A prominent name in the Indian gaming and esports space has entered the Bigg Boss 20 house. Tanmay Singh, popularly known as ScoutOP, has also built a strong presence in content creation, amassing a large following.
During his interaction with show host Salman Khan, Tanmay revealed his monthly income from gaming and content creation, leaving the Bollywood actor surprised.
Salman asked, “Ye esport khelte ho aap, ye maze ke liye khelte ho ya profession hai (Do you play esport for fun or as a profession?)” ScoutOp replied, “Sir, kick milta hai (Sir, it gives me a kick).” Salman then asked, “Kitna aata hai (How much do you earn)?” Tanmay answered the question in Salman's ear. However, Salman repeated it aloud in disbelief, saying, “30? Mahine ka Rs. 30 lakh?” Tanmay confirmed that he earns around Rs. 30 lakh every month through esports.
Tanmay further revealed that he receives his earnings through cheques and claimed that it is all his hard-earned white money. Reacting to his revelation, Salman praised him and said, “Kya baat hai. To phir bolne ka na Rs. 30 lakh wo bhi white mein...” Salman then jokingly encouraged the kids watching to start playing the game.
