As per Shakti Kapoor, "my signing amount was much more than the winner's booty, and my weekly payment was as much as any inmate's total stay package."
So his signing amount was more than one crore and weekly package was also high.
Any idea how much others are paid?
The details provided by Dale Bhagwagar, Big Boss specialist is as below:
"As far as I am aware... most participants get a MG (minimum guarantee)... which is anything between 5 to 20 lakhs. Have heard that after the MG, they are not paid anything for the first week. But from second week onwards, some of them are said to be paid anything between 1 to 6 lakhs per week (depending on their star status, popularity and requirement), till they last on the show.
PLEASE NOTE: These figures are just estimates from what I've gathered after speaking to some participants in the past and for this Season of the show. The figures might completely vary from participant to participant. "
