Anil Kapoor has officially been confirmed as the new host for Bigg Boss OTT Season 3, replacing Salman Khan. In a newly released promo video, Kapoor promises an exceptional season, stating, “Bahot hua jhakas, karte hai iss baar kuch khaas” (Enough of the usual, let’s do something special this time).
The promo begins with scenes of contestants fighting, followed by the entry of a man whose face is hidden, but his voice reveals it to be Anil Kapoor.
Anil Kapoor’s presence has sparked excitement and curiosity among fans.
Jio Cinema shared the promo on their social media, captioning it, “A new host for the new season of Bigg Boss OTT! Aur Bigg Boss ki tarha, inki awaaz hi kaafi hai” (Just like Bigg Boss, his voice alone is enough).
Fan Reactions and Previous Reports
Earlier, the popular Twitter handle ‘The Khabri’ hinted at Anil Kapoor replacing Salman Khan, causing mixed reactions among fans. Some expressed disappointment, feeling that Salman Khan’s absence might affect the show’s TRP, while others suggested Karan Johar as a potential host, recalling his stint as the host for Bigg Boss OTT Season 1.
In April, Endemol Shine India, the production house behind Bigg Boss, shared a teaser poster featuring Salman Khan. The poster, which asked the audience who they wanted to see as the next host, was later removed, fueling speculation about the host change.
Controversies Surrounding Salman Khan
This news also coincides with recent incidents involving Salman Khan. On April 14, gunshots were fired outside his residence in Mumbai, with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claiming responsibility.
Bigg Boss OTT 3 is set to premiere in June, with the exact date yet to be announced. Fans eagerly await to see how Anil Kapoor brings his unique flair to the popular reality show.
