The Reddit post said, “Hope this is the last we saw Anil Kapoor as a host in weekend ka vaar. Fake laugh, fake anger, total fake personality as a host”, which saw several social media users coming forward to express their support.
As soon as the Reddit post went live, several social media users came forward to express their view in tandem with the remarks on the post. One user commented, “Hahaha fake anger on point … find it really funny also elvish was trying way too hard to control his laugh when he was getting scolded by anil Kapoor”.
One wrote, "I walked out the second I heard the nervous stupid giggle coming out of his mouth! He never had any real personality except in the characters he portrayed in films! His questions, his mannerisms, his body language are pathetic and cringy to watch! Please stop AK! Big boss voice is enough at this point. The show the contestants are an absolute disgrace to watch and now the host too! The end of bb as I see it!”.
There was another who wrote, “The producers should definitely reconsider having him as the host for this show again. The ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episodes felt more like a comedy circus."
“I have never followed the ott bb so wasn't in a position to give opinions on the seasons, but this time it felt like a s**t show even without watching it. I mean the kind of crowd they brought this time,” one shared.
One user exclaimed, “Today was the first time in years of me watching Bigg Boss that I have skipped Weekend Ka War midway because the host and contestants this season are insufferable. Thank god it is ending next week. What a waste”.
One user called him “worst host ever”, with another writing, “MAKE HIM STOP”. “Yes, I have had enough of him already,” shared another.
There was one social media user who termed the weekend episodes as “Weekend ka atyachar .. for bb audience”.
“Anil Kapoor as a host has made me dislike Anil Kapoor the actor,” shared one, with another user writing, “Anil Kapoor as an actor is a genius. If you have only watched his mainstream cinema then you wouldn’t know. He’s awkward as a host and I disliked him on BB. But side actor? I am appalled”.
Interestingly, despite the backlash, a recent Ormax report indicated that the third season of "Bigg Boss OTT" with Kapoor as host attracted more viewers compared to the previous season hosted by Salman Khan. This suggests that while some viewers are unhappy with Kapoor’s performance, the show has managed to engage a substantial audience.
Salman Khan’s absence from the third season was attributed to his focus on his upcoming film "Sikandar," directed by AR Murugadoss. This project required his full attention, prompting Kapoor to step in as host for the season.
"Bigg Boss OTT 3" premiered on JioCinema on June 21. The current season features a diverse cast including Ranvir Shorey, Lovekesh Kataria, Sana Sultan, Sana Makbul, Sai Ketan Rao, Shivani Kumari, Vishal Pandey, Naezy, Armaan Malik, and Kritika Malik. The show has continued to attract viewers, despite the mixed reactions to Kapoor’s hosting.
Beyond his role as host, Anil Kapoor is preparing for his upcoming film "Subedaar," which will be his first collaboration with director Suresh Triveni. Kapoor has already begun work on this project, which marks a new chapter in his career. Additionally, he is rumored to join the YRF Spy Universe and will appear in "War 2," "Alpha," and "Pathaan 2," where he is expected to play the head of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW). Kapoor’s involvement in these high-profile projects underscores his continued prominence in the film industry, even as his role in "Bigg Boss OTT" garners mixed reviews.
