Bigg Boss has been ruling over our prime time slots for 12 seasons now. Each season comes with new controversies and newer levels of entertainment. We may or may not remember who won each season but certainly remember the loudest and most aggressive contestants every year.
These celebs spend about three months without any technological device in the house with strangers. Have you ever wondered what keeps them going? Well, the answer is simple – remuneration. Yes! These celebs get paid a whopping sum for entertaining us for whatever time they spend in the Bigg Boss house.
Recently, it was revealed that Sreesanth is the lowest paid celebrity on Bigg Boss Season 12. He’s being paid Rs 5 lac per week. The former Indian cricketer has been fighting with other contestants on the show – his temper issues have become the daily dose of drama. Anup Jalota, who entered the show with his partner, TV actress Dipika Kakar and actor Karanvir Bohra are earning more than Sree per week on the show.
There are others who have made the most of their stay at the Bigg Boss house! From Pamela Anderson to Bani J, celebs have gotten paid very well by Bigg Boss (not much as Salman Khan though, who will make more than Rs 300 crores this season!).
