Salman Khan Becomes Highest-Paid TV Star

Salman Khan has returned as the host of Bigg Boss 18, earning a staggering ₹60 crore per month, which totals nearly ₹250 crore if the season runs for 15 weeks. His fees surpass the budgets of major Indian films like Baahubali, Jailer, and Dunki, solidifying his status as the highest-paid television personality in India. The theme for this season is 'Time Ka Tandav', featuring 18 contestants including popular names like Vivian Dsena and Shilpa Shirodkar. Reports indicate that Khan's remuneration consists of both per-episode payments and a lump sum contract. Having hosted Bigg Boss for over 15 years, his absence has historically led to lower ratings, emphasizing his critical role in the show's success. Fans eagerly anticipate the twists and challenges that this season will bring.
