What makes Bigg Boss India's largest reality show?



Bigg Boss is a Hindi language adaptation of the Netherlands' Big Brother. The show debuted on Sony TV in 2006 and has since been extended into several Indian languages, including Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Marathi 

Bigg Boss is considered one of India's biggest reality shows for a number of reasons, including:

  • Audience engagement: The show's unpredictability and element of realism keep viewers engaged. The show's format is basic, but the broadcaster introduces variations each season to keep things fresh.
  • Celebrity hosts: The show's popularity is driven by the top stars of the film industry who host it. 
  • Emotional connection: The show fosters an emotional connection with the audience, which is maintained over time. 
  • Raw emotions: Viewers are drawn to the raw, unfiltered emotions displayed by the contestants. 
  • Celebrity brands: Many celebrities who come on the show become big celebrity brands. 
  • Cultural phenomenon: The show has been described as a cultural phenomenon in Indian society. 

Why is Big Boss such a popular show?

Need for Drama and Entertainment

We as viewers are drawn to the raw, unfiltered emotions displayed by the contestants as they live through friendships, love, and betrayals. We, humans, have a literal need for drama and entertainment, and experiencing the suspense of an unscripted plot gives us similar satisfaction.

Who has the highest fees in Bigg Boss?

Apart from the winning amount, one reason Bigg Boss is in the news is the contestants who are paid the highest every year. Pamela Anderson: The Canadian-American actress was reportedly paid ₹2.5 crore for her three-day stay at the house, making her the highest-paid contestant in the show's history.



Salman Khan is reportedly charging ₹60 crore per month to host the 18th season of Bigg Boss, making him India's highest-paid television star. This fee is a combination of a per-episode payment and a lump sum contract. If the season runs for the usual 15 weeks, Khan could earn around ₹250 crore by the end of the season.
