In my earlier post I had told that Salman Khan was not a good host of a show like Bigg Boss.
Now in this post I would like to apologise to him personally. I would like to say that he is not only a good host but he is an almost perfect host.
It is okay, we cannot get a truly "100% perfect" host.
The fact is that hosting a show like Bigg Boss would require a lot of 'interest' to be shown by the host. And this interest has to be both personal and professional. I feel Salman Khan takes 'personal interest' in the contestants and that is what matters.
In a country like India we need a 'host with a mass audience' and 'mass popularity' to pull in the viewers and make the show popular. I feel Salman Khan is able to achieve that.
His popularity in Indian subcontinent and beyond is very high and that is the reason he could 'bounce back' in his career.
Also, a show like Kaun Banega Karodpati also requires a 'mass popularity' host like Amitabh Bachan. Someone like Siddharth Basu the quiz master can host the show but it would not become popular with the masses and remain an 'elite show'.
Abroad, in Europe and US or other developed countries a show like Bigg Boss can operate 'without any hosts' or without any 'popular hosts' but in India it would just not work. It would just not be popular.
I feel this kind of 'big celebrities and stars' hosting shows on TV is a recent phenomena. I did not use to watch Indian TV programs enough and thus I was not able to comment properly.
Like I had told I did not watch any season of Indian Bigg Boss upto this years i.e. the Seventh Season.
And since it just completed 3rd week, I have seen Salman weekend shows for 6 episodes only and the overall picture of Salman Khan was blurred for me earlier and now it is getting more and more clearer.
I had watched a few big Indian award shows being hosted by top actors of the film industry.
