On Friday, Salman briefly interacted with the media and shared what he has in store for his fans with the upcoming season of the controversial reality show. Interestingly, Salman’s hosting stint on OTT comes a few months after he voiced his view at a recent event that OTT content should be subjected to examination, with the elimination of any content featuring vulgarity or nudity, and he emphasized the requirement for meticulous monitoring of such material. At the press meeting of Bigg Boss OTT 2, Salman expressed similar sentiments.”Main OTT pe bhi kuch aisa nahin hone dunga jo culture ke khilaaf hai (I won’t let anyone do something that is against our culture)…. I think guidelines have also been implemented on OTT which led to the content’s improvement,” he said.

The first season of Bigg Boss OTT was streamed on Voot and it was hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar. Divya Agarwal was announced as the winner of the last season. On the other hand, three finalists from Bigg Boss OTT Shamita Shetty, Pratik Sehajpal and Nishant Bhat were given a chance to be in the main show (Bigg Boss 15).
