenovela Dónde está Elisa. The show also marks the comeback of Maine Pyar Kiya fame Bhagyashree, and has Rajeshwari Sachdev Badola, <keyword id="806844" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Jai-Kalra">Jai Kalra</keyword> (last seen in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain) and Eijaz Khan in other roles. The serial would be aired from 21st July at 10 PM. 
 
Now coming to the inside details, we have heard that Laut Aao Trisha was first titled 'Missing' and was supposed to air on Star Plus. However, the recent success of Life Ok, and that too without any typical family drama, proved to be the decision maker for the fate of this show. 
 
Jamai Raja The <keyword id="6462633" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Zee-Tv">Zee Tv</keyword> show is different in terms of role reversal. Yes, you read it right. Up till today, we were shown various daughters-in-law taking it upon themselves to unite and hold together their new homes. However, in this show, we would be seeing <keyword id="146031" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ravi-Dubey">Ravi Dubey</keyword> playing a dutiful son-in-law who would work his way into strengthening the ties between his wife and his in-laws. Different concept, experienced cast like Ravi Dubey, Nia Sharma, Achint Kaur and Delnaz Irani, and a prime slot, this all would make Jamai Raja a must watch. The show will begin from 4th August at 8:30 PM. 
 Now coming to the inside details, this show is the first television production venture of <keyword id="2823" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Akshay-Kumar">Akshay Kumar</keyword>, who has hit gold with producing movies under his banner Hari Om Productions. He would be producing Jamai Raja under Grazing Goat productions, in collaboration with <keyword id="193280" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Ashwini-Yardi">Ashwini Yardi</keyword>. 
 
Shastri Sisters The <keyword id="35780" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="colors">Colors</keyword> drama would be focusing on the relationship of four sisters as they move from Kanpur to Delhi. Although it has not been made yet, but still the storyline is not fresh, as we have seen some shows before as well, like Amanat, Radha Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi, Shubh Vivah and Kasamh Se, that focused on 3-4 sisters and sometimes a single parent, and the closeness they share with each other. However, the fact that the show is based in Delhi can be a welcome change for the audience. The show is produced by Shakuntalam Telefilms, and stars Neha Pednekar, Ishita Ganguly, <keyword id="2226694" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Sonal-Vengurlekar">Sonal Vengurlekar</keyword> and Pragati Chourasiya in the lead roles. The male leads are yet to be announced. The show will begin from 21st July at 7 PM. 
 
Now coming to the inside details, it seems like the recent success of Life Ok in terms of the number one channel has stirred something inside the Colors’ office. The channel is reported to have undertaken a 360-degree integrated marketing campaign to promote Shastri Sisters across various media like cable, radio, OOH, in-train branding, print and television. Also, the channel has designed a special digital campaign which is being implemented on social media in form of quizzes.
