Posted by admin on Sep 11th, 2011 | 1 comment

Bollywood actresses still get a fixed price as a remuneration and do not enjoy the privilege of percentage share in profits as some of the male stars like Aamir Khan and Salman Khan get. But then, the girls still make an enviable lot of money and have more avenues to earn a handsome amount of remuneration through activities like stage-shows and special appearances at events, ad-endorsements etc. The actresses today are definitely smarter than the yesteryear lot when it comes to managing money as well. Here is the list of the highest paid actresses of Bollywood

Kareena Kapoor: The highest paid actress in Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor has been quoted a price of Rs. 8 crores for Heroine. Plus she has the first move in getting a percentage share in the profit of Heroine, something that may make the other women envious.
Katrina Kaif: The sexy Katrina Kaif who is the most popular actress in the country has been paid a whopping Rs. 2. 5 crores for the ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’ song that she will do in the Tamil version of Dabangg.
Priyanka Chopra: The IT raids had Priyanka Chopra’s wealth splashing in the media; she was stated to have 10 plush mansions in Mumbai. The actress said that she cannot help it if she earns enough. With multiple film- corporate contracts and endorsements, Priyanka Chopra is definitely hot property.
Deepika Padukone: She recently purchased a Rs. 16 crore home in Central Mumbai, raising eyebrows. Deepika is the actress who has seen amazing popularity in just four years.
Aishwarya Rai: Aishwarya Rai is a global brand, need we say more? She is the only actress in this list who is equally recognized in the West as well as India.
Vidya Balan: Vidya Balan is being paid her quoted amount and the financers are waxing eloquent on her. The amazing turnaround in her career post Paa and Ishqiya has been phenomenal. Whether it is the Plain Jane role in No One Killed Jessica or the erotic one in Dirty Picture, she never fails to surprise.
Bipasha Basu: Bipasha Basu charges more than Rs. 2 crores for her item numbers on New Year ‘s Eve. There is news that she charges Rs. 3 crore per film. She had demanded an obscene amount of Rs. 1 crore for just one item song in Murder 2 and the Bhatts decided to take someone cheaper instead.
Sonakshi Sinha: After Dabangg, Sonakshi Sinha is reportedly charging Rs. 2 crores for the Kamal Hassan film ‘Vishwaroopam’. It remains to be seen whether she justifies her price.
Rani Mukherjee: Back with a bang after striking hot in ‘No One Killed Jessica’ Rani Mukherjee cannot be taken lightly at all. She was among the list of the highest tax payers in 2010 despite raining flops. The fee that she charges these days is anywhere between Rs.3 and Rs. 5 crores
Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty: These smart women were well aware about the shelf-life of a Bollywood heroine, and though these two can still bring the nation to its knees by their smoldering looks, they have decided to branch out onto other money-making avenues. Both have invested in IPL, movies, other businesses and endorsement deals.
