The ninth season of Indian television’s biggest reality show Bigg Boss, will go on air starting October 11th. But here are some pictures from the press conference held on Monday, to officially launch the new season, sprinkled with Salman’s cute antics of course, and a lot of fun.
Salman introduced the audience and the media to Bigg Boss 9‘s tricky new theme ‘Double Trouble’ and also staged a courtroom scene with some of the show’s ex-contestants including Puneet Issar, Pritam Singh, Urvashi Dholakia and Ali Quli Mirza among others.
Salman revealed at the launch event, that he tends to get deeply involved with every contestant on the show, and that all of them are like family to him.
Reflecting upon previous seasons, Salman also confessed that initially he wasn’t ready for the new ‘Double Trouble’ theme, because he felt that it would create more controversies. And Salman for sure, doesn’t need any more, right!
The airing of Bigg Boss 9 happens to coincide with Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday. Salman said that this was their (show’s) way of wishing the legendary actor.
Salman was asked if his former girlfriend Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be promoting her comeback film Jazbaa on his show and the actor replied in his signature style with some sarcasm and a song. He said “kya jazbaati sawal poocha hai aapne” and then hummed a few lines of Aate Jaate Jo Milta Hai, Tum Sa Lagta Hai.
Salman also told reporters at the event that his family is a huge fan of Bigg Boss. In fact, his mother Salma Khan and Karan Johar’s mum Hiroo Johar, never fail to miss any episode of the show.
