With the next season of Bigg Boss just
round the corner, Salman Khan can boast of being the highest paid actor on the
small screen. It is estimated that Salman will be pocketing as much as Rs. 3.8
to Rs. 4 crores per episode for the show. Though he was sharing the space with Sanjay
Dutt in the last season, still Salman was paid around Rs. 3 crores per episode.
However, after his success with Ek Tha Tiger and the
immense popularity of his films, there is hardly any doubt that his value is on
the rise. Salman Khan is the only actor from Bollywood who has delivered more
than three hits at the box office garnering more than Rs. 100 crores in each
film.
Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan, Shah
Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar are some of the other names in the Bollywood who are
pocketing huge sums of money for hosting various shows for each episode. How can
the list be complete without the mention of Amitabh Bachchan and Kaun Banega
Crorepati?
As a matter of fact, the league of
Amitabh Bachchan is a bit different as he has signed a contract for Rs. 100
crores for as many as three seasons.
