Jheel, who quit the show a few years ago, in a recent conversation opened up on never being able to forge a deep bond with Dilip because of the ‘seniority factor.’ The actress called him ‘very nice’ and revealed that Dilip’s son would study in her school.
The actress says, “He is very nice, but there was always the seniority factor over there, so I have not connected with sir on that level of other co-actors.”
Further, speaking about Dilip’s fees, Jheel reveals, “I am not sure if this is true, I can only remember that when I used to earn Rs 1200, he would be earning 15x of what I did. Dilip sir would be getting paid more than what has been assumed. And it is all worth as he holds the show and his craft is par excellence. Apart from that, the second highest paid actor would be Disha didi or Shailesh uncle."
