Bigg Boss 18: Vivian Dsena, Karan Veer Mehra Vs Ankita Lokhande, Neil Bhatt? Which season was higher paying?

Bigg Boss 18 has started off with a bang. Vivian Dsena, Chahat Pandey, Karan Veer Mehra, Avinash Mishra, Chum Darang are some of the few who are shining. And of course, we have the entertainer of Bigg Boss 18 in Gunaratna Sadavarte. But as per a report, the fees paid to the top stars of this season is way lower than what was given to the top contestant of Bigg Boss 17, Ankita Lokhande. And the reported difference seems to be quite huge. This is also quite shocking. Ankita Lokhande had a great career on TV with Pavitra Rishta being an iconic show but then, Vivian Dsena has given a streak of blockbuster TV shows. 

As per Koimoi.com, Vivian Dsena is getting Rs five lakhs a week. He was repeatedly asked to be a part of the show. After a lot of thought, he said yes. Vivian Dsena has a record of hit shows with Colors like Madhubali – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon and Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki. This is 50 per cent of what Ankita Lokhande charged for the show. She commanded Rs 10 lakhs. This is a bit surprising. The winner of Bigg Boss 13, Sidharth Shukla was paid Rs 7 lakh a week. 

The next highest this week is Shilpa Shirodkar. She is reportedly getting Rs 2.4 lakhs a week. Shilpa has also done shows with Colors in the past. The lady left behind her home and family in London for Bigg Boss 18. Karan Veer Mehra is being paid Rs two lakhs a week. It is a bit less given his years of experience on TV shows. He is the winner of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. As of now, Vivian Dsena and Karan Veer Mehra are the favourites. Fans feel both of them are original and do not seem to copy any one.
