Salman Khan’s Reign on Bigg Boss 18
Salman Khan is back as the host of Bigg Boss 18, and his presence is as commanding as ever. He’s set to earn a whopping Rs 250 crore for this season, making him one of India’s highest-paid TV hosts. His monthly fee is estimated at a cool Rs 60 crore. Salman has been associated with Bigg Boss for over 15 years, and his contribution to the show’s success is undeniable.
Security Takes Center Stage
This season, security is tighter than ever for Salman Khan. Despite recent threats and the loss of his close associate, Salman continues to host the show. Over 60 security personnel are deployed for his safety. To minimize risks, he stays at his chalet within the Bigg Boss premises, and the crew stays on-site until shooting wraps up. Access to the compound is restricted, and everyone undergoes thorough security checks.
Salman’s commitment to Bigg Boss is unwavering. Rumors of his absence were swirling around, but he’s back in action, proving his dedication to the show. He primarily hosts the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes, which are immensely popular with viewers.
New Season, New Twists
Bigg Boss 18 boasts a unique concept this year: time ka tandav, or the dance of time. The show weaves together elements of the past, present, and future. One confirmed contestant is Shoaib Ibrahim, husband of former Bigg Boss winner Dipika Kakkar. The season premiered on October 5, 2024, with Salman at the helm, much to the delight of fans.
Salman’s presence is simply irreplaceable. Even a temporary absence can significantly impact the show’s ratings. He’s the glue that holds Bigg Boss together.
Recently, a gesture of respect by Salman Khan towards spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya warmed the hearts of fans. Aniruddhacharya gifted Salman a copy of the Bhagavad Gita, a moment that resonated deeply with viewers and was widely shared online.
