Kapoor laughed off the question, emphasizing that Salman Khan's shoes are too big for anyone to fill. "No one can replace Salman Khan," Kapoor said with a smile. "Munawar, this is a very wrong question which has been put to me. No one can replace Salman Khan, and no one can replace Anil Kapoor as well. Salman is very happy, I spoke to him earlier about this. Let's not create any controversy, that will happen in Bigg Boss' house."

I was really surprised that my wife was very excited about the fact that I would be hosting Bigg Boss. Unki prerna leke aaya hoon (I have taken tips and inspiration from her and come here). She lightly said that you already know how to take care of the house as you have seen me do it, so you are ready to host Bigg Boss now."
