Only one day to go for Bigg Boss 8 and we can barely contain our excitement. We have been giving you exclusive news about the upcoming season of Bigg Boss – from our wishlists to potential contestants to shocking updates to trips down memory lane, we have been reporting to you about all things Bigg Boss.

One of the many USPs of Bigg Boss is obviously its host, Salman Khan. Salman manages to fool around and get serious as and when the situation commands. While he maintains a friendly banter with all the contestants, he doesn’t shy away from calling a spade a spade when he needs to pick someone out for misconduct. But what if we tell you that Salman doesn’t think he should be hosting the show at all?!

According to Salman, he doesn’t have it in him to be an anchor and he thinks that Kapil Sharma would do a better job at hosting Bigg Boss as he is not limited like Salman in anchoring.

That’s right! Salman has been quoted as saying,  “I think, as a host, they should take a stand-up comedian. With someone like me, we can’t go to that comic level. Krushna (Abhishek) or a Kapil (Sharma) can be a lot of fun. They can use their humour to host the show, something they are gifted with. They can be funny with gags, etc”

While we agree Kapil Sharma does a pretty fine job at hosting Comedy Nights With Kapil week after week, we don’t think he can come close to Salman’s screen presence in Bigg Boss.

Salman has hosted some very successful consecutive seasons of Bigg Boss and we don’t see anyone else replacing him just yet. What about you? Do you think Kapil will do a better job at hosting Bigg Boss? Don’t forget to tell us in comments below!
