Bigg Boss: Not Salman Khan, this actor he once had Rift, was the first choice to present. Here is the reason why he rejected

Bigg Boss is back with a new season, Bigg Boss 19. While a new set of participants entered the Bigg Boss House, is host Salman Khan, who became synonymous with the show. It is his popularity on the program that when the host duties were passed on to someone else, the TRPs of the show fell noticeably. Salman Khan is not the first choice to offer Bigg Boss, but do you know that Khan was not the first choice as a host of Bigg Boss? Shah Rukh Khan -Superstar Shah Rukh Khan was first approached for the presentation of the controversial performance. However, he rejected, referring to a medical problem. The unknown fact was shared by Salman Khan during the premiere of Bigg Boss 12. Indian Express quoted Khan and said: “If I take you back, I will choose Shah Rukh Khan. Not much knows that SRK was the original choice for Bigg Boss. Shah Rukh Khan-Salman Khan’s tear once, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan had a notorious fallout. Allegedly, their battle began at Salman Khan’s then girlfriend, actor Katrina Kaif’s birthday base in 2008. Reports claim that both of the Khans ended up in an ugly splash, which became almost violent. It is said that Khan’s wife, Gauri Khan, stepped in before leaving the party. For the next five years, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan remained ‘unfriendly’ until 2013 when they finally reconciled. The Bigg Boss show was first hosted by Arshad Warsi and later took over Amitabh Bachchan. However, it was only after the arrival of Salman Khan that the ratings truly rose. Even when Bigg Boss as the host moved to his OTT version, it could not repeat the success that Salman naturally commanded. Salman Khan’s fees for Bigg Boss 19 Salman Khan, who is one of the highest paid TV stars, reportedly lowered his host fees by £ 100 for Bigg Boss 19. According to a report from Hindustan Times, Salman’s remuneration for the presentation of Bigg Boss 19 saw a great review. Khan, who has long been the face of the reality show, apparently loads almost £ 10 crore a weekend this season. Reportedly, Salman will be on board for about 15 weeks – just in three months after the duration of the show. If these reports are believed, its earnings from Bigg Boss 19 will amount to about £ 150 crore, which is much less than previous seasons. Salman allegedly won about £ 250 crore for Bigg Boss 18 and nearly £ 200 for Bigg Boss 17. Salman is not expected to host the show this time. Once his 15-week run ends, gas anchors are likely to enter, with names like Farah Khan and Karan Johar already circulating as possible replacements. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 19 flows live on Jiohotstar.
