Superstar Salman Khan interacted with the media at the press conference of Bigg Boss 16 in Mumbai on Tuesday. The event saw him introducing the first contestant and also giving a glimpse of what fans can expect from the brand-new season. As per the promos of the reality show, this year, Bigg Boss will ‘play the game’ with the contestants.
Unlike every year, there is hardly any buzz around Bigg Boss ahead of its release with few popular celebrities signing on the dotted line. Television faces will once again dominate the show with actors Tina Dutta, Sreejita De, Gautam Vig Shalin Bhanot, Sumbul Touqueer and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia getting locked in the house. Miss India Manya Singh and Bollywood actor Soundarya Sharma have also been roped in, along with Haryanvi dancer Gori Nagori. Filmmaker and #MeToo accused Sajid Khan is also likely to be a part of Salman‘s show. While there’s no confirmation yet, TV actors Shivin Narang, Prakruti Mishra, Chandni Sharma Surbhi Jyoti and comedian Munawar Faruqui may also be part of Bigg Boss 16.
This season of the reality show is said to come with a new set of rules, as Bigg Boss himself will play the game. Host Salman Khan, in the promos, was seen channeling his inner villain as he got into the getup of Gabbar Singh and Mogambo. He also assured that everyone’s plans would fail as he will bring up some new twists in the game.
The grand premiere of Bigg Boss 16 will air on October 1 and 2, where Salman Khan will introduce the contestants before they are locked inside the house for 105 days. The show will then air Monday-Friday at 10 pm, while Bollywood Bhaijaan will grill the housemates on the Weekend Ka Vaar at 9:30 pm.
The press conference of Colors' reality show Bigg Boss Season 16 has ended.
“The bad does piss me off. You get to watch just one hour but there are times when they cross the line. Sometimes people over react and it’s important to control them. The boundaries need to be set,” says Salman Khan.
“Bohot kuch sekhne ko milta hai. I get to meet so many people and whenever everyone goes off track, I like getting them back on the right way. I protect the bullied and bully the ones who bully. The four months that we are on air, we do develop a bond,” says Salman Khan.
“This season Salma aunty and Hiroo aunty will definitely watch the show. Audiences know exactly what will happen but this time it will be very different,” says Shital Iyer, Senior VP Non Fiction Head Colors.
“I also get irritated sometimes and tell this people that I don’t want to do the show. But these people are majboor to take me. If not me, who then. However, if it was on them, they wouldn’t come to me. Main khud apne paas na jaun. But inke paas option nahi hai,” says Salman Khan.
“Itna mujhe kabhi life mein nahi milega. Itna mil gaya toh kabhi kaam na karo. I have a lot of expenses, like lawyers. Because of these rumours, income tax people notice and come to me,” says Salman Khan.
“I have always played. Earlier people would play their real games then people started playing the game. They think we don’t know but we can see the pretentiousness. Humara jo system hai, it is not partial at all. It is fair and we don’t let anyone cross their lines. We know everthing about them,” says Salman Khan.
“I am very happy. I am excited to go inside the house. I love everyone and please support me,” says Abdu Rozik.

“This season will be difficult, fast and unpredictable,” says Salman Khan.
This season, Bigg Boss Weekend Ka Vaar will air on Friday and Saturday.
Bigg Boss says Salman Khan will be not able to chill this season.
Salman Khan asks Bigg Boss, "Will Bigg Boss be seen this year?” He replies, “No”. Bigg Boss adds, “I will make them run so much that they will get tired. Everything will be speedified. It’s a race this time. If anyone thinks that they know the game and the show, then they are wrong."
“The game is different this season as Bigg Boss khud khelega. Active minds ke andar jo sawal ubhar rahe hai on how he will play, even I don’t know. I don’t want to speculate,” says Salman Khan.
“Expect the unexpected. Don’t know kaisa hoga yeh season, but jo bhi hoga accha hoga. Yeh season waah waah hai. Iss season mein soul hai tabhi isse solwa season kehte hai,” says Salman Khan.
"India's megastar whose magic is only growing every year," says Gauahar Khan as she invites Salman Khan to the stage.
Gauahar Khan says just like fans she too waits for Bigg Boss every year. She says, "Not summer, not winner but the season of Bigg Boss."
