Devoleena
Acts
Pricey!
A
source
close
to
the
channel
was
quoted
by
BollywoodLife
as
saying,
"They
were
quite
keen
on
Devoleena
but
she
demanded
close
to
a
Lakh
per
episode.
It
left
them
shell-shocked.
Later,
they
said
they
were
ready
to
shell
out
till
Rs
85K
per
episode
but
she
did
not
relent.

Loses
Out
To
Drashti
Dhami
"Finally,
the
team
signed
on
Drashti
Dhami,
the
second
favourite,
who
came
at
a
much
more
reasonable
fee."
The
source
further
said,
"Drashti
settled
for
approximately
60K,
which
was
affordable
for
the
makers."
The
Actress
Says
When
BollywoodLife
got
in
touch
with
Devoleena
for
clarity,
she
said,
"I
don't
talk
commercials.
It
is
my
manager
who
handles
all
this.
He
is
handling
many
other
artistes
as
well,
including
Drashti."
Did
Devoleena
Quote
Rs
2
Lakhs
Per
Episode?
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
one
of
the
reasons
for
Saath
Nibhana
Saathiya
going
off
air
was
Devoleena
Bhattacharjee's
high
demand
of
fee
hike
(another
reason
was
tiff
between
the
channel
and
the
producer)!
It
was
said
that
the
actress
demanded
pay
hike
of
Rs
2
Lakhs
per
episode
which
was
unacceptable
by
the
channel
as
Rupal
Patel
was
also
getting
a
huge
amount.
