New Delhi: It seems that when Salman Khan says no, he means yes. After dropping multiple hints that he would not be returning to host another season of Bigg Boss, Alpha Khan may just be hosting season eight of the reality show after all.
Salman is incredibly busy with a stack of films including Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Karan Johar's Shuddhi, both of which have very long schedules and will see him alter his look. (Also: Salman feels hosting Bigg Boss is challenging)
In the last few seasons of Bigg Boss, Salman seemed to be getting increasingly agitated by the attitude of the celebrity contestants who dished out large helpings of drama for the cameras. We saw him getting into verbal altercations with many contestants, apart from times when he openly expressed his displeasure at the overall decorum in the house.
Though Bigg Boss is a big draw on television, it was still lagging behind Comedy Nights With Kapil in terms of TRPs.
All this combined with Salman's recent quips about getting someone else to host the show were pointing towards a Salman-shaped hole in the upcoming season of Bigg Boss.
But now reports suggest that he will in fact return to host the season, for a much higher fee of course. According to Mid-Day, The fee in question could be as high as Rs 5 to 6 crores per week.
The show itself may be rescheduled around Salman's hectic schedule. There are reports that the show will start airing in August instead of the usual October.
