Mumbai: Even before the advent of the new season of Bigg Boss, Salman’s fee became a hot topic. In every season, Salman talks about leaving the show and claims it to be his last one. But anyhow, producers always persuade him to host another season.
Sources claim that producers offer him more money than the previous season to get him back on the show. According to reports, Salman Khan has charged around 120 to 150 crore rupees for this season. However, Salman himself has not yet confirmed these figures.

Each season people make big and fanciful claims about his fee, but no official data is available to authenticate these claims. However, now the producer has come forward and revealed how much they are paying Salman Khan for the current season of Bigg Boss.
Producer Reveals Salman’s Involvement with the Show
Bigg Boss 19 producer Rishi Negi recently spoke openly about these rumors in an interview. He revealed that Salman Khan is not just a part of the weekend episodes, but he keeps a close eye on every activity of the show.
If he doesn’t get time to watch the episodes, he watches an hour or two of footage on the weekend to understand the major events that have taken place in the house.
Rishi said, “Salman is aware of everything that’s happening in the show, who is fighting with whom, and what everyone’s behavior is like. Many of his close associates also watch the show and give him their opinions. This means Salman is completely involved in the show.”
“No one can force Salman to say anything.”
There is often a discussion that Salman Khan says only what the makers want him to say during the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes.
On this, Rishi Negi clearly stated, “Anyone who knows Salman Khan also knows that he cannot be forced to say anything. He only says what he himself believes in.”
He further explained that there are often discussions and debates between the show’s producers and Salman. Only after that is it decided what will be said on stage. ‘Salman deserves every penny.’
