[welcomewiki]

Bigg Boss 4, the reality show on colors, has been one of the most watched shows in the prime time slot of the 9pm mark, IST ever since it started airing from the 3rd of October 2010.



However, ever since the WWE champ, Khali has entered the house, there has been quite a flurry of activity in and out of the house. The viewers have had quite a time watching the great Khali entering the house with almost all inmates of the house in complete awe of the man with the ultimate muscle!

Yet, what did it take to bring in the great muscle macho WWE star into the house, which was almost like a toy house for the great master of wrestling? Well, according to the latest buzz doing the rounds; it has been quite an amount that led Khali to say a final yes to enter into the Bigg Boss house premises.

Reports doing the rounds are that the super muscled hunk is being paid an astounding Rs.50 lakh per episode to make him stick around, even though he does have to stand by the rules of the house with limited food, less sleep etc. But, hold on! That's not all. There is a buzz that Khali has also been given a basic down payment of Rs. 50 lakh in addition to the per week payment, that certainly makes Khali's kitty as heavy as a King's.

Well, the highest paid star, so to speak of the show is thus Khali the master of wrestling in India. However, this is quite something, as compared to the other stars and starlets of the show, who are reportedly in the slot of a lakh and a two, with the highest amongst them being the stars of the small screen Shweta Tiwari and Manoj Tiwari of Rs.5 lakh each.

Now, the big rider lies in the fact that Khali is not a regular inmate of the house, which the other inmates and the viewers think he is. According to reports, he is just a guest in the house, and will be leaving after a short stay. So, just go ahead and enjoy the show with Khali at his relaxed best avatar!

During the launch on 3 October, fourteen hand-picked housemates entered the house located in Lonavla, a hill station, about 100 kilometres east of Mumbai in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Two additional wild card entries were made during the second and third weeks, taking the number of contestants to sixteen. The housemates, considered strangers to each other, spent 96 days (14 weeks) locked up together under the supervision of 32 cameras fitted around the house. Four of the housemates, Ashmit Patel, Dolly Bindra, The Great Khali and Shweta Tiwari, reached the final week, facing public vote. The show ended on 8 January 2011 with the grand finale. Shweta Tiwari emerged as the winner, going away with a prize money of ₹ 10 million, while The Great Khali was announced as the runner-u.
