Shocking news broke out regarding ‘Bigg Boss 18’ going around that the ever so permanent host of the show, Salman Khan may not be hosting it. This revelation has surprised many people and has raised concern especially because Salman is highly associated with the reality show.
It would seem that the main rationale for this decision is connected with Salman’s health. The actor was recently admitted to hospital in a critical condition, said to be being suffering from dengue. The illness together with demanding nature of having to host a show such as ‘Bigg Boss’ has led to question marks being raised about the kind of toll it takes on him. Because of his previous health issues, such as the neurological disorder trigeminal neuralgia that Garland publicly suffered for some time, this decision, despite its emotional impact for fans, really appears to be the most proper one.
It would be completely unfair to question the choice of Bollywood’s badshah Salman Khan as the host of the reality show ‘’Bigg Boss’. Since he took over in the fourth season, the show has been dealing a lot of its humor and sometimes even discipline, thanks to him becoming an icon in the show’s format. His mannerisms especially when dealing with the contestants especially through his blunt comments and occasional scolding has been a major selling point for the fans thus making ‘’almost impossible’’ to swap.
Nevertheless, entertainment industry is one, which cannot remain constant and the show must go on. The brains behind “Bigg Boss 18” are now the problem of having to look for a new host that can measure up to charisma and authority that comes with being hosting by Salman. Everybody is guessing who might be the next person to step into Salman’s shoes, but that is going to be one hell of a challenge for anyone.
On the same note, people pity the loss due to superhit films, but at the same time, everyone supports Salman’s decision that health is very important rather than work. The fans of the actor are waiting for his return to films if he does not return to Bigg Boss again in the future.
Altogether, let me reiterate that the decision to let Salman Khan leave ‘Bigg Boss 18’ is certainly an important change for the show, but at the same time, it is also an important reminder to take care of one’s health. They will more than likely miss him on the show but he has definitely left his mark on it.
