Bigg Boss is the highest-rated television show in Malayalam. The seventh season of the show, hosted by Mohanlal, ended recently. Bigg Boss is also broadcast in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and Bengali. In these languages, the show is hosted by major superstars like Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Vijay Sethupathi, Kamal Haasan and Nagarjuna. Now, comments made by Mohanlal about Bigg Boss during a programme featuring Nagarjuna and Vijay Sethupathi have gone viral among fans.
Mohanlal revealed that many people have asked him why he continues to host a show like Bigg Boss. He said some people have a wrong impression about the programme. “I have successfully completed seven seasons of Bigg Boss in Malayalam. Bigg Boss is the highest-rated television show in Malayalam. Many may wonder why Bigg Boss always stays at the top in ratings. Bigg Boss is not a drama. It is a show that spreads positive thinking," Mohanlal said.
“Bigg Boss receives many types of opinions and criticism. I have proved that it is a show meant for both entertainment and thought. People from various spheres of life come together in Bigg Boss. I am lucky to be part of it. At first, I was hesitant to do Bigg Boss. Now, it feels like an addiction to me. The first thanks should go to the viewers. Some people ask me if I have no other work than Bigg Boss. But I have learned many things from the show. Some say the show is scripted. But that is not true. Taking part in Bigg Boss is not an easy task,” Mohanlal added.
