New Delhi: The popular show of Colors TV ‘Bigg Boss 9' has always managed to stay in the limelight either because of the in-house controversies or because of the outside buzz.
Though the ninth season of the show has failed to make a mark like in previous seasons, yet BB9 recently got spiced up, all thanks to the wild card entries and the unique tasks.
But amidst all the controversies and evictions, there is one contestant who has continuously managed to keep her hold on the show.
Yes! We are talking about Rimi Sen.
Every since the first episode, Rimi Sen caught the hearts of the viewers with her statements. Although the actress is maintaining a low profile on the show, she is still going strong on the show.
And now the popular contestant of Bigg Boss 9 has once again caught the limelight, not because of any controversy but because of the amount she has been paid for the show.
Bigg Boss makers have reportedly paid her a whopping Rs 2 crore for participating in the show.
Shocked?
Well, it's true. According to media reports, the contestants of BB9 are paid on a weekly basis depending upon their popularity on the show.
The least popular contestants come under the bottom level and their weekly fee starts from Rs 3 lakh, mid-level contestants are paid around Rs 4 lakh and the highest weekly fee of up to Rs 5 lakh is reserved for the most popular contestants, falling under the top-level category.
But according to the recent buzz, Rimi Sen, who is the most popular contestant of the show, has been paid Rs. 2 crore, which is apparently the highest fee for any contestant in the history of "Bigg Boss".
If the rumours are true, then Rimi Sen has actually been paid much more than the winning amount of the show as well.
Reportedly, the winning contestant of Bigg Boss 9 will take home an amount of Rs. 40 lakhs in addition to the weekly fee and the signing amount.
Well, in this case, participating in Bigg Boss 9 seems to be an excellent decision for Rimi Sen.
