Weekend Ka Vaar is about to look very different this time. Host Salman Khan has confirmed he will skip the coming weekend episode, and filmmaker Rohit Shetty will take charge instead. Here is what viewers of Bigg Boss 20 should know before the change takes effect.
Why the host is missing Bigg Boss 20 this weekend
As reported by The Times of India, the host shared the news during the latest Bigg Boss 20 weekend episode. He then revealed Rohit Shetty as his stand-in, saying he had asked the filmmaker to cover for him. In his own words, “Due to a prior commitment, I will not be here agle hafte.”
He did not explain the reason in detail. However, a report points out that Salman Khan is currently busy shooting the action film Monster alongside Nayanthara. That film could explain the clash, though nothing is official yet. Meanwhile, fans on social media have offered their own guesses, and some link the timing to the house drama.
The timing feels notable because the latest episode carried plenty of tension. Aman Gandhi exited after landing in the bottom three with Mary Kom and Uditi Singh. His exit left Arishfa Khan emotional, and Uditi Singh also looked visibly upset. The host then left the housemates with a teasing remark about their appetite for risk. That seemed like a playful nod to Shetty and his stunt show.
How Rohit Shetty fits into the Weekend Ka Vaar chair
Shetty has stood in for the regular host before. His latest stint came last year on Bigg Boss 19, where he made offers to Gaurav Khanna and Farhana Bhatt. Karan Johar has also stepped in during earlier seasons, including Bigg Boss 16 and Bigg Boss 17.
Shetty has long hosted Khatron Ke Khiladi, so he is used to dealing with strong personalities under pressure. That background could give the weekend a different feel from what viewers usually see. Since contestants are dealing with nominations and shifting alliances, a fresh voice may push the conversations in new directions.
The housemates have given him plenty to work with this week. For instance, several contestants felt Mahhi Vij was too involved in the games of Uditi Singh and Arishfa Khan. Kanika Mann and Arishfa also traded sharp words over everyday household issues. Shetty also has a direct style, which could suit a house where arguments keep spilling into personal territory.
What Bigg Boss 20 fans expect from the new host
Social media reacted soon after the announcement. Several viewers want Shetty to take Mahhi Vij to task, and one user simply wrote, “Rohit sir, bash Mahhi ji.” Such calls are common when a guest host arrives, since viewers often hope for blunter feedback. Others are mostly curious about how Shetty will handle the heated arguments inside the house.
Still, guest hosts have not always won over the crowd. Past fill-ins have drawn mixed responses, as some viewers openly missed the firm presence of the regular host. That makes the task delicate since Shetty must stay firm without copying anyone.
For now, all eyes remain on the Bigg Boss 20 house as the weekend draws closer. Until then, viewers will watch closely to see whether Shetty leans on humour or a sterner tone. Either way, the housemates will know that the next weekend will not follow the usual script. Salman Khan is due back the weekend after, so Shetty gets only one weekend to leave his mark.
