Like every other time, Bigg Boss garnered media attention much before its official premiere. Salman Khan will be back hosting the contentious show in its 16th season, which is scheduled to make a comeback. The Dabangg star has hosted the show for the past 13 years and will do it again this year. He has reportedly left the show numerous times, but none of the reports were true.
As Bigg Boss 16 is inching closer to its launch, names of many celebs are popping up who are likely to enter the controversial house as contestants.
According to rumours that are presently circulating regarding the host Salman Khan, we may need to wait a little longer for the producers to officially announce the season and its candidates. The rumours circulating on social media about the superstar quitting this time are untrue; he is still very much presenting the show. Salman Khan has frequently made fun of the channel for not offering him adequate raises with each new season.
Salman Khan even admitted during one of the press conferences that every time he plans to leave, the producers manage to persuade him and he returns as the host. But it appears that things have changed this time. According to the most recent reports, the host’s fees could increase by three times. For the 16th season, the superstar has requested fees that have tripled.
A report in Tellychakkar states, “Salman has asked for a three-time hiked fee considering that he hasn’t got a big hike in the past few seasons and this time he is adamant that until he doesn’t get a hike he won’t be hosting the show, though there is no confirmation on the same.”
If these rumours are accurate, Salman Khan might receive a total payment of 1050 crore for hosting Bigg Boss 16 as his salary for hosting Bigg Boss 15 was approximately 350 crore.
There hasn’t been any confirmation of this, so we’ll have to wait for the most recent reports.
