"My Biggest Pay Cheque Was From Bigg Boss"

He said, "My biggest pay cheque was from Bigg Boss. We created history; it was one of those ‘being at the right place at the right time' situations. They had been talking with me for four to five years, and at that time, COVID had just ended. They were like, ‘No, we definitely want Karan.' So I said, ‘I'm a bit of a short-tempered person, so maybe you shouldn't take me."

Kundrra further added how he ended up quoting a huge amount, and the makers agreed to his demand. He continued, “In the end, I quoted a huge amount, and they agreed. I requested a substantial fee. The main people behind the show told me that no contestant in the show's history had ever demanded as much as I did. Because around that time, I was also behind the camera and had done things as a co-producer as well, so I knew how much to ask for."

'Bigg Boss 15' was a hit season that also featured Shamita Shetty, Pratik Sehajpal, Jay Bhanushali, and others.
