New Delhi: As Bigg Boss 18 continues to stir drama and excitement, the buzz around contestants’ salaries has become one of the hot topics. With its star-studded lineup, everyone’s curious—who’s bagging the biggest paycheck this season?
This time, the line-up of contestants is quite diverse with big names from the TV industry participating in Salman Khan-hosted reality show. Amongst them is none other than Bollywood and television actress Shilpa Shirodkar who is reportedly one of the highest-paid contestants on the show.
Bigg Boss 18’s highest-paid contestant
Known for her performances in films like Gopi Kishan and Aankhen, Shilpa Shirodkar is making waves in the Bigg Boss house. According to reports, she’s earning a cool Rs 2.5 lakh per week for her stint in the reality show. Coming in close behind Shilpa is Karanveer Mehra. The actor, who previously won Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, is also a familiar face from shows like Pavitra Rishta and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Karanveer is pulling in around Rs 2 lakh per week.
While Shilpa and Karanveer are grabbing attention for their salaries, fans are speculating if Bigg Boss regular Vivian Dsena is the dark horse in the pay race. Although his exact earnings haven’t been disclosed, Vivian has a strong fanbase from his roles in shows like Pyaar Ki Ek Kahani, Madhubala and Shakti. Given his immense popularity, it wouldn’t be surprising if his paycheck rivals Shilpa’s.
