Bigg Boss 18 Host Replaced

The popularity of Bigg Boss from season one has been on an exponential rise as each show brings a new batch of contestants leading to new bedrooms, enemies, friendships, heartbreaks, and plots within the larger framework of the drama. With Salman Khan as the host since Season 4, he has been the face that has attracted viewers making Weekend Ka Vaar become an unrivaled feature with the fans.

This season however, the host of the show is expected to take a break since Salman will be on an extended break as he starts work on his film lead times for Sikandar. Colors TV confirms via an Instagram post that filmmaker Rohit Shetty and producer Ekta Kapoor will shoulder his responsibilities for Weekend Ka Vaar. The post from the channel has raised expectations of a high-octane interaction during the program, stating: “Since there will be some extremely fantastic guests performing this Weekend Ka Vaar, there will be some enormous explosions.”

The news of Ekta Kapoor and Rohit Shetty being special hosts for the Weekend Ka Vaar segments of the show evoked thrills among the fans of the show 'Bigg Boss'. Both are experienced in both television and film and have big personalities, and their team up on Bigg Boss means the show has a new edge to its weekend episodes. The couple is scheduled to appear on Colors TV and JioCinema every Friday and Saturday at 9:30 PM.

Colors TV posted a clip of her talking to the housemates: ‘Dekhiye Shukravaar Ka Vaar Ekta Kapoor ke saath, Jahan gharwaale karenge bayaan apne haalaat' (Watch Shukravaar Ka Vaar with Ekta Kapoor because the housemates will address their concerns to her). This will surely be a normal week for Ekta because she will be the center of controversy as soon to be anticipated in this episode

Salman Khan has been the regular host of the show Bigg Boss since the 4th season, however there have been instances where other celebs have had to take over due to his other commitments. Here are a few other names that are worth mentioning who have hosted during his absence:

Farah Khan: In Bigg Boss 16, Farah hosted the first Shukravaar Ka Vaar adding to the week’s controversies with her no-nonsense approach.

Anil Kapoor: It was in Bigg Boss OTT Season 3, Anil Kapoor was seen doing hosting duties resolving inside matters with his energy.

Karan Johar: During Bigg Boss OTT Season 1, he hosted the Bigg Boss, making his stamp on the digital edition of the franchise.

This temporary hosting change is likely to be exciting and give the show’s fans a fresh outlook and add some new drama to the already ongoing drama within the Bigg Boss house. Fans can’t wait to see how exactly Ekta Kapoor and Rohit Shetty will conduct the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes in place of the ever favourite, Salman Khan.
