Talking about returning as a host on the show for the 18th time, Salman said, “Returning to ‘Bigg Boss’ for its 18th season feels like coming home to a grand legacy we’ve built together over the years. Each season, we rewrite the definition of entertainment, and this year is no exception. With the theme ‘Time ka Tandav’. Bigg Boss isn’t just keeping an eye on the present — he’s peeking into the future of the housemates.”
When the first confirmed contestant, Nia Sharma was approached for commenting about the show, she took to her social media handle to write, “Hi There! Please don’t call or text me to ask anything about the Bigg Boss thing. Mujhe Maaf Kardo. Mein nahi reply karungi. [Forgive me. I will not reply.] Not up for giving quotes or any interviews. Have an awesome day.”
