Riteish Deshmukh Unveils His Game Plan for Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6
Ahead of the highly anticipated premiere of Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6, host Riteish Deshmukh has pulled back the curtain on his strategy for the new season. The actor, who is returning to the hot seat, shared his insights and the pressures that come with the role at a recent press conference. The new season is scheduled to begin on January 11 and will be broadcast on Colors Marathi while streaming live on JioHotstar.
Embracing a Reactive Hosting Style
Riteish Deshmukh, reflecting on his journey, highlighted the unique identity of the Marathi version of the blockbuster reality show. "I like how Bigg Boss Marathi has a distinct identity," he stated. Having made his hosting debut last season, the actor is entering the new edition with evolved expectations. "This year, I am hoping exciting contestants come on the show," he added.
Deshmukh revealed that he relies on a spontaneous, reactive style rather than extensive pre-planning. "I have not done any preparations. I am a reactive personality, so based on the actions, I will have reactions," he explained. While he considers himself part of the audience, he maintains a professional distance. "I am also an audience for the show, but I make sure not to personally react to situations." He also issued a subtle warning to potential contestants, noting that the show's creative team is always a step ahead. "People often go inside the show thinking about doing what will get them noticed, but the creative team is the smartest, so they have a counter for all strategies."
Navigating the Pressures of the Host's Chair
The actor did not shy away from discussing the significant responsibilities and scrutiny that accompany his role. "I usually try to guide the contestants, give corrective measures. I am aware of everything that goes on outside," Riteish said. He emphasized that the show's audience has expanded far beyond television. "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 analysed."
This constant analysis from a digital-savvy audience adds a distinct layer of pressure. "They judge the host’s actions, too, so being a host for this show comes with its pressures," he admitted. To navigate this complex landscape, Deshmukh disclosed that he actively collaborates with the creative team to gauge public sentiment. He often asks them to monitor questions and reactions to various situations before deciding which topics to address on the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes.
For the upcoming season, the host plans to adopt a more measured tone when dealing with intense moments. He shared that his approach this year will be calmer, aiming to handle conflicts and high-voltage drama with greater composure. This shift indicates a more seasoned host who is adapting his style based on past experience and the evolving dynamics of reality television.
As the premiere date draws near, fans are eager to see how Riteish Deshmukh's refined hosting strategy will shape the narrative of Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6. His blend of reactive spontaneity, guided mentorship, and a new-found calm promises to make this season a compelling watch.
