Speaking about his new hosting duties, Johar said, “My mom [Hiroo Johar] and I are huge Bigg Boss fans and wouldn’t miss it for a day. As a viewer, it keeps me hugely entertained with dollops of drama. For decades now, I have always enjoyed hosting shows and now with Bigg Boss OTT... it will surely be Over the Top. It’s my mother’s dream come true.”
“Bigg Boss OTT will undeniably have a lot more sensational and dramatic,” he added. “I hope I can live up to the audience’s and my friends’ expectations, make Weekend Ka Vaar with the contestants an enjoyable affair in my own style and up the ante on the entertainment quotient. Wait for it!”
The contestants of the inaugural digital edition are yet to be announced.
