Confirming the news, Saurabh Yagnik, who is the EVP and Business Head of Sony Pictures Networks India said, `We are excited to have Kareena Kapoor Khan as the 'Feel Alive' Ambassador for Sony BBC Earth. Her personality perfectly resonates with our brand proposition and channel content, which will be revealed soon. I am confident that this unique association will take the factual entertainment experience to a whole new level for our viewers in India.'
Now, it is super great to see her on our small screen. She has joined the brigade of Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and other A-listers and has got one of the HIGHEST pay packets. Well, a source told Hindustan Times, `The brand was keen to have her on board as she was not only well known globally but was also very popular in London, UK. She shot for two days for the ad, taking home a cool pay packet of Rs 12 crore, which is unheard of. She is definitely one of the highest paid actors bagging this sum, if not the highest.`
Now, Bebo has surely created HISTORY by grabbing this deal and according to a source, she shot for about two days and walked away with this huge sum. The source further added, `It's a well-known global factual entertainment channel and they had approached Kareena during her pregnancy. One of the main reasons is her connect with the global audiences. She is quite popular in the UK, a country that she visits often with her hubby Saif Ali Khan. When Kareena was approached for it, she also felt it was a perfect fit for her. She has seen her buddies Salman Khan and Karan Johar connecting with the audiences on TV and felt this was the right time for her to be seen on the small screen.`
