When asked about paying Rs 16 lakh for a PR campaign outside the Bigg Boss house, an emotional Anumol told Asianet, “Many people are saying that I won this title spending Rs 16 lakhs on various PR teams. That’s not true. I don’t have that kind of money. I was informed about this PR aspect just before entering the show. I was told that everyone who participates in Bigg Boss has PR support. So, I got a bit scared as I had never thought of that. So I got the contact of one such PR person and asked them the price. They told me Rs 15 lakh. But I didn’t choose that and went for the Rs 1 lakh option. I paid Rs 50,000 as an advance, and the rest 50,000 I will be paying now since I won the title. I have no idea who started this story about the Rs 16 lakh PR payment. This is the only truth.”
