Will be a cakewalk for me, says Salman Khan

-

The reality show Bigg Boss has moved from its regular location in Lonavala to Mumbai’s Goregaon Film City in season 13, due to kick off in a few days, but the show’s superstar host Salman Khan doesn’t seem excited with the venue change.

Talking on the sidelines of a promotiona­l event on Monday, Salman explained why Film City is not a great choice for the reality show.

“Less of travel (will be required), yes, in kilometres, but in the wrong traffic hour, so it is more of travel. From here to Lonavala it takes anything between one hour fifteen minutes and two hours. From (Salman’s residence) Galaxy to Filmcity, in bad traffic, it takes a good two-and-a-half to three hours, sometimes even more,” he pointed out.

Talking about the format of the show for season 13, the superstar said there would be no common people in the house this time.

“This whole thing of commoner and celebrity - I don’t think there is much of a difference between them. Commoner and celebrity are just terms. Everybody is a commoner, everybody is a celebrity. Once they enter the house and you watch them on TV, they become a celebrity,” he said.

Elaboratin­g more on this year’s contestant­s, the Bigg Boss host said: “This time I think they have gone for all celebritie­s, who are very big on television, across various industries. So, it is a nice blend of a lot of different (people).”

What new thing does Bigg Boss 13 offer for its viewers? Salman revealed: “In a month’s time, they (the contestant­s) have a finale. So, you are competing for the finale right within four weeks, and then two weeks after that there are twists and turns, and then it is time for the main finale.”he said the concept of punishment­s and jail has been retained.

The superstar has been hosting the reality show for years now. So what if he were a contestant on the show? Salman smiled and replied: “I will survive. For me, it would be a cakewalk inside the house.”ians
