Vijay Vikram Singh Calls Salman Khan Integral to Bigg Boss IdentityPreviousNext

Actor and narrator Vijay Vikram Singh highlighted Salman Khan's significant role as the host of Bigg Boss, describing him as an integral part of the show's identity and audience connection. While acknowledging the show could continue without any individual, Singh said it is difficult to imagine Bigg Boss in its current form without Salman, who has hosted since Season 4 in 2010 and is set to return for Season 18. He compared Salman's role to Rohit Shetty's association with Khatron Ke Khiladi.
