Salman Khan was speaking at the Bigg Boss 9 announcement, when he was asked whether ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will promote her upcoming film Jazbaa on the controversial reality show Bigg Boss hosted by him. Salman quipped, “Jazbaati sawal...kar diya” (you have asked an emotional question). The actor said, “This had to be the last question before the PR takes away the mike. Claps for this question. Jazbaati sawal...kar diya (Emotional question was asked).”

There have been reports that Aishwarya might come on Bigg Boss to promote her next opposite Irrfan Khan.

Speaking at the launch, Colors TV CEO Raj Nayak shared his experience while scripting the theme of the new show: “My trouble started in April when my wife, daughter and even my driver started to ask me whether Salman will be hosting the show this time as well. But the actual trouble began when we started to approach Salman.”

Nayak further said that the aim of the forthcoming season is “to make it more engaging” keeping the entertainment and fun in family zone. Nayak highlighted the importance of this show by noting that the show has helped many celebrities in starting their new professional innings.

Salman Khan, who was talking to reporters at the press conference of Bigg Boss, later also sang a song Aate Jaate Jo Milta Hai Tumsa Lagta Hai.”
