Television might not dazzle like Bollywood, but it’s a steady goldmine for actors who know how to play their cards right—something actress Sakshi Tanwar has mastered with grace. In a recent chat on Humans of Bombay, her Bade Achhe Lagte Hain co-star Ram Kapoor revealed that Sakshi’s financial prudence has made her one of the wealthiest and most secure stars in Indian television.
“She’s made enough money for six generations,” said Kapoor, praising her cautious approach to money. Unlike many in showbiz, Sakshi reportedly avoids flashy cars and extravagant spending, preferring to invest wisely. “She spends very wisely,” he noted, highlighting her simple lifestyle despite decades of success.
Kapoor also touched on the often-overlooked stability of television careers. While TV actors may not earn like big-screen stars, the consistent income from daily soaps and long-running serials offers significant financial potential. “It’s about what you do with your earnings,” Kapoor said, stressing the importance of long-term planning over short-term fame.
Sakshi Tanwar rose to stardom with her roles in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, becoming a household name across India. She later transitioned to films, debuting in Aamir Khan’s Dangal, and has delivered acclaimed performances in digital shows like Mai: A Mother’s Rage on Netflix, which earned her a Filmfare OTT Award.
Born in Alwar, Rajasthan, Sakshi studied at Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Delhi University. The daughter of a retired CBI officer, she credits her grounded upbringing and diverse schooling across Kendriya Vidyalayas for shaping her perspective.
While many chase stardom, Sakshi Tanwar has quietly built a legacy—on screen and off it—proving that thoughtful choices and discipline are the real keys to long-lasting success in the entertainment industry.
