Shilpa Shinde, the actress from ‘Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai!’, recently discussed whether she is enjoying the current season of ‘BB OTT’ and how she feels about Salman Khan’s absence. Recently, actress Shilpa Shinde takes a dig at Bigg Boss OTT 3’s host-actor Anil Kapoor.

According to News18, Shilpa was in Mumbai when she was asked if she enjoyed the ongoing reality show Bigg Boss OTT 3. In response, the actress made a startling assertion while mocking Anil Kapoor, the host of this season. For those who don’t know, Salman Khan hosted Bigg Boss OTT after Karan Johar did so during the first season. But Anil Kapoor again took over hosting responsibilities from Salman in the third season. 

Shilpa responded to the question by saying that watching the show without Salman Khan isn’t fun. She revealed, “Host nahi hai toh mazaa nahi hai.” Further, taking a dig at Anil Kapoor,  She was heard explaining how Anil’s charm may be seen in many other events, but Salman’s absence from Bigg Boss is unacceptable. She added: “Jhakaas walo ke apne jagah alag hai. Baaki, Bigg Boss bole toh bhai bhai.”

Anil Kapoor once revealed about replacing Salman Khan in Bigg Boss OTT 3

For those who don’t know, Anil Kapoor and Salman starred together in films including Yuvvraaj, Race 3, Biwi No. 1, and No Entry. Anil was frequently asked about his thoughts on taking over Salman’s role as host of the reality show when he made an appearance as a host on season three of Bigg Boss OTT. Thus, Anil discussed the same thing and said that Salman is unique at the Bigg Boss OTT 3 press conference. He continued, saying:

“He is irreplaceable and so am I. Everyone’s asking this question but it is very wrong. Nobody can replace Salman Khan. Similarly, nobody can replace Anil Kapoor. I spoke to him about it and he was excited that I’ve now taken over a non-fiction show. I wanted to do something different for a long time now. I’ve done many movies, judged shows but have never done anything like ‘Bigg Boss’, so I’m very excited for it.”

Anil Kapoor clarified his position on being replaced in projects in showbiz

Anil spoke more about the same topic in the same conversation, although he was also replaced in his films. It’s okay to be replaced as long as work gets done, Anil continued. The two actors are supportive of one another, Anil continued, adding the following:

“We are all well-wishers of each other. Sometimes I replace him, sometimes he replaces me. But, this word (replace) is wrong. Everyone will have work. Sometimes it doesn’t work out due to time or dates. Recently, I was replaced in two places in films. Now, I don’t know. But these things happen. We are just doing our jobs with sincerity and honesty. That’s what life is.”
