Ranvir Shorey Says He Would've Preferred Salman Khan As Bigg Boss OTT 3 Host: 'I've Worked With Him'

Over the past two years, viewers have seen famous Bollywood stars on Bigg Boss. In 2022, director Sajid Khan was on Bigg Boss 16, and last year, actress Pooja Bhatt was a contestant on Bigg Boss OTT 2. This year, actor Ranvir Shorey will join Bigg Boss OTT 3. In an interview with Indianexpress.com, Ranvir said he would have preferred Salman Khan as the host instead of Anil Kapoor. He also noted that the environment will be tough for him due to his temperament.

Ranvir explained why he joined Bigg Boss OTT 3, saying he gets offered the show every year but couldn’t join before. This year, with his son in the US for summer vacation and no major work commitments, he felt it was the right time. “Actually, I get a call from Bigg Boss every year, but due to some reasons, I was unable to participate. But this year my son is going to the US to spend his summer vacations and I had no major work. The second reason I think is I badly needed a detox from screens. This year everything clicked and fell into place. My family and friends understood my reasons for doing it at this moment and also that I’m old enough to own up to decisions and consequences. ”

Ranvir talked about how he plans to manage in the Bigg Boss house and whether he has the right personality for it. He said, “I am not the coolest person, I tend to lose my calm over small issues. So this is going to be a challenge for me. But I’m not going under any pressure. Also, limited food is going to be a challenge. But I’m hoping they’ll give us sufficient food that’s needed to survive. I’m sure they’re not calling us to starve. But I am going to keep telling myself, you’re just going to be here for a month or so, so chill. My strategy is to keep myself busy. Doing household chores, doing exercises, and healing my body. ”

Many people have mixed feelings about Anil Kapoor replacing Salman Khan as the host of Bigg Boss OTT this year. Ranvir also felt a bit disappointed, saying, “If Salman Sir had been hosting the show, it would have made me happier as I have worked with him in the past, and it would have been in my favour as a contestant. But Anil sir is a legend and a very charming person and brings with him a certain hugeness, so I am quite excited but also hoping that he will cut me some slack.”
