Bigg Boss Telugu 10 Remuneration: Mukesh Gowda Tops the List

Bigg Boss Telugu has completed 10 television seasons, with more than 200 contestants having entered the house over the years. While contestants generally do not disclose their exact remuneration, reports suggest that the fees offered for Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10 vary depending on their popularity and contractual agreements. Among the 16 contestants, Mukesh Gowda is reportedly the highest-paid contestant, receiving ₹4 lakh per week. Jabardasth Ram Prasad is said to be getting ₹3.5 lakh per week, while Debjani Modak, Varshini Sundararajan, actor Krishnudu and Thrigun are reportedly receiving ₹3 lakh each. Jabardasth Naresh and Chaitra Rai are said to be earning ₹2.25 lakh per week, while Temper Vamsi and anchor Sudheer Reddy are reportedly receiving ₹2 lakh each. The six commoners selected through Agni Pariksha—Jhansi, Shalini Patel, Shiva Srishti, Rohith Naidu, RJ Charan and Aman Masood—are also reportedly receiving ₹3 lakh per week each.

The reported remuneration is generally linked to the duration of a contestant’s stay and the terms of their agreement. It is not necessarily paid as a single lump sum. According to the report, payments are structured on a weekly basis, while final settlements may depend on elimination, completion of the show and contractual conditions. Applicable taxes, including GST where relevant, can affect the final amount received. The report also states that a portion of the final settlement may be subject to contractual clauses and post-show obligations. Therefore, the exact amount ultimately received by each contestant can differ from the headline weekly figure. These remuneration figures are based on reported information and have not been independently confirmed by the contestants or the show’s makers.
