Ajay Devgan's new TV journey
Famous Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan has now entered television. He has started hosting Sony TV's popular crime show 'Crime Patrol'. Earlier this show was presented by Anoop Soni. Ajay's Rs 90 crore deal has started new discussions about TV hosting fees.
Rs 90 crore for 15 episodes
Ajay Devgan has stepped in front of the audience as the new host of 'Crime Patrol'. According to reports, his deal is for 15 episodes, for which he will get around Rs 90 crore. This means that the fee for one episode is around Rs 6 crore. There is excitement among Ajay's fans about his first big TV hosting.
Salman Khan's dominance in hosting
Although Ajay's fees are very high, he has not been able to become the most expensive host of TV. In this matter, Salman Khan's name comes at the top. According to reports, Salman's fees have changed significantly in different seasons of 'Bigg Boss'. At one point he used to get around Rs 2.5 crore for every episode, while later his fees increased on a weekly basis. In some seasons his fees reached Rs 10 to Rs 15 crore per week, which could lead to earnings for the entire season exceeding Rs 100 crore.
Fees of other stars
After Salman, Amitabh Bachchan's name is also included among the expensive TV hosts. He gets around Rs 100 crore per season for 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'. Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty are also big names in this field. Karan's fee for 'Koffee with Karan' is said to be around Rs 25 crore, while Rohit Shetty is reported to be getting Rs 12-15 crore for 'Khatron Ke Khiladi'. However, all these figures are based on media reports.
