Salman Khan Reluctant to Continue Being Host for The Big Boss Franchise

On February 15 last week, the controversial and immensely loved show Bigg Boss – 13 finally bid adieu to its fans. Sidharth Shukla emerges as the winner of the thirteenth edition. He was really proud and happy about his victory.

But sources say that superhero Salman Khan is not satisfied by Sidharth Shukla’s win. Khan has some reservations that were not revealed. He did not like Shukla’s attitude and thought him undeserving for the winner’s trophy. The exact reasons have not been ascertained by the superstar.

The announcement of the results made Sidharth’s fan jump in elation. They were excited about the victory that few of them say coming. The fans were beaming with joy.

The results did not put a smile on Salman’s face. He considered Colors TV biased towards Shukla while announcing the results. According to him, the results did not truly reflect the spirits of the Big Boss franchise. The other celebrities in the house echoed the same in their views.

The opinions and reactions from various high-profile quarters did not seem to perturb Sidharth. He has been on seventh heaven since his victory and aims to continue focusing on his work on TV soaps.

The accusation of the show being fixed can’t be put aside. Resentment about the judgment is brimming and several celebrities are yet to accept the result open-heartedly.

But the bigger news is Salman Khan is too angry to host the fourteenth edition of the show that is slated to be aired later this year. He has decided to step down and end his partnership with the franchise. Media pundits are touting the show to become more popular in its next edition but Salman’s decision can severely depreciate its brand value and mass appeal.

Salman has made it very clear that it is not possible for him to be further associated with the show, directly or otherwise. The biased attitude of the Big Boss producers and Colors TV in favor of Shukla seemed to have angered him and he has no plans to remain as the host.

Many fans are taking Khan’s decision seriously and are disheartened. One of the most prominent USPs of the Bigg Boss brand is Salman Khan, and any crack in the relation between the star and the franchise is expected to erode the sheen that the show boasts off.

Although there are fans who claim that the relevance of the show will remain intact and it will grow even stronger, most of the fans are not too sure about it. Salman Khan has an indomitable aura that has till date played an instrumental part in intensifying the popularity and brand value of the show. Severing all ties with Bigg Boss would mean there could be glaring dents in popularity and TRP ratings.

In the coming days, clearer correspondence from Khan and the concerned stakeholders can reveal the more details about this story that has been going rounds through various social circles and media platforms, generating immense curiosity among the fans.
