The Forbes List Ranking ft TV stars[/caption]
Surprisingly, comedy king Kapil Sharma who appeared consecutively for six times in past, is missing from the list this time.
Kapil's low phase also started around the same time when he took a break from the small screen in September 2017 and announced the closure of his popular show - The Kapil Sharma Show, owing to its falling TRPs and his failing mental health. His Bollywood project Firangi, released in December 2017, also failed at the box office which further reduced the market value of the comedian.
The 2018 Forbes India Celebrity 100 List rankings are based on estimates of the earnings of celebrities. The period under consideration is October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2018.
