Salman Khan addresses Bigg Boss 20 line-up backlash, calls hosting contestants a ‘privilege’ in sarcastic dig

Salman Khan, the host of Bigg Boss 20, recently addressed the backlash over the contestant lineup in a sarcastic manner during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode. Responding to Amrapali Dubey's query about any missing elements in the Bigg Boss 20 house, Khan explained that even a carefully considered selection can have its shortcomings.

He emphasized that hosting the contestants was a privilege, and it was due to their prayers, contributions, misbehavior, and emotional involvement that he felt proud. The Bigg Boss 20 house now comprises a diverse mix of actors, singers, digital creators, and personalities, including Mahhi Vij, Aasif Khan, Aman Gandhi, Amrapali Dubey, Qazi Touqeer, Rhiti Tiwari, Yung DSA, ScoutOP, Arishfa Khan, and Mary Kom.

Despite some criticism, the first week of the show has generated significant discussion about the contestants' interactions and the season's twist of having two lives to protect them from nominations.
