Andy Kumar's Take on Bigg Boss: Salman Khan's Hosting and the Show's Evolution

Andy Kumar, a multi-talented artist known for his roles in acting, VJing, styling, dancing, and television, reminisced about his time on Bigg Boss 7 and shared his thoughts on the popular reality show and its iconic host, Salman Khan.

Recalling his experience on the show, where he gained considerable attention and popularity, Andy shared, "Bigg Boss is an incredible show and a tough competition. I believe it has evolved significantly since my time on the show. If I were to return, I'd need to start fresh and adapt to today's world, where social media and fan followings play a significant role in determining success or failure. However, I might be one of those who can enter the show without a massive fan base and simply be authentic. Authenticity is an aspect that has perhaps been overlooked. After all, it's a reality show and a test of one's personality. You must be true to yourself, whether the audience agrees or not, and stand by your beliefs. It seems that this authenticity is missing from Bigg Boss nowadays."

Andy also had praise for the show's host, Salman Khan, stating, "Salman Khan is an incredible host, and let's be honest, many people tune in solely for him. There have been speculations lately that he may not wish to continue with the show. Some YouTubers have commented on his seemingly diminished enthusiasm, but there could be various factors at play. People often don't have the full picture of what's happening in someone's life. It's normal to have moments of low energy during various phases of the show. Nevertheless, judging from the remarkable energy he's displaying in the promos, I am confident that he will make a strong comeback this time. As everyone says, he will light up the weekend episodes, so I'm eagerly anticipating that."

Regarding the show's evolution, Andy and many others feel that "Bigg Boss has become a shortcut to success and fame." He further elaborated, saying, "However, it has also become a platform for individuals to discover that they are not universally liked, which can hinder their prospects for success or fame. It's a double-edged sword. If you excel on the show and authentically showcase all facets of your personality without being evicted early, then you might achieve something. But presently, contestants are overly cautious and self-conscious, often failing to be genuine. This is my primary concern regarding participation in the show."

For those considering joining Bigg Boss, Andy offered some advice, saying, "My top tip for anyone contemplating joining the show today would be to consider hiring a public relations professional to manage your public image because it's become essential. Additionally, work on building a dedicated fan following as it can be a significant advantage. Bring some stylish outfits, make a statement since you're on a televised show, and, most importantly, be yourself. Showcase your true self, and you might just emerge victorious in the competition." Andy concluded on this note.
