The curtains have lifted on Bigg Boss Season 18, and once again, Salman Khan is at the helm, bringing his star power to the iconic reality show. But have you ever wondered just how much the superstar is pocketing for his hosting duties? Buckle up—because it’s a jaw-dropping ₹60 crore per month!
Yes, you read that right! According to reports from Hindustan Times, Salman has reportedly hiked his fees compared to previous seasons. His impressive income stems from a combination of a per-episode fee and a lump sum contract. If Bigg Boss 18 follows the traditional 15-week format, Salman is on track to rake in a whopping ₹250 crore by the season’s end. That’s not just chump change; that’s Bollywood royalty!
With over a decade of hosting experience under his belt, Salman has become synonymous with Bigg Boss. His unique blend of entertainment, wisdom, and occasional tough love keeps audiences glued to their screens. And when he’s absent due to film commitments or legal matters, the show’s ratings often plummet, proving he’s the lifeblood of this reality juggernaut.
In a recent promo, Salman jokingly envisioned himself hosting Bigg Boss 38, showing no signs of slowing down. “I’ll keep you entertained for years to come!” he quipped, leaving fans eager for more.
This season kicked off on October 6 with a lineup of 18 contestants, including the unusual addition of a donkey! Yes, you heard that right—only in Bigg Boss! The premiere also revealed the top two finalists, Alice Kaushik and Vivian Dsena, right off the bat, setting the stage for a thrilling season filled with unexpected twists and turns.
So, as the drama unfolds inside the house, one thing’s for sure: with Salman Khan at the helm, it’s bound to be a wild ride. Whether you love him or find him a little too much, you can’t deny he’s worth every crore!
