As everything is falling apart due to the pandemic, Bigg Boss fans must have assumed that there wonât be a season 14 this year. But thatâs not true! 

The show is most likely to air by the end of October this time and we are already excited. 

Last season, it was reported that Salman Khan was charging a whopping amount of Rs.13 crores per week to host the show. Also, due to the extension, he was getting an extra 2 crore per episode which made him take home around Rs. 200 crores for the entire season. 

We wonder how much will Sallu Bhai charge this season as he will be shooting amid a pandemic. 

So, hereâs all we know about Bigg Boss 14 and what all changes can we expect from the show -

Salman Khan will be returning to host Bigg Boss 14 as well. But, he will be charging an even bigger remuneration this year. According to reports he will charge around Rs 16 crores this year per week. 

After all, who can be a better host than Sallu Bhai for Bigg Boss? No one!

Now, there has been chatter whether or not it will be safe to keep so many contestants in the house together. But, it is being said that all the contestants will undergo a COVID-19 test before entering the house. 

Not only this, all the contestants will also have to follow the social distancing norms in the BB house.

It is also said that this yearâs theme for the house is âjungleâ. And weâll only get to see it once the show is aired on national television. 

The show will take place in the film city and Salman Khan will commute from his Bandra house to shoot for the weekend episodes.
