The makers of Bigg Boss 12 must be shedding tears, for the latest season has not managed to impress the viewers. They have shelled out a lot of money to pay to these contestants, who are not entertaining enough for the ardent fans of the show. Reports suggest that Anup Jalota, who is the seniormost member of the house is also the highest paid contestant as he gets around a whopping Rs 45 lakh per week.  A source has revealed to BollywoodLife, “The channel wants elders to watch the show. The younger audience sees it on the net. This time the competition is with family dramas so the channel shelled a huge amount to get him on the show.” The Bhajan Samrat recently ended his relationship with girlfriend Jasleen Matharu over a task. So the amount that he is getting is not surprising. He has changed his image by coming on the show. Bigg Boss 12: Anup Jalota Sasses Jasleen Matharu Coz He Is Still Not Over What She Did to Him.

Karanvir Bora is the second highest paid celebrity on Bigg Boss 12 as he draws close to Rs 20 lakh per week. And then there is Dipika Kakar, who is being paid around Rs 15 lakh a week. What's shocking is that Sreesanth is reportedly being paid only Rs 5 lakh per week. And we feel bad for him. Agreed that he is not actively taking part in the tasks and threatens to leave the house every now and then, but for all the torture that he is suffering at his level and the money that is reportedly being offered to him is sort of unfair. Bigg Boss 12: Sreesanth Or Karanvir Bohra Might Be Sent To The Secret Room - Who Should Go?

He is nominated this week along with Karanvir, Srishty Rode and the jodi of Anup and Jasleen. Will he bid adieu to the Bigg Boss house on Weekend Ka Vaar with Salman Khan? Well, all we can do is just wait and watch.
