Now,
Salman
Khan
during

recent
press
conference
for

insights
into

the
filmmaker
did
not
return
as
the
host
for
the
show.
The
Bajrangi
Bhaijaans
star
revealed,
"Karan
Johar
and
Farah
Khan
were
not
available
to
host
the
show.
They
were
very
busy.
Hence,
I
had
to
do
the
OTT
version."
Well,
the
hosting
of
the
previous
season
was
done
by
Farah
Khan
and
Karan
Johar
had
received
mixed
reviews
from
viewers
as
they
felt
the
hosts
were
biased
towards
a
few
contestants.
Salman
Khan
further
emphasized
maintaining
cultural
values
in
the
OTT
version
of
the
show
and
said
that
he
will
control
everything
on
his
own
and
won't
allow
too
much
uncensored
or
unfiltered
content.
The
actor
was
quoted,
"I
won't
allow
anything
that
goes
against
our
culture
to
happen
on
the
OTT
platform.
I
hope
the
show
is
not
too
much
uncensored
or
unfiltered.
If
anything
happens,
I
will
control
everything
on
my
own."
He
also
told
ANI,
"Main
OTT
pe
bhi
kuch
aisa
nahin
hone
dunga
jo
culture
ke
khilaaf
hai
(I
won't
let
anyone
do
something
that
is
against
our
culture)...
I
think
guidelines
have
also
been
implemented
on
OTT,
leading
to
the
content's
improvement."
