Season 4 of The Great Indian Kapil Show is currently streaming on Netflix and has once again grabbed headlines—this time not just for laughs, but for the jaw-dropping fees of its star cast.

The new season began on December 20, 2025, and so far three episodes have aired. The premiere featured Priyanka Chopra, followed by an episode with Indian women cricketers, and the third with Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday.

But what has really blown fans’ minds is how much each artist is being paid per episode.

Kapil Sharma: Highest-Paid Comedian on Indian OTT

The face and host of the show, Kapil Sharma, has reportedly become the highest-paid comedian in India.
According to media reports, Kapil is charging a staggering ₹5 crore per episode for Season 4.

After moving from television to Netflix, Kapil’s global reach has expanded—and so has his paycheck.

Sunil Grover’s Fee Will Surprise You

Many fans believe the soul of the show lies with Sunil Grover, who appears in a different character every episode. His recent act parodying Aamir Khan received massive praise.

Despite his popularity, Sunil Grover reportedly earns ₹25 lakh per episode—far less than Kapil, but still the second-highest on the show.

Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda’s Earnings

• Krushna Abhishek: Around ₹10 lakh per episode

• Kiku Sharda: Around ₹7 lakh per episode

Both have been long-standing pillars of Kapil’s comedy universe and continue to be crowd favourites.

Judges’ Fees Also Revealed

Season 4 also sees the return of judges Archana Puran Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu.

As per reports (not officially confirmed by Netflix):

• Archana Puran Singh charges ₹10–12 lakh per episode

• Navjot Singh Sidhu reportedly earns ₹30–40 lakh per episode

Netflix Has Not Officially Confirmed Salaries

It’s important to note that Netflix has not officially disclosed any of these figures. All numbers are based on media and industry reports. Still, the massive gap between Kapil Sharma’s fee and the rest of the cast has become a major talking point online.
