Salman Khan’s mother has stopped watching Bigg Boss

Bigg Boss launched in India in 2006 and has been keeping fans entertained since then. While the first season was hosted by Arshad Warsi, subsequent seasons were hosted by Shilpa Shetty and Amitabh Bachchan, before Salman Khan took over. Over the years, many feel that the show needs to take a break given its repetitive nature.

While addressing the show and its content at a press meet for Bigg Boss 16, Salman Khan had shared that his mother Salma Khan used to love the show but thinks ‘it’s too much’ now. “She used to watch the show till season 14 and now is hooked to other shows on TV. She watches it only when I am there. Even Hiroo aunty (Hiroo Johar) told me that the violence gets too much,” he shared.
