Further on the news that after every season, there have been rumours that the Bollywood bhaijaan is stepping away from the show, he explained that there indeed have been talks, "But I think now even he has a huge emotional connection with this show. And that you see it playing out when he is on stage because, you know, the way he gets involved in a discussion or the way he gets involved in a mudda (issue), as we call it, is because it comes from within. I think, while you know, some seasons that he has been, like, I can't do any more, I think till now we have been lucky that he has always said yes. But much before we go on the floor, we go sit with him, talk to him, brief him on the broadcasting that we are doing, all of that."
Hosted by Salman Khan, Bigg Boss 19 streams daily at 9pm on JioHotstar and airs on Colors TV at 10:30 pm.
