Bigg
Boss
8
makers
have
decided
to
extend
the
show
for
a
month
and
due
to
his
tight
schedule,
Salman
Khan
has
decided
to
opt
of
the
show.
Farah
Khan,
the
choreographer/director/actor
is
roped
in
to
fill
his
shoes
as
the
host
of
the
show.
The
makers
of
the
show
have
decided
to
extend
the
high
voltage
reality
show
for
four
more
weeks
and
they
have
already
discussed
this
with
the
contestants
and
have
received
green
signal
from
them.
But
things
could
not
be
worked
out
for
Salman
to
continue
hosting
the
show
because
of
his
Bajrangi
Bhaijaan
shooting.
"Salman
can't
host
the
show
after
the
first
week
of
January
due
to
his
choc-a-bloc
schedule.
Hence,
after
a
lot
of
negotiations,
they
finally
roped
in
Farah
as
the
host," added
a
source
close
to
the
show.
It
was
reported
that
the
production
team
first
approached
Karan
Johar,
and
then
Anil
Kapoor
to
replace
Khan.
However,
both
of
them
refused.
Hence,
Farah
who
apparently
loves
the
show
was
asked
to
come
on
board.
It
is
often
said
that
Salman
did
not
want
to
host
Bigg
Boss
8
in
the
first
place
this
season
and
with
this
trial
period
of
Farah
replacing
Salman
will
give
the
makers
as
well
as
the
viewers
to
get
to
know
how
things
will
be
like
when
Salman
won't
be
the
host
of
the
show.
