MUMBAI: Indian Idol is one of the most popular singing reality shows. The show has returned with the 11th season and has already struck a chord with the audience.
Music composer Vishal Dadlani, Anu Malik and singer Neha Kakkar have reprised their role of judges on the show. The popularity of Indian Idol 11 is crossing new limits with each day. Given the buzz it is creating, there are speculations that Vishal, Neha and Anu are charging a bomb for judging the new season of the show. As per a report published in India TV, the renowned Bollywood singer is the highest-paid judge on the popular show. The report stated that Neha, who is judging the show for the second consecutive season, is charging a whopping amount of Rs. 5 lakh per episode. Interestingly, the media reports also suggested that the makers were keen to rope in singer Neeti Mohan as a judge of Indian Idol 11. However, they, reportedly, changed their mind later considering Neha Kakkar’s massive popularity among the millennials.
Neha is accompanied by Vishal who has been hosting the show since four seasons (including both the seasons of Indian Idol). Reportedly, he is being paid a massive amount of Rs. 4.5 lakh for an episode. On the other hand, Anu Malik, who has been associated with the show since its inception except for the junior season, has been the lowest-paid judge. He is reportedly getting a pay cheque of Rs. 4 lakh for an episode.
