The
biggest
reality
show
Bigg
Boss
12
was
launched
yesterday
(September
4,
2018)
at
the
Villa
Marina
in
Goa.
Salman
Khan
entertained
the
guests
and
journalists
at
the
event.
The
actor,
who
is
returning
as
the
host
of
the
show
for
the
sixth
time,
also
revealed
some
interesting
trivia!
During
the
media
interaction,
he
revealed
that
Shahrukh
Khan
was
the
original
choice
to
host
the
show.
But
SRK
couldn't
host
the
show,
as
he
suffered
from
shoulder
injury
at
that
time.
He
also
introduced
Bharti
Singh
and
Harsh
Limbachiyaa
as
the
first
jodi
of
the
show.
We
are
sure
that
many
of
them
might
feel
that
Salman
Khan
is
involved
in
the
selection
of
contestants.
During
the
media
interaction,
the
actor
said
that
he
does
get
calls
from
people
who
are
interested
in
participating
in
the
controversial
reality
show,
but
clarified
that
he
doesn't
take
a
call
on
casting
the
contestants.
The
actor
was
quoted
by
IANS
as
saying,
"I
get
a
lot
of
calls
but
I
tell
them
that
I
am
not
part
of
the
casting
bit."
Salman
says
that
nothing
can
be
hidden
and
people
cannot
fake
on
camera.
Regarding
the
theme,
the
host
said,
"There
will
be
interesting
jodis
and
the
more
interesting
people
are
the
people
in
the
creative
team
who
will
make
sure
that
the
jodis
break
up.
So
no
matter
how
much
they
(contestants)
plan
or
whisper,
they
have
a
microphone
all
the
time.
Everything
can
be
heard.
The
cameras
are
there
24/7
and
there
are
three
batches
of
people
who
watch
everyone."
When
asked
whether
he
will
have
a
co-host
on
the
show,
the
actor
said,
"No." The
actor
confessed
that
he
has
many
favourites
on
the
show.
He
was
quoted
by
IANS
as
saying,
"There
are
so
many
of
them.
People
who
have
gone
over
the
top,
they
don't
have
any
work.
The
ones
who
conquered
their
weaknesses
and
developed
their
strengths,
are
doing
well."
He
praised
the
Bigg
Boss
8
winner
and
said,
"Gautam
Gulati
lost
the
plot
in
the
first
two
weeks
and
after
that,
he
turned
everything
around
to
win
'Bigg
Boss'
which
is
a
commendable
thing."
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
Salman
Khan
has
been
helping
the
contestants
inside
the
house
to
sort
out
issue.
He
even
reprimands
them
when
they
cross
the
line!
But
only
a
few
take
it
in
good
spirits,
while
many
of
them
blame,
even
threaten,
Salman
after
they
leave
the
house.
They
are
also
seen
using
his
name
to
gain
popularity
in
the
media.
When
Salman
was
asked
regarding
the
same,
he
said,
"It's
fine!
How
does
it
matter?"
Bigg
Boss
12
will
be
aired
on
Colors
on
September
16,
2018.
