Being cultural

Salman Khan launched the second edition of Bigg Boss OTT recently. The actor-host, who always looks forward to the reality TV show, said it was his first time to host the digital version. "I hope it is not too uncensored and unfiltered. If it is, then I will control it myself. The show should run keeping in mind our culture and that is why I am a part of Bigg Boss OTT," he said.
