Bigg Boss 18 is all set to begin, and fans eagerly await their weekly dose of entertainment with Salman Khan at the helm. While viewers are always curious about the contestants, the set, and the drama that unfolds on screen, few know what goes on behind the scenes. The Bigg Boss crew works tirelessly to keep the show running smoothly, and special arrangements are made on the set to keep the team energized throughout the day.
One of the most surprising facts about the Bigg Boss set is the sheer quantity of tea consumed. According to past reports, around two and a half kilos of tea leaves are used daily for the crew members. That’s right — a household might take a month to use a kilo of tea leaves, but on the Bigg Boss set, it only lasts a few hours!
But tea is not complete without milk, and the amount used on the set is equally astonishing. Daily, 80 to 90 liters of milk are consumed just to make tea for the crew. This massive supply is necessary to fuel the hardworking team responsible for managing one of India’s biggest reality shows. Although these figures come from older reports, the consumption likely remains similar even today.
The cost of these refreshments is significant, with sources mentioning that smaller TV shows could be made with the amount spent on tea and water alone. Though the exact budget for tea and other arrangements isn’t publicly disclosed, it’s clear that running a show as massive as Bigg Boss requires considerable resources.
Bigg Boss 18 is scheduled to premiere on the evening of October 6, with Salman Khan introducing this season’s contestants. Every year, there’s widespread speculation about who will enter the Bigg Boss house, and this season is no different. While rumors have been swirling about potential participants, all will be revealed during the premiere.
Salman Khan’s involvement in the show is one of its biggest draws, and there’s always chatter about his increasing fees. He reportedly charges per episode, adding to the show’s already hefty budget.
