Anil Kapoor On Being Trolled For Replacing Salman Khan In Bigg Boss OTT 3: "It Is A Part Of Life Now"

"It is part of social media. You have to face it," Anil Kapoor said

Bigg Boss OTT fans are super excited. Reason? The makers have announced the premiere date, June 21. This season will see Anil Kapoor as the new host. He has replaced the OG, Salman Khan. On Tuesday, the makers hosted a special press conference in Mumbai. During the media interaction, the veteran actor was asked to share his reaction to the trolls comparing him with Salman Khan. To this, Anil Kapoor replied, “Koi farak nahi padta hai. [It does not matter.] Trolling is a part of life now. It is part of social media. You have to face it.”

About a week ago, the makers of Bigg Boss OTT 3 dropped a video on Instagram to reveal their new host. In the clip, Anil Kapoor can be heard saying, “Sab ne pucha ab kya hu baaki hai AK. Maine pucha kya-kya baaki hai AK. Bhla, bura, khara, khota, paani, aag gaali, taali, sab dekha, sab suna. Ab meri baari. Rule naya, game wahi. Ladenge, bhidenge, chidenge, tikenge, pta ni. Thoda logic, thoda magic. [Everyone asked, ‘What is left now, AK?' I asked, ‘What all is left, AK?' The good, the bad, the pure, the impure, water, fire, curses, applause – I've seen it all, I've heard it all. Now it's my turn. New rules but the game remains the same. They will fight, clash, tease, endure – who knows? A bit of logic, a bit of magic.]”
