Riteish Deshmukh on Hosting Pressures and His Unprepared Approach
At the recent announcement event for the show, Riteish Deshmukh made a candid admission: he has not prepared anything specific for the upcoming season. Speaking to India Today, the actor elaborated on his spontaneous hosting philosophy. He expressed his admiration for the distinct identity of 'Bigg Boss Marathi' and shared that his inaugural experience last year was a learning curve.
"This year, I am hoping for exciting contestants to come on the show," Deshmukh said. "I have not done any preparations. I'm a reactive personality, so based on the actions, I will have reactions." He positioned himself as a member of the audience, vowing not to take any situations within the house personally.
However, the actor did not shy away from acknowledging the significant responsibility and pressure that comes with helming such a popular show. "I am aware of everything that goes on outside," he stated, highlighting the modern viewership landscape. "Nowadays, the show just doesn't have viewers on TV but also on social media, who have their opinions. So their opinions have to be judged and analyzed. They judge the host’s actions, too, so being a host for this show comes with its pressures." Despite this, Deshmukh promised to navigate the chaos with a calm and composed attitude.
