It would not be wrong to say that for over a decade, the controversial reality show ‘Bigg Boss’ has been synonymous with actor Salman Khan.

However, it is now being reported that Salman would miss hosting ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3’.

As per a report in Pinkvilla, the makers are keen to have Salman on board for this season as well, but due to his shoot schedules, he might not be able to make it. And keeping that in mind, the makers are approaching other celebrities as well to host the upcoming season.

While Karan hosted the first season of ‘Bigg Boss OTT’, Sanjay Dutt hosted ‘Bigg Boss Season 5’. Farah Khan too has hosted the show for brief intervals in the past. 

While the host is yet to be finalised, a tentative list of contestants has made it to social media. It is believed that actors Shehzada Dhami, Pratiksha Honmukhe, Aashish Mehrotra, Paras Kalnawat, and Vicky Jain, have already been approached for the reality show besides social media influencers Maxtern aka Sagar Thakur and Thugesh aka Mahesh Keshwala.
