Bigg Boss 18 host Salman Khan’s fees and earnings per episode

According to reports, Salman Khan earned Rs 60 crore per month for hosting Bigg Boss 18. This whopping amount makes him the highest-paid television star in India.

Well, reportedly, the 18th season of Bigg Boss ran for  typical 15 weeks with the actor taking whooping Rs 250 crore by the end of the show. Last season, Khan earned Rs 12 crore per episode, totalling Rs 50 crore per month.

Salman Khan has been hosting Bigg Boss for over a decade, becoming closely associate with the show. Although initially, it had Amitabh Bachchan and Arshad Warsi as hosts, but now Salman Khan’s presence has undeniably become a key to the show’s success. He does his job as an anchor so perfectly that producers of the show increase his fees every year.

When we compare Salman Khan’s fees with other television stars, for instance comedian Kapil Sharma, who earned about Rs 60 crore for his first season on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show, is impressive but still doesn’t match Khan’s Bigg Boss earnings. Moreover, Amitabh Bachchan who hosts the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, is also a well-paid celebrity, but Salman’s staggering fees puts him at the top of the list.

Fans and insiders believe that Salman is the heart of Bigg Boss. He connects with the audience and keeps them engaged throughout the season. As Bigg Boss 18 concludes, audiences are eager to see how Khan will continue to bring his energy and charm to the next season of the show.
