Deepika has always had her hands full with big ticket films. And with a great track record, filmmakers are ready to pay her 15 crores now. One of the most talented among the younger lot, she doesn't mind working with even debutante directors and is ready to bargain for small budget films, if she likes the script. All three films last year proved her mettle as a versatile actress. She gave the perfect closure to 2015 with blockbuster Bajirao Mastani.

2. Kangana Ranaut – 11 crores

The powerhouse performer hiked her fees after Queen and Tanu Weds Manu Returns. Reportedly she is getting Rs 11 crores for her next movie. She prefers doing projects centered around her character and has four big upcoming projects including Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon, Hansal Mehta's Simran and Ketan Mehta'sRani Laxmi Bai.

3. Kareena Kapoor – 9 crores

Kareena is in her own comfortable space and has become quite choosy about signing films. While she wrapped R. Balki's upcoming Ki And Ka, she is also shooting for Udta Punjab… and all for 9 crores. She is the senior most actress in our list and currently at the third spot.

4. Priyanka Chopra – 9 crores

Priyanka has been hopping between U.S. and Mumbai, to maintain equilibrium between her American show and Bollywood films. And she has been doing it with quite a finesse. She is paid 9 crores, which is quite low compared to the actresses in Hollywood, where PC has her eyes fixed. We hope her brilliant act as Kashibai inBajirao Mastani helps her raise the fees, the same way it did for Deepika.

5. Vidya Balan – 7 crores

She is usually the first choice of producers making female-centric movies. However, all she gets is 6 to 7 crores per film. We personally feel she deserves more, considering her filmography includes The Dirty Picture, Kahaani and Ishqiya.

6. Katrina Kaif – 7 crores

Kat has set her fees at an average range, making her an affordable actress for filmmakers. No wonder she ends up grabbing more projects that her counterparts. While she might still be struggling with her Hindi, her pretty face and glam quotient covers up for the loopholes. Watch out for her in Fitoor!

7. Anushka Sharma – 6 crores

Anushka is the dark horse in this list. She has slowly established herself as a bankable actress and one of the highest paid ones. If she continues to do films likeNH10, her remuneration will only grow. One advice to the versatile actress - stay away from films like Bombay Velvet please!

8. Sonakshi Sinha – 6 crores

She has a big fan base not just among the masses but inside the industry too. The outspoken and talented actress, whose calendar remains blocked with 3-4 movies every year, demands 5 to 6 crores each film. Her co-actors love her. No wonder she keeps appearing in item songs with them too!

9. Shraddha Kapoor – 5 crores

Shraddha is fast gaining a stronghold in the industry. After a love story (Aashiqui 2), a thriller (Ek Villain), a drama (Haider) and a dance film (ABCD 2) she has showed her talent, enough to be able to demand between 4-5 crores. Her next film Rock On!! 2 is a musical. Such variety!

10. Alia Bhatt – 3 crores

With a 100 percent success rate at the box office (leaving aside Shaandaar), Alia has proved her mettle early in her career. She might be a girl-next-door off-camera but turns into a strong performer onscreen. Just in the third year of her career and she comfortably gets 3 crores for every film.

11. Parineeti Chopra – 3 crores

She has been missing from the screens for a while now. But whenever she makes an appearance, filmmakers are happy to sign Parineeti for 3 crores. For someone who never wished to take up acting, she is slowly emerging as a natural actress, much like her elder sister Priyanka.

However, the men get more than three times on an average. Both Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan received 50 crores for their upcoming films Dangal and Mohenjo Daro respectively. While Akshay Kumar gets 45 crores, filmmakers sign SRK for 40 crores. That's not all. Even John Abraham (15 crores) and Arjun Rampal (14 crores) get more than the highest paid actress. Do you remember their last hit film? Well, we don't!
