With Agnipariksha Season 2 set to premiere on August 15, 2026, social media is abuzz with fresh rumours about a major change in the show’s contestant payment system. According to the latest online discussions, the makers are planning to reward the Top 15 contestants with Rs 50,000 each, a move that would mark a significant shift from the previous season.
In the first season of Agnipariksha, contestants reportedly did not receive any payment for participating in the pre-show. Instead, the biggest reward was the opportunity to earn a place in the Bigg Boss Telugu house. Contestants who successfully entered the main reality show were said to receive around Rs 75,000 per week, while those eliminated during the pre-show had to bear several expenses on their own.
According to the ongoing social media buzz, many contestants from the previous season spent money from their personal savings on shopping, travel, medical tests, costumes, accommodation, and other preparation costs before appearing on the show. This has become one of the talking points among Bigg Boss fans as discussions around contestant support continue online.
Now, rumours suggest that the makers have decided to introduce a financial incentive for the finalists of Agnipariksha Season 2. As per these reports, each of the Top 15 contestants could receive Rs 50,000, regardless of whether they eventually enter the Bigg Boss house. If implemented, the move could help contestants cover a portion of their preparation expenses and make the competition more rewarding.
However, it is important to note that Star Maa and the makers of Agnipariksha Season 2 have not officially confirmed these payment details. The information is currently based on social media speculation, and fans are waiting for an official announcement before the show’s premiere.
As anticipation continues to build, every new update surrounding Agnipariksha Season 2 is generating excitement among viewers eager to see which contestants will secure a place in Bigg Boss Telugu 10.
