The journey of Bigg Boss 19 has officially kicked off with Salman Khan returning to hosting duties and introducing the contestants through a glitzy premiere episode on Sunday. And things got a bit personal for him as he got candid about his love life during a conversation with contestant Tanya Mittal.
Salman gets personal on Bigg Boss 19 premiere
During the Bigg Boss 19 premiere episode, Salman introduced content creator and entrepreneur Tanya Mittal as one of the contestants. Following her introduction, Zeishan Quadri, who started his career as the screenwriter of the cult hit Gangs of Wasseypur, was introduced to Tanya by Salman.
At that moment, Salman asked Tanya if she had seen the film Gangs of Wasseypur, to which she replied that she hadn’t. Curious, Salman then asked her what type of content she enjoys watching. Tanya mentioned that she had watched Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo.
During the conversation, Tanya then questioned Salman, "Sir, sacha pyaar humesha adhura rehta hai kya? (Sir, does true love always remain incomplete?)."
To which, Salman responded, “Sacha pyaar, I don't know...kyunki abhi tak hua hi nahi. Na sacha pyar hua hai, na kuch adhura raha hai (True love? I don't know… because it hasn’t happened to me yet. There hasn’t been true love, nor anything that remains incomplete)."
