There is a major shake-up coming to the Bigg Boss 20 stage this week. Salman Khan has officially announced that he will be stepping away from his hosting duties for the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode due to prior professional commitments. Taking his place is none other than blockbuster filmmaker Rohit Shetty, who has been personally tapped by Salman to keep the housemates in check.
Addressing the contestants during the latest episode, Salman shared the news with his signature wit, telling the housemates that he would be away and had requested the Singham director to step in. He jokingly added that if the contestants have a penchant for playing with danger, they should be prepared for what is to come under Shetty’s watch. Salman confirmed that he will return to the stage the following week.
This isn’t the first time the filmmaker has taken the reins of the reality show. Rohit Shetty is a familiar face to the Bigg Boss audience, having stepped in to host episodes in previous seasons. He also made a notable appearance during Bigg Boss 19, where he engaged with contestants Gaurav Khanna and Farrhana Bhatt. Fans are already buzzing on social media, eager to see how the action-oriented director handles the current house dynamics, with many viewers actively calling for stricter action against contestant Mahhi Vij.
The announcement comes on the heels of an emotional eviction in the house. The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode saw the journey of Aman Gandhi come to an end, a moment that left fellow contestants Arishfa Khan and Uditi Singh visibly devastated. As the housemates adjust to the loss of a peer and the anticipation of a guest host, the intensity inside the Bigg Boss house is clearly reaching a boiling point.
