To Sum It Up
The Bollywood industry is believed to be the largest entertainment industry in our country. Not only the actors, nowadays even the top Bollywood heroines charge remuneration that might shock you. These ladies understand their brand value and know how to make money by entertaining audiences with their acting skills and good looks. The top Bollywood heroines not only earn by acting in movies but also by other means like brand endorsements, running their own business lines, being a part of reality shows, etc. Not only in Bollywood, but even the South Indian heroines have also started to charge a handsome fee for doing movies. The highest-paid South Indian heroine name is Anushka Shetty. But the South Indian heroines do not earn as much as the Bollywood heroines even if they are on the top of their game.
