Bigg Boss 19 is gearing up for its first elimination weekend, but there’s a twist this time - host Salman Khan won’t be on stage. The superstar is currently
occupied with the Ladakh schedule of his upcoming film Battle of Galwan , which has kept him away from the Weekend Ka Vaar shoot.
Salman Khan skips Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar shoot
Salman was recently spotted at Leh airport before heading to the film’s set. Sources reveal that director Apoorva Lakhia has planned back-to-back action sequences in Ladakh’s extreme weather conditions. With winter fast approaching, the team is focused on completing the toughest portions first. This packed schedule has made it impossible for Salman to return to Mumbai for the shoot.
To ensure fans don’t miss out on the drama and energy of the weekend episodes, the makers have roped in Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi as guest hosts. The duo, who are already creating buzz with their upcoming film Jolly LLB 3, will take charge of the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes on September 13 and 14.
Arshad Warsi, the OG host of Bigg Boss Season 1, makes a nostalgic return to the stage after 18 years, while Akshay Kumar’s energetic persona promises a refreshing twist. Actor Saurabh Shukla, also part of Jolly LLB 3, is expected to join them on stage.
