Sana pockets Rs 70 lakh from Bigg Boss
Apart from being the first south Indian actress to step into the Bigg Boss house on October 7, diva Sana Khan, seen in Telugu films, Kathi and Mr. Nookayya, has reportedly been paid `70 lakhs for her 14-week stay with 19-odd celebrities.
“It works out to about `5 lakhs per week,” says a source. He also claims that Sana Khan outwitted other stars from the south, such as Sada and Richa Gangopadhyay, coming second only to former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu in garnering votes for popularity. What swung the vote was possibly, her song, Vechikkava Unna Matum, from the Tamil film, Silambattam, and her pan-India commercial, promoting Amul macho.
Sana had requested that she be permitted to do her namaaz on Fridays in privacy; so this will not be telecast. A foodie, she is now managing on simple food. There was also the initial nervousness about sharing space with 19 strangers, which has given way to a lot more comfort within the confines.
The star expects to return from her BB sojourn “a courageous and independent individual who can handle any adverse situation on her own, and totally rejuvenated,” according to sources.
“It will also help her realise that ‘celebrity status’ is only an illusion and that she is just as normal a mortal as others her age,” he opines.
BB has so much visibility and the power to confer International recognition that Sana has given up a few film offers for it. Besides good money, such shows rarely come by in an actress's life, and Sana wants to revel in the opportunity.
She will return to reprise Silk Smitha’s role that Vidya Balan played, in the Malayalam remake of Dirty Picture in January 2013. She will apparently put in a ‘no-holds-barred’ performance.
Here’s hoping she manages to entertain us in BB.
