The financial details of renowned Indian comedian and actor Kapil Sharma have emerged for the first time, with Indian media reporting his net worth at an estimated ₹300 crore, placing him among the wealthiest figures in the Indian entertainment industry.
Originally from Punjab, Sharma assumed family responsibilities at a young age after his father’s death. In his early days, he worked modest jobs at a PCO booth and a textile mill, earning ₹500 and ₹900 per month, respectively.
