Veteran actor Anil Kapoor is stepping into the spotlight for a new challenge: hosting Bigg Boss OTT 3. This marks a significant shift for the reality show, which has been synonymous with Salman Khan for years. While Khan remains the face of the main Bigg Boss seasons, Kapoor will be bringing his charisma and experience to the digital version.
Kapoor’s foray into hosting comes amidst the buzz surrounding his absence from the upcoming sequels to two of his popular comedies. Fans were disappointed to learn he wouldn’t be returning for No Entry 2 and Welcome 3 sequels. However, Kapoor seems unfazed, channeling his energy into this new venture.
At the press conference on Tuesday, the actor said, “Riteish Deshmukh is doing Bigg Boss Marathi. Please watch it. He is a very good friend of mine, like my younger brother. Just like Salman Khan, he is also like my younger brother. We are all well-wishers of each other. Sometimes I replace him, sometimes he replaces me. But, this word (replace) is wrong. Everyone will have work. Sometimes it doesn’t work out due to time or dates.”
Hinting at the two movies, he added, “Recently, I was replaced in two places in films. Now, what is the reason I don’t know. But these things happen. We are just doing our jobs with sincerity and honesty. That’s what life is.”

While details about the upcoming season are still under wraps, speculation is rife about the kind of host Kapoor will be. Will he emulate Khan’s stern yet playful style, or will he forge his own path? One thing’s for certain: Kapoor’s experience of navigating the ever-evolving world of entertainment will undoubtedly be an asset.
The decision to bring Kapoor on board could be a strategic move by the makers of Bigg Boss OTT. By introducing a new host, they can attract a different audience segment, perhaps those who haven’t been as invested in the show with Khan. This could not only boost viewership but also open doors for future seasons with rotating hosts, keeping the format fresh and exciting.
Of course, there will be comparisons between Khan and Kapoor. Both are Bollywood heavyweights with dedicated fan bases. But instead of viewing this as a competition, it’s an opportunity to see Bigg Boss OTT through a different lens. Kapoor’s take on the show is bound to be unique, adding a new layer of entertainment for viewers.
It’s also interesting to consider how the contestants will react to Kapoor’s hosting style. Khan’s experience and aura often command respect from contestants. Kapoor, with his friendly and approachable demeanor, might foster a different dynamic. This could lead to more candid conversations, unexpected clashes, and a fresh brand of drama within the house.
The upcoming season of Bigg Boss OTT promises to be a captivating one. With a new host at the helm and the ever-unpredictable nature of reality TV, viewers can expect a rollercoaster ride filled with drama, competition, and entertainment. Whether Kapoor can match the magic Salman Khan brought to the show remains to be seen, but his presence undoubtedly injects a dose of excitement and intrigue into Bigg Boss OTT 3.
