Bigg Boss 19 mostly airs on over-the-top (OTT) platforms, with a TV rerun on the same day. According to some sources, the new season's budget is smaller than that of its predecessors. Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 19 has been making waves for about ten days now, not just because of its drama but also because of the outrageous wages of its contestants. TV personality Gaurav Khanna is at the top of the list.

Who Is The Highest Paid In Bigg Boss 19?

Gaurav Khanna, who just won Celebrity MasterChef, is reportedly demanding an incredible Rs 17.5 lakhs per week for his Bigg Boss 19 appearance, according to The Indian Express. He is ranked sixth among the top 10 highest paid Bigg Boss contestants, with a daily pay of almost Rs 2.5 lakh. Amaal Mallik receives about Rs 1.25 lakh per day for his involvement on the show, according to NDTV.

Gaurav Khanna has been promised a new program with either Star or Colors once the Bigg Boss 19 finale premieres, according to sources who spoke to the news site. He was also reportedly among the last contestants to be cast into the reality TV show.

Intriguingly, Gaurav has emerged as one of the most costly performers in both this season of Bigg Boss 19 and the show's history as a consistent competitor. However, Hollywood actress Pamela Anderson has been the most costly competitor to date, charging almost Rs 2.5 crore for just three days. But she only spent three days in the Bigg Boss 4 house.

Awez Darbar and Ashnoor Kaur, two additional well-known celebrities competing on Big Boss 19, each receive Rs 6 lakhs per week. According to reports, Mridul Tiwari and Pranit More are earning the lowest fees this season.
