Bollywood stars earning huge money through TV


Bollywood stars earning huge money through TV

If you think that Bollywood stars only earn through their films and endorsements, then you are grossly mistaken. They also earn huge moolah through television also. It is said that Salman Khan is charging Rs4 crore for each episode of Bigg Boss 4 on Colors.

This fees is thrice that he was paid on Dus ka Dum last year while Priyanka Chopra has become the highest paid among actresses for hosting Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 3. She will be paid Rs60 lakh for an episode.

Though getting far less than Sallu bhai, Akshay Kumar is to be paid Rs2 crore for every episode of his cookery show on Star Plus called Master Chef to start from October. Evergreen Amitabh Bachchan is reportedly being paid Rs2.25 an episode for Kaun Banega Crorepati 4.

Sources say that getting stars for reality shows is a win-win situation for both the actor and producer as they reach out to a wider audience. For instance, in the case ofSalman Khan, the promos of Bigg Boss Season 4 will coincide with the last leg of promotion of his movie Dabang slated for next month release.

Sources say, A-grade Bollywood stars are usually paid in the range of Rs80 lakh-Rs2.5 crore an episode, while the next rung of celebrities are paid Rs20 lakh-60 lakh for an episode.

According noted film journalist Harish Chandra, anchoring a reality show on television is very lucrative, hence stars accept offers from TV.
