Rohit Shetty’s Payday for Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 is a Whopping 328% Smaller Than Akshay Kumar’s—Guess Who’s Laughing All the Way to the Bank?

Alright, Bollywood buffs! Grab your popcorn and let’s dive into the circus that is Bollywood reality TV.

Khatron Ke Khiladi 14: The buzz these days is all about two reality shows – ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’ and ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’. Both are packed with drama, flair, and a sprinkle of scandal, thanks to their celebrity filled contestants. Today, let’s zero in on ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’. Hosted by none other than Bollywood’s action maestro, Rohit Shetty, the show has just rolled out its latest season.

‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’ features a lineup of daredevils including Krishna Shroff, Karanveer Sharma, Gashmeer Mahajani, Nimrit Kaur, Abhishek Kumar, Shalin Bhanot, Asim Riaz, Sumona Chakravarti, and Aditi Sharma. These brave souls are ready to entertain the audience, while Rohit Shetty keeps the adrenaline pumping with his hosting skills. But hold your horses – did you know how much our beloved Rohit Shetty is cashing in for his hosting gig? 💰

Rohit Shetty’s Payday

According to media grapevines, Rohit Shetty has hiked his fees this season. The buzz is that he’s raking in a whopping INR 60 to 70 lakhs per episode. But, in a twist that would make even the most seasoned Bollywood scriptwriter blush, Rohit’s remuneration still pales in comparison to the original host, Akshay Kumar. Our ‘Khiladi’ Kumar was reportedly pocketing a cool INR 3 crores per episode back in the day. That’s right – Rohit’s paycheck is a mere 328% lesser than Akshay’s!

What Was Akshay Kumar’s Deal?

Akshay Kumar, the OG host of ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’, not only hosted the inaugural season but also returned for the second and fourth seasons. The man was paid a jaw-dropping INR 3 crores per episode. In contrast, Rohit Shetty’s current fee of INR 60 to 70 lakhs seems like peanuts.

Rohit’s Early Days on Khatron Ke Khiladi

Rohit Shetty first took the reins of ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ in Season 5. Back then, he was earning a modest INR 10 to 12 lakhs per episode. By Season 6, his fee had climbed to INR 15 lakhs. Quite the journey, isn’t it?

Arjun Kapoor’s Brief Stint as Host

For those keeping a scorecard, Akshay hosted the first, second, and fourth seasons, while Priyanka Chopra took over the third. Rohit Shetty then hosted the fifth and sixth seasons before Arjun Kapoor stepped in for the seventh. Rohit made a triumphant return in Season 8 and has been the face of the show ever since.

Nisha’s Nutshell

Moral of the Story: In the world of Bollywood, the only constant is change – and the incessant chase for a bigger paycheck! 💸 Whether it’s Rohit Shetty’s fee hike or Akshay Kumar’s legendary paycheck, one thing’s for sure – the drama behind the scenes is just as thrilling as the stunts on screen!
