Bigg Boss has always been a show where unexpected twists keep viewers hooked, but this time the surprise comes not from inside the house, but from the hosting panel itself.
Fans tuning in for the much-awaited “Weekend Ka Vaar” may not see Salman Khan. This sudden change has created a wave of curiosity: Who will host Bigg Boss 19 this week?
Why Salman Khan will not be there?
It has now been revealed that Salman Khan, the long-standing face of Bigg Boss, will not be available to host this week’s “Weekend Ka Vaar.” The superstar is currently in Doha, Qatar, for Da-Bangg The Tour Reloaded, scheduled for November 14. The tour features a star-studded lineup including Tamannaah Bhatia, Jacqueline Fernandez, Prabhu Deva, Maniesh Paul, Sunil Grover, and Stebin Ben, all performing under the leadership of Salman Khan himself. Because of this international commitment, he is unable to be present for the shoot of this week’s episode.
Who will host the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar?
Meanwhile, as per reports, the strongest name to emerge is none other than Rohit Shetty, one of Bollywood’s most successful directors and also the host of the adventure reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi. His commanding screen presence, sharp humour, and ability to handle dramatic situations make him a strong contender to host Bigg Boss 19 this week. While not officially confirmed, insiders suggest that Rohit Shetty is the frontrunner to take over the “Weekend Ka Vaar” seat temporarily.
