Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 19 Fees: Expected Rs 120–150 Crore for 3-Month Run

Bigg Boss 19 Set to Premiere on 30th August, Salman Khan to Host for First Three Months

The excitement for Bigg Boss 19 is already building ahead of its 30th August premiere, with fans eager to see what the digital-first season has in store. Salman Khan will return as the host for the first three months, while guest hosts may take over later in the season.

Salman Khan’s Staggering Fee

Sources suggest Salman Khan will earn Rs 120–150 crore for hosting the 15-week season, which comes to roughly Rs 8–10 crore per weekend. Despite the season reportedly having a smaller budget than previous editions, Salman’s fee underscores his unmatched star power and the digital-first format of the show.

For context:

Bigg Boss OTT 2 – Rs 96 crore

Bigg Boss 18 – Rs 250 crore

Bigg Boss 17 – Rs 200 crore

Since Bigg Boss 19 will feature guest hosts like Farah Khan, Karan Johar, and Anil Kapoor for the latter part of the season, Salman’s pay is slightly lower than traditional TV editions but higher than previous OTT versions.

Digital-First Format

This year, the show will air first on Jio Hotstar, with a same-day telecast on Colors TV after about 90 minutes. The promo, released on 21st July, follows a political theme, marking the beginning of the show’s digital-first marketing push.

Rumoured Contestants

While the official lineup is yet to be confirmed, speculated participants include:

Gautami Kapoor
