Anil Kapoor Is The ‘Worst Host Ever’ For Bigg Boss: Reddit Criticizes

Actor Anil Kapoor took over as the host of Bigg Boss OTT’s third season this year, replacing Salman Khan. However, it appears a portion of the Bigg Boss audience has been critical of his performance, with some Reddit users calling for his removal as host.

A Redditor posted, “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 resonated with many social media users who voiced their agreement.

Anil Kapoor Criticized

The Reddit post quickly garnered attention, with several users echoing the sentiments expressed. 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.”

Another user 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! Bigg 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!”

Others chimed in, “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.”

A user shared, “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 user said, “Today was the first time in years of me watching Bigg Boss that I have skipped Weekend Ka Vaar midway because the host and contestants this season are insufferable. Thank god it is ending next week. What a waste.”

Another commented, “Anil Kapoor as a host has made me dislike Anil Kapoor the actor,” with another adding, “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.”

This criticism follows an Ormax report that indicated the third season, with Anil Kapoor as host, attracted more viewers than the previous Bigg Boss OTT 2, which Salman Khan hosted.
