Bollywood fans, here’s some exciting news! The popular reality show Bigg Boss OTT is returning for its third season, but there’s a big change. Superstar Salman Khan will not be hosting this season. Instead, the charismatic Anil Kapoor will be stepping in as the new host.
Salman Khan is Stepping Down
Salman Khan, who is known for his dynamic hosting of Bigg Boss, has decided to step down from hosting the OTT version this year. The reason? Salman is busy preparing for his upcoming film, Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss. According to sources, Salman’s focus on the film’s preparations is one of the main reasons for his decision.
“Salman is getting ready to start shooting for Sikandar in June,” said a source. “Because of this, he has decided to let go of hosting Bigg Boss OTT. He also felt that it might start to feel repetitive for the audience since he also hosts the TV version of Bigg Boss.”
Anil Kapoor to Host Bigg Boss OTT 3
With Salman Khan stepping down, the makers of Bigg Boss OTT have brought in another Bollywood legend, Anil Kapoor, to host the third season. Anil Kapoor, known for his energetic personality and catchphrase “jhakaas,” seems like a perfect fit for the show.
In a recent promo released by Jio Cinema on their official Instagram account, they teased the upcoming season with a hint at the new host. The promo ends with a voiceover saying, “Yeh season hoga khaas ekdum jhakaas,” using the term “jhakaas,” which is closely associated with Anil Kapoor.
