Money talk
And that brings us
to the most important
takeaway of this profession-
financial returns.
Unlike in the earlier
times when a host
did TV shows for only
a day or two in the
month and supplemented
his income with other
jobs now for most
of them it is their
only job. Today it
is a very lucrative
career and hosts of
all kinds are laughing
all the way to the
bank. And it is this
moolah coupled with
the thrill of becoming
stars in their own
right that more and
more PYTs are attracted
to this new job.
So how much does a
TV host earn? Inside
sources inform that
much depends on the
length of a show and
the status of the
host. But on an average
a start- up anchor
takes home atleast
Rs 5000 per episode
and an A - list host
makes anything between
Rs 1 lakh to Rs 3
lakh per episode.
"The business
is good and so is
the money," Sajid
informs. "I have
never been out of
work. Your demand
is because of your
popularity. Moreover
I never discriminate
between work."
Mini too has taken
a conscious decision
not to take up any
acting assignments
as she has good work
on her plate. This
also helps her focus
on her job.
Whether hosting is
a well paying job,
Abbas says, "It
depends. It pays me
very well but I can't
be sure of all other
anchors. Actually,
a lot depends on your
popularity."
