Moreover, people are concerned about the gravity of depression in the Bollywood industry because of coronavirus lockdown — ever since the news about Rajput’s tragic death broke. From Indian Television to Bollywood <div type="image" title="C85587FA-5557-4776-9EFD-FD8C7EBECDB1" msid="76369665" hostid="261"></div> Rajput who made his debut with a Balaji Telefilms show “Kis Desh mein hai mera dil” in the year 2008 — became one of the very few Bollywood actors to have with Indian television shows to finally become a protagonist playing roles in movies like M.S Dhoni: The Untold Story,Shuddh Desi Romance among others. The Ekta Kapoor led production house chose Rajput while he was on stage performing one of Ekjute's plays. A year later, Rajput bagged the role of Manav Deshmuk in Zee TV’s Pavitra Rishta — and received three major television awards for best male actor and most popular actor. At the time of Pavitra Rishta, Rajput also participated in Zara Nachke Dikha 2, a celebrity dance show and was a part of Mast Kalandar Boys Team. The uncanny resemblance with Dhoni <div type="image" title="A565F07C-FC3E-4897-973F-1C17ABCC906B" msid="76369693" hostid="261"></div> Soon he became famous for his performance and bagged his first Bollywood film Kai Po Che! — which was based on Chetan Bhagat’s Three Mistakes of My Life — along with Rajkumar Rao and Amit Sadh. Some of his other work also includes Raabta and Kedarnath.

Rajput has done many hit films but the most popular one was M S Doni: The Untold Story in 2016 — a biography based on a former Indian cricket team captain. The uncanny resemblance of his character with real Dhoni struck a chord with the audience. His last film Chhichhore was a hit and earned more than ₹150 crore at the box office.

Many suspect Rajput may have been suffering from depression. “I am too shocked and numbed to say anything. I saw the news on TV and then reached out to a few people. And I don’t know. He was like a young brother to me. We exchanged a few messages a week ago, and I got no such hint that he was not feeling well,” Nitesh Tiwari, the director of Chhichore told the media. Tiwari said he had no idea about his battle with depression. Rajput was bracing for the release of Dil Bechara, a remake of Fault in our stars — had the pandemic not hit, the movie would have released on May 8. A few days back his former manager Disha Salian also died after she fell from the window of her friend’s residence in Mumbai.

Sushant Singh Rajput went from the small screen to Bollywood⁠— and gave up on life while his career was peaking

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/36289285.cms" /> 
Gone are the days when the small screen was not a lucrative career option for actors. But today, TV can be your ticket to Bollywood (we need not tell you what SRK and Sushant Singh Rajput have done in this regard) and it also pays big bucks for your efforts. While most of the careers compensate you after a month of slogging, a popular TV star can easily bag thousands at the end of each episode. Here’s a look at eight Indian TV stars who take home the fattest pay cheques. 
 
1. <keyword id="17416" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ram-Kapoor">Ram Kapoor</keyword>

After kissing popularity with shows like Kasam Se and Bade Achche Lagte Hain, Kapoor is enjoying his stint on big screen these days with films like Agent Vinod and Humshakals.

4. <keyword id="6358984" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sakshi-Tanwar">Sakshi Tanwar</keyword> 
One of the most coveted actresses on Indian television, Sakshi Kanwar has come a long way. It was the lead role of Parvati in Ekta Kapoor’s soap Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii that made her a household name. Then she topped the popularity chart by playing Priya in the popular show, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. Her chemistry with Ram Kapoor is the high point of the show. The actress takes home anything between Rs 70,000-1 lakh per day. And she shoots only 15 days in a month.
