Bigg Boss 19 is nearing its conclusion.

However, Salman will not be hosting this Weekend Ka Vaar. Another star is stepping in to replace him: Bollywood filmmaker and Khatron Ke Khiladi host Rohit Shetty.

Rohit Shetty replaces Salman Khan as host for this Weekend Ka Vaar

Neither Farah Khan nor Salman Khan will host this Weekend Ka Vaar of Bigg Boss 19.

On Friday, JioHotstar announced that Rohit Shetty will be replacing Salman Khan as host this Weekend Ka Vaar. Sharing a poster of the filmmaker, the OTT platform wrote, “Iss Weekend Ka Vaar, Rohit Shetty layenge action aur drama ka blockbuster blend” (This Weekend Ka Vaar, Rohit Shetty will bring a blockbuster blend of action and drama). Before Rohit, Farah Khan once filled in for Salman, and audiences loved that Weekend Ka Vaar. It remains to be seen whether Rohit will meet fans’ expectations as host.

This week saw Mridul Tiwari getting evicted in a mid-week elimination after receiving the least votes during a live-audience task. Amaal and Gaurav got into a heated argument after the singer and Farrhana accused Gaurav of playing a ‘character’ in the Bigg Boss house instead of showing his real personality. The argument then shifted to nepotism, where Amaal felt Gaurav tried to mock his struggles.

The latest episode showed Gaurav becoming the captain of the house and nominating everyone this week, which led to angry reactions from Shehbaz Badesha and Amaal. Both accused Bigg Boss of being biased towards Gaurav and called the move unfair. The show is available to watch on JioHotstar at 9 pm and on Colours TV at 10:30 pm.
