Is Salman Khan Really Biased On Bigg Boss 19?
Every season of Bigg Boss 19 puts host Salman Khan under as much spotlight as the contestants. This year, the discussion has again turned towards alleged favoritism and reports that the actor is earning ₹150 crore to host Weekend Ka Vaar. In a recent interview with India Today, producer Rishi Negi of Banijay Asia and Endemol Shine India addressed both controversies surrounding Bigg Boss 19.
What The Producer Said About The Bias Allegations
Responding to questions about whether Salman is partial towards certain contestants on Bigg Boss 19, Rishi Negi clarified that the superstar stays deeply involved in the show. He said Salman watches important clips and highlights from the house before shooting, forming his own independent opinions.
“He has a huge buy-in on what’s happening inside the house. We, as creators, also have our viewpoint, and we merge it with audience feedback to design the weekend episodes,” Negi explained.
Negi also dismissed claims that Salman is “fed” lines through an earpiece, adding that it’s impossible to make him say anything he doesn’t believe in. This suggests the Bigg Boss 19 host’s reactions are genuine, not scripted.
The ₹150 Crore Salary Speculation
When asked if Salman is charging ₹150–200 crore for Bigg Boss 19, the producer refused to confirm. “This contract is between him and JioHotstar, so I’m not privy to that. But whatever the rumour is, he is worth every penny,” Negi said.
Salman Khan began hosting the reality show in Season 4 and has remained its most iconic face. Over the years, he has balanced strictness and humour on stage, making Bigg Boss 19 just as engaging as the earlier seasons.
