This is the first time Salman will host Bigg Boss OTT.

Earlier Karan Johar and Farah Khan hosted the show. Since they are not present, he has stepped in, proclaims Salman.

"I hope the show is not too much uncensored or unfiltered," says Salman. Agar horaha hoga toh I will control everything on my own. I feel the show should not go against our Indian culture."

"I gets so many calls when I host Bigg Boss that I get irritated and switch off my phone," reveals Salman. "Before every season I get calls from a lot of people requesting me to take them on Bigg Boss as contestants."

"There are calls from their friends, family members. Be it politicians, actors or from any other walk of life, I get calls from everyone saying that Bigg Boss is a great platform for their career and they would love to be a part of the show. But they don't understand this decision is not in my hands."
