Bigg Boss has established itself as one of the most beloved reality shows on Indian television since its debut in 2004. Over the years, it has captivated audiences with its unique format and dramatic twists. The show has seen a variety of celebrities step in as hosts, but Salman Khan's association with Bigg Boss for more than 15 years has made history. Throughout the show's 18 seasons, numerous contestants have made headlines, but one particularly noteworthy appearance was that of Hollywood actress Pamela Anderson.
Pamela Anderson's Fee on Bigg Boss 4
Although she was in the show for a short period, the attention surrounding her arrival was immense. Pamela Anderson's brief three-day stint on Bigg Boss generated significant buzz, not just because of her star power, but also due to her astonishing fee, which was rumored to be in the crores rather than just lakhs.
The Baywatch star made her way to Mumbai to join the fourth season of Bigg Boss, which also marked the first time Salman Khan hosted the show. According to a report from the Financial Express, Anderson's fee for her fleeting appearance was a whopping Rs 2.5 crore.
The fourth season of Bigg Boss featured a diverse group of contestants, including television personalities such as Ashmit Patel and Dolly Bindra, as well as sports icon The Great Khali. Among them, Shweta Tiwari ultimately triumphed, becoming the season's winner. This season is remembered not just for the excitement of the competition, but also for the star-studded presence of Pamela Anderson, which undoubtedly contributed to the show's popularity.
About Bigg Boss 19
Even after years, the excitement for Bigg Boss still remains the same and grabs attention. After a successful 18 seasons, Bigg Boss is headed for its 19th season. The shooting for Bigg Boss 19's first teaser featuring Salman Khan is scheduled to take place between July 8 and July 12. The promo is expected to be released at the end of July. The announcement of the new season will reportedly be made before the show teaser releases.

Dinesh Karthik caught live mid-show trying to hold back celebration as Siraj's last-ball yorker crashes Crawley's stumps

Just when Day 3 seemed destined to fade out without drama, Mohammed Siraj pulled out a brilliant double bluff. In the final over, he dismantled Zak Crawley with a masterstroke; having lured Crawley into expecting the short ball, setting the field for chin music, Siraj ripped in a booming yorker that ducked under the bat and uprooted the off stump. Just three deliveries before, Crawley had stopped Siraj in his run-up over sight-screen issues, reminding everyone of his time-wasting tactics at Lord's, which triggered an uproar. Justifiably, the celebrations after the dismissal were wild. Dinesh Karthik watches as Siraj picks Crawley's wicket(Reuters/YouTube) It had been a gruelling day in the field for India, and Indian players roared in celebration, releasing the pressure of a hard-fought day. But away from the field, inside a broadcast studio, Dinesh Karthik had to channel every ounce of restraint as the moment unfolded live on air. Karthik, seated beside Mel Jones for Sky Sports Cricket's post-day show, which usually begins taping minutes before stumps, was mid-sentence when the drama erupted. As Jones took over commentary duties, calling the wicket in real-time, Karthik clutched the armrests, spinning slightly in his chair, visibly thrilled but composed. He held back the outburst many fans watching would've let fly, offering instead a poised, measured reaction. 'This is purely nerves, what Zak Crawley went through. As a batter, when you have batted so hard and all you want to do is get past the last over and walk into the dressing room being not out, you tend to go into a shell and you're not committed into a shot. It's a mistake a lot of batters have made in the past,' said Karthik. Watch: Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal made a sparkling hundred and Washington Sundar a blistering fifty before Siraj struck with the last ball of Saturday's play to bolster India's hopes of a series-levelling win at the Oval. India were dismissed for 396 in their second innings on the third day as they set England a target of 374 to win with just over two days' remaining.
