When the prize money of Rs. 50 lakhs for the ‘Big Boss, Telugu season one’ was announced, many of us thought that the winner will be the luckiest guy to walk away with the prize money. What about the remaining contestants?
All the participants have their own vocation and they need to keep aside their commitments and pay cheques for the period they are in the ‘Big Boss’ house. The lowest paid contestant got Rs. 75,000 per week and the highest paid contestant was paid Rs. 10 lakhs per week.
So, any guesses on who was the highest and the lowest paid contestants? Navdeep was said to be the highest paid contestant. In fact, he deserved to be paid the highest amount as he added a lot of value to the show and he was one among the strong contenders and audiences’ interest grew after he joined the show.
Then, who is the lowest paid contestant of the show? Reports suggest that it was Mahesh Kathi. He was not a popular name before the show as he was only known among the cine circles for being a critic and reviewer. But then, the show was worth it as Mahesh Kathi became a popular name, now.
