Colors TV reality show Bigg Boss is synonymous with Khan, who has been hosting it since its fourth season. To anchor the proceedings for the third season of its OTT version, the makers have roped in Kapoor.
Actor Anil Kapoor, who has taken over the hosting duties of Bigg Boss OTT 3 from his friend Salman Khan, on Tuesday said it would be wrong to say he has "replaced" the superstar as both of them have their own standing.
Bigg Boss on Colours TV is mostly associated with Khan, who has been presenting the show since its fourth season. The producers have enlisted Kapoor to serve as the show's anchor for the upcoming third season on over-the-top platforms.Kapoor, who has co-starred with Khan in films such as No Entry, Race 3, Biwi No. 1, and Yuvvraaj, said the former presenter is excited about him stepping in as the host.
"He is irreplaceable and so am I. Everyone's asking this question but it is very wrong. Nobody can replace Salman Khan. Similarly, nobody can replace Anil Kapoor. I spoke to him about it and he was excited that I’ve now taken over a non-fiction show.
"I wanted to do something different for a long time now. I’ve done many movies, judged shows but have never done anything like Bigg Boss, so I’m very excited for it," the actor told reporters here at the press conference of Bigg Boss OTT season three.
Kapoor, referring to Khan as his buddy and younger brother, argued that the term "replacement" was inaccurate and that performers are frequently replaced for a variety of reasons.
The 67-year-old also seemed unfazed when asked about being trolled on social media and being pitted against Khan as a host.
Fights are common in every household and Kapoor said, as the host, he will deal with controversies in the Bigg Boss house wisely.
"If the contestant will lie to me, I can handle that. I'll get to know if he or she is lying to me. But if they lie to themselves then it would be bad. I'll have to show some empathy and discipline. I'll also have to speak wisely with them. I'll have to show some empathy and discipline. I'll also have to speak wisely with them. I'll have to be true to myself. Maybe some people will like it, some won’t. But I promise to be true to myself in every situation," he added.
