Looking back, last year saw Vivian Dsena as the top-earning contestant of Bigg Boss 18, with a fee of around Rs 5 lakh per week. Interestingly, that was a noticeable drop compared to previous seasons. For instance, in Bigg Boss 17, television stars Ankita Lokhande and Aishwarya Sharma earned an impressive Rs 11–12 lakh per week, while in Bigg Boss 16, Sumbul Touqeer Khan reportedly took home Rs 12 lakh per week.

Now, fans are eagerly waiting to see whether the makers will hike the salaries this year or continue with last season’s trend of reduced payouts. If reports about Gaurav Khanna turn out to be true, Bigg Boss 19 may just witness a new record in contestant fees.
