The television host, who turned a year older on May 30, shared a video of Dharmendra on his Instagram story, thanking him for the message. In the video, Dharmendra was seen sending his best wishes to the Laughter Chefs 2 participant. The veteran actor said Krushna spreads joy among people. 'My dear Krushna, today is your birthday, a very special day. You cheer everyone up. Krushna, be happy, be healthy and be merry. See you soon. I love you," the Dharam Veer actor said. This wasn't the only big surprise Krushna Abhishek received on his birthday. His birthday celebration on the sets of Laughter Chefs 2 was made even more momentous by a birthday wish from his uncle Govinda. As per a Times of India report, during the celebrations, the crew played a message by Govinda wherein he said, 'Janamdin ki bohot bohot shubhkamnayein (Wish you a very happy birthday)." This stunned Krushna and his wife, Kashmera, who is also a contestant on the show. The makers of the show shared a promo of this scene on their social media handles.

One of the users even suggested the Hero No. 1 actor be brought on set as their upcoming guest on the show. Krushna Abhishek and Govinda had a fallout years ago. The strained relationship between the two seemed to be over last year when Govinda appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show. He hugged his nephew on stage, seemingly putting an end to speculation about their bond. Govinda also opened up on what caused his ties with Krushna Abhishek to take a turn for the worse. The matter began in 2016 after the Dulhe Raja actor found one of his nephew's jokes disrespectful. Speaking about his reconciliation with Govinda, Krushna Abhishek said on the Great Indian Kapil Show, 'For the first time, I broke character but I would like to say one thing – Today is one of the most special day, one of the most memorable day. My seven years of Vanvaas ended today by sharing the stage with my uncle. I think this is one of the best moments. Everyone was hoping for it too." First Published:

Meet highest earning TV star in India, earns ₹60 crore per month, not Kapil Sharma, Rupali Ganguly or Amitabh Bachchan
Known for his massive fan followings across India and abroad, clubbed with his unmatched screen presence, this actor is India's highest-paid TV star. He appears only in one TV show and takes home a whopping ₹ 60 crore per month. If you're guessing Kapil Sharma, Rupali Ganguly of Anupamaa fame, or even Amitabh Bachchan, think again-- you are not even close. The highest-earning TV star in India is Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. As per a report of Hindustan Times, Salman Khan charges ₹ 60 crore per month for hosting Bigg Boss 18 which premiered on 6 October, 2024 on Colors TV and JioCinema. Quoting sources close to the show production, the report revealed that Salman hiked his fees last year and now the final remuneration is close to ₹ 60 crore per month. Bigg Boss 18 ran for 15 weeks just like the previous season and concluded with its finale episode on January 19, 2025. Karan Veer Mehra became the winner of the season. Working for 15 weeks, Salman has reportedly earned somewhere around 250 crore. Salman Khan has become the face of the Bigg Boss house for more than a decade now. The show initially began with Arshad Warsi and then Amitabh Bachchan as the hosts, however the ratings of the show skyrocketed ever since Salman came on board. In fact, when Bigg Boss shifted to OTT with Karan Johar taking on the hosting duties, it failed to generate the same buzz that Salman's presence brings. In fact, at times when Salman skipped Bigg Boss episodes due to health issues or film commitments, the show ratings reportedly dipped, claimed the report. Hence, Salman remains the backbone of the show's success and it is no brainer why the makers are happy to pay him more. Reportedly, Salman who used to charge somewhere between ₹ 5 and ₹ 10 crore per film, began working on Bigg Boss 15 years ago. As it is believed that he earns around ₹ 150 crore per film, he demands similar fees for the TV show which takes a good one-third of his year. Notably, no one comes close to Salman Khan's fees. While the richest TV star Kapil Sharma is said to earn around ₹ 60 crore for The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 1, the richest female TV star Rupali Ganguly seemingly charges ₹ 3 lakh per episode for Anupamaa. Salman's TV success can only be compared with Amitabh Bachchan who is the driving force behind yet another long-running, successful TV show, Kaun Banega Crorepati. However, one must consider that Amitabh works for five episodes a week, earning more money than Salman who only shoots two episodes a week for Bigg Boss. According to a report of GQ Magazine, Salman Khan's net worth is estimated to be around ₹ 2,900 crore.

Shana Naidu, Kirana Naidu, Janana Naidu: Watch Sunil Grover's desperate attempts to enter Rana Naidu season 2
As fans gear up for season 2 of Karan Anshuman and Suparn Verma's action thriller show Rana Naidu, Sunil Grover 'auditioned' to play the lead role in the new instalment, much to the chagrin of Rana Daggubati. On Tuesday, Netflix India dropped a hilarious video 'Rana Naidu vs Shana Naidu: Who will make it to season 2?' The video starts with Daggubati performing action stunts in typical Rana Naidu fashion, before someone abruptly calls 'Cut!' When Daggubati angrily asks, 'Who called for cut,' Grover pops up dressed exactly like Daggubati, in a white shirt, dark suit, and even sporting the same moustache and beard. He introduces himself as Shana Naidu, the 'asli hero' of season 2. Grover keeps mimicking Daggubati, who calls him a 'low-res version.' Grover proposes to Daggubati that he'd bring more tameez (manners) to season 2 as he's the most shareef (well-behaved). When Daggubati doesn't relent, Grover presents multiple options for the season 2 lead: Haryana Naidu, Kirana (shopkeeper) Naidu, Bandana Naidu, Aana Naidu, Jana Naidu, Banana Naidu, and Fulana Naidu, but Daggubati doesn't seem pleased. Grover then pulls out the card he saved for the last: A Deepfake message from Daggubati's uncle and co-star Venkatesh Daggubati, asking Rana to let Shana be the season 2 lead. Rana doesn't fall prey, and makes Grover 'Rawana Naidu.' At the end of the video, Grover pops up again, cross-dressed, proposing 'Janana (woman) Naidu,' before Rana makes him run away. Grover often cross-dressed as Gutthi on The Kapil Sharma Show. Now, he appears an Engineer Chumbak on The Great Indian Kapil Show, hosted by Kapil Sharma, season 3 of which will premiere on Netflix India on June 21. Meanwhile, Rana Naidu season 2 will drop on the platform on June 13. An official adaptation of popular American series Ray Donovan, the show brought together the real life uncle-nephew duo for the first time. It follows the life of Rana Naidu (Rana), the go-to guy for everyone in Bollywood when they have a problem, and his tense equation with estranged father Naga (Venkatesh). Also Read — Rana Naidu Season 2 teaser: Arjun Rampal brings more fuel to the fiery duel between Venkatesh and Rana Daggubati In season two, Rana Naidu embarks on one last job to secure his family's future before getting out of the 'fixing' business for good, but soon finds himself entangled in conflicts with his loved ones – and the looming threat of a ruthless underworld figure from his past. Season 2 also stars Arjun Rampal, Surveen Chawla, Kriti Kharbanda, Dino Morea, Abhishek Banerjee, and Sushant Singh.
