Gone are those days when there were sob stories of women not getting paid at par with the male actor. Today, it's all about your individual credibility and well, if it is super strong, as an actress, you get paid handsomely, more often than not, even more than your male counterpart. In an industry that's primarily dominated by male superiority and force, building your own strong base is no easy task. Very few actresses in the country actually have that ability and star power to push a film sole on their own shoulders and make things count. Well, that's why, the very few who do that successfully and have that kind of popularity get paid accordingly as well. So today, we are all set to take you through the earning pattern of India's top 3 highest-paid actresses. Check out the list below:

As per sources, Urvashi charges in between a whopping range of 35-50 crores per film, which is more than anyone in the business and by a fair margin. No wonder, she's a massive empire and net worth of 550 crores. Everything that she's earned today is the result of her hard work and efforts without any industry Godfather and hence, she deserves every bit of it.
Priyanka Chopra: She is also someone who has started from scratch and has made things count in India as well as abroad.. However, as far as remuneration is concerned, she's slightly behind Urvashi as she charges in between 14-40 crores per film. However, that's still a tempting and big amount for an actress of her calibre and no wonder her fans love her.
Alia Bhatt: Last but certainly not the least, we have to talk about Alia Bhatt in this case. The 'Gangubai' actress comes third in the list of highest-paid actresses as she's just behind Urvashi Rautela and Priyanka Chopra in this very special list. Alia Bhatt reportedly charged between 10-20 crores per movie and well, going by her age and experience, that's still a good amount, and a lot more than many modern-day male stars as well. Good and credible stuff indeed.

Varsha Hegde KINK reality show winner : 'I am a self-made girl'

Varsha Hegde, who is the winner of the first season of “ Kiss Ishq N Konnections ”, comes from a conservative middle-class family, but that did not stop her from achieving her dreams. A self-made girl, she started earning at a very young age even for small things that are a child’s favourite. “I was born and brought up in Dombivali. I come from a very dysfunctional family and there used to be no money to go to school or for food, even for Maggie or biscuits as we were very poor. So, I started earning at the age of four or five to pay my school fees, however I couldn't continue my studies post 10th grade. My parents got me married in an arranged marriage when I was eighteen. The marriage turned out to be toxic. So I came out of that marriage and started from scratch,” she said.
Varsha loved dancing and got a diploma from Terence Lewis Professional Training Institute and then she pursued some fitness courses like muscle anatomy, body anatomy, and nutrition. She added, “I'm a self-made girl. First, I started taking Zumba classes, dance classes because that is what I loved and that is what I wanted to do post my divorce. I stood up again, but it was a difficult phase for me as I had no money. I used to divide one vada pav and eat it for two days because that’s what I could afford.”
It was during those classes when a friend of hers introduced her to Diva Yoga by Malaika Arora. They started sending me to Soho house, Mumbai, as a Zumba and dance instructor. “I used to teach celebrities, and they used to come to my classes and ask me ‘why don't you try acting and modelling because you look beautiful’. I was very under confident about how I looked and how I'm. But they used to compliment me, and say that ‘you have a very unconventional and different look’. Initially, I didn't believe them, but, during the lockdown, they used to send me audition details and I realised that if somebody was trying to convince me so much, then why not try it? So I tried and started getting a lot of offers, ads, and photoshoots. And I thought that it was my calling,” she said.
There was no looking back after that. Varsha then started getting a lot of offers, and she did cameos in TV shows and also episodic roles. “One day I got a call saying, ‘We really like your personality, your look and the way you talk. So we want you for a show which is like a month long’. I couldn't believe my ears, because I never thought in my dreams that I could ever do a reality show, especially after a child and also my divorce,” she said.“I think it has never happened that a divorcee is doing a reality show, and that too, a dating reality show. I just grabbed that opportunity and did my best. I also thought that doing a reality show might be my calling, because people would not know me as a certain character but people would start knowing me as Varsha Hegde. So I was very happy,” Varsha ended.
