How much did Vinod Kambli earn from Bigg Boss? His fees were less than Sreesanth’s…

New Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli has been in the news for the past few days due to his poor health. A few months ago, Vinod Kambli had requested the MCA i.e. Maharashtra Cricket Association to give him work. This retired cricketer, who is facing a financial crisis, is currently surviving on a pension of Rs 30,000 per month from BCCI. After retiring from cricket, Vinod Kambli also tried his luck in acting and reality shows, but he could not show much magic in the entertainment industry as well.

Vinod Kambli entered ‘Bigg Boss Season 3’ as a ‘wild card contestant’. Vinod Kambli entered the house in the 5th week of Bigg Boss. But in just 14 days, he was eliminated from Amitabh Bachchan’s reality show. Actually, 15 years ago, not Salman Khan, but Amitabh Bachchan used to host the country’s biggest controversial show. Vinod Kambli was paid a fee of 1.5 to 2 lakh rupees every week for participating in this show. Even though this fee was much higher than the actors who participated in the show at that time, but this fee was very less compared to cricketer S Sreesanth.

Sreesanth used to get 50 lakh rupees:
If sources are to be believed, Sreesanth used to get 50 lakh rupees every week for participating in Bigg Boss. Sreesanth stayed in this show till the finale, but Sreesanth’s entry happened in season 12 of Bigg Boss. At that time, not Amitabh Bachchan, but Salman Khan was hosting this show.

Why did Vinod Kambli get less fees?
Talking about Sreesanth and Vinod Kambli, when Vinod Kambli got the offer of Big Boss, he had left cricket and was struggling in acting. This is the reason why he agreed to join Big Boss even after taking less fees. On the other hand, Big Boss had become a big brand during Sreesanth’s time and Sreesanth had rejected this show many times. This is the reason why he was persuaded to join this show by offering more money.

A big difference between Vinod Kambli and Sreesanth’s Big Boss season is that till the 10th season of Big Boss, the contestants were given less fees. But the winner used to get a prize money of one crore. Then after season 10, the amount given to the winner was made 50 lakh rupees and the fees of the contestants participating in the show were increased and Sreesanth benefited from this.
