India’s Most Expensive TV Actor: Salman Khan Bags Rs 60 Crore Weekly For Bigg Boss 18
India’s biggest TV stars often come to mind when discussing the highest-paid actors, but one name stands out as a true game changer. Salman Khan is now the most expensive TV actor in India, and his work in Bigg Boss 18 has sent his earnings soaring.
According to sources, Salman Khan charges Rs 60 crore per week as host of Bigg Boss 18 on Colors TV and JioCinema. The show, which started airing on October 6, 2024, had a buzz all season long.
While names like Kapil Sharma and Rupali Ganguly may occasionally be mentioned, none compete with Salman Khan in terms of TV earnings. The show ran for 15 weeks, ending with the grand finale on January 19, 2025.
Salman Khan’s presence has been crucial for the show’s success, compelling viewers to tune in every weekend. Despite occasional health issues or film commitments, the show never fell flat during Salman’s missing episodes, proving his disproportionate impact on ratings and viewership.
