Pakistani actor Babrik Shah has revealed that he was the highest-paid contestant on the reality television show Tamasha 5, sharing details about his earnings and experience during a recent interview.
During the conversation, the actor discussed how he joined the popular reality programme and explained what he knew about the show’s format before signing the contract. Babrik admitted that he had never watched Tamasha before agreeing to become part of its fifth season.
He also disclosed that he was unaware of the prize money offered to the eventual winner when he initially agreed to participate. According to him, he only learned about the winning reward on the first day of the show, when the organisers explained the details.
One of the most interesting parts of the interview was Babrik’s discussion of his financial arrangement with the programme. When asked about his daily payment, the actor described his remuneration as quite healthy and revealed that the amount was in the millions.
Although he did not disclose an exact figure during the conversation, his statement that he was the highest-paid contestant has attracted attention from entertainment followers. His comments have also sparked interest in how contestants are compensated for participating in reality television programmes in Pakistan.
Babrik’s remarks offer a glimpse into the financial side of reality shows, where contestants may receive payments for their participation in addition to competing for the winner’s prize. However, the actor’s comments do not establish the precise amount he earned throughout his time on Tamasha 5.
Babrik Shah has remained associated with Pakistan’s entertainment industry for several years. Over the course of his career, he has appeared in various television dramas and films, building recognition among audiences through his performances.
Some of his notable projects include Dastaan, Koi Tujh Sa Kahan and Mohabbataan Sachiyaan. His appearance on Tamasha 5 introduced him to another kind of television format, allowing viewers to see him beyond his scripted acting roles.
His recent interview has generated curiosity about his experience on the show, particularly his decision to participate without having watched previous seasons and his revelation about the payment arrangement.
For now, Babrik Shah has confirmed that his daily remuneration was in the millions, but he has not publicly specified the exact amount he received for appearing on Tamasha 5.
