Overview
- Reports place Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 19 pay near Rs 150–200 crore per season, but producer Rishi Negi refused to validate any figure.
- Negi said the agreement is directly between Salman Khan and JioHotstar, leaving the production team without access to salary terms.
- Addressing bias claims, he said Khan watches episodes or an hour or two of key footage when he cannot view everything, with audience feedback informing Weekend Ka Vaar.
- He rejected suggestions that the host is fed lines, saying it is not possible to make Salman Khan say anything he does not believe.
- Negi described Khan’s strong emotional connection to the show despite occasional doubts about continuing, and noted Bigg Boss 19 streams at 9 pm on JioHotstar and airs at 10:30 pm on Colors TV.
