Bigg Boss Tamil 8: Here’s how much contestants are getting paid in Vijay Sethupathi-hosted show
Bigg Boss Tamil 8, hosted by Vijay Sethupathi, continues to grab attention as 18 celebrities compete in the show. Among the contestants are well-known figures like actor Ranjith and producer Ravindar Chandrasekaran. While the drama unfolds on screen, viewers are curious about how much the show’s contestants are being paid for their participation.
According to a trusted report, producer Ravindar Chandrasekaran is earning Rs 50,000 per day for his involvement. Similarly, actor Ranjith is receiving the same amount, making them some of the highest-paid contestants on the show.
Other contestants like Arnav, VJ Vishal, Arun, Pavithra Janani, and Jacqueline are reportedly earning between Rs 20,000 and Rs 25,000 per day. Meanwhile, contestants like Tharshika, Dharsha Gupta, and Sunita Gogoi are being paid within the same range. At the lower end of the payment scale are Soundariya Nanjundan and Muthukumaran, who reportedly receive Rs 10,000 per day.
Recently, there was a significant development in the show as Sachana Namidass, who played Vijay Sethupathi’s daughter in Maharaja, re-entered the house as a wild-card contestant. She had been evicted earlier during the 24-hour elimination round, making her return a surprise twist. As tensions rise with the upcoming eliminations, viewers are eager to see how the house dynamics change.
Correct if Iam wrong., but never in previous seasons this was addressed. May be they didn’t because it will trigger and channel wanted it.

The contestants nominated for elimination this week include Soundariya, Jacqueline, Ranjith, Ravindar, Arun, and Muthukumaran. A recent promo released by the show teased a confrontation between Vijay Sethupathi and the housemates as the eviction looms closer.
According to One India, Jacqueline’s chances of surviving in the Bigg Boss house seem slim as she has the fewest supporters. Ravindar and Arun are also at risk, as their votes are not far behind. However, the final decision will only be revealed when the full episode airs, based on audience voting.
It is worth noting that all financial figures mentioned are based on the News 18 report, and in some cases, the numbers come directly from the celebrities’ representatives. The payments reflect the varied levels of popularity and engagement of the contestants, contributing to the different amounts they receive.
Vijay Sethupathi, who took over as the host for Bigg Boss Tamil 8, has brought his own charm and personality to the show, engaging both contestants and viewers alike. There has been speculation regarding whether he is being paid more than the previous host, Kamal Haasan, but official figures have not been confirmed yet.
As the season progresses, the excitement around the eliminations and the evolving relationships between the housemates continues to capture the audience’s attention. The show airs on Vijay TV at 9:30 PM and is also available for streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
With eliminations becoming more intense each week, the housemates are under pressure to secure their place. Audience votes play a crucial role in determining who stays, and with several contestants in danger of leaving, the stakes are higher than ever.
