Bigg Boss 19: Rohit Shetty's Hosting Skills Divide Fans, Calls for Salman Khan's Return (2026)

Here’s the truth everyone’s arguing about: Bigg Boss 19 fans are convinced that no one—absolutely no one—can fill Salman Khan’s shoes. And after this weekend’s episode, the debate has exploded online. But here’s where it gets even more interesting… the reactions aren’t just mixed—they’re intense.

Rohit Shetty stepped in as the Weekend Ka Vaar host while Salman was tied up with his Dabangg Tour. Although Rohit has successfully hosted shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi and even earlier seasons of Bigg Boss, this latest appearance left viewers divided—and in many cases, deeply disappointed. The internet is buzzing with comments claiming that while Rohit is entertaining, Salman brings an unmatched authority and presence that keeps the housemates in line.

What actually went down on Weekend Ka Vaar

This episode saw Rohit addressing the weekly chaos inside the house, but instead of handing out stern warnings (the kind Salman is famous for), he approached the situations with humour and a more relaxed tone. For some viewers, this was refreshing. But for others, it felt way too soft.

One major moment was when Rohit called out Gaurav for being ‘fake.’ Just as things were heating up, Amaal jumped in, arguing mid-conversation, even getting up from his seat in anger. Shockingly, the contestants kept bickering among themselves even while the host was standing right there. This is exactly what sparked the biggest complaints online—because, as fans say, “This would NEVER happen in front of Salman.”

Audience Reactions: The controversy everyone is talking about

Many viewers defended Rohit, appreciating that he wasn’t biased. But others didn’t hold back. One viewer complained:

“This WKV was so boring I had to skip parts. Amaal wouldn’t have dared to charge at GK like that if Salman were hosting.”

Another boldly said:

“The aura Salman has—nobody can match it. Contestants genuinely respect him. With Rohit or others, they literally misbehave.”

A third viewer even joked:

“This wasn’t Weekend Ka Vaar… it was Weekend ka scar. That’s how bad it was!”

Criticism continued pouring in:
- “The more others host, the more obvious it is that Salman is the best.”
- “Bring Bhaijaan back!”
- “They would never speak like this in front of Salman Khan.”

These strong opinions raise a bigger question: Is Bigg Boss even Bigg Boss without Salman’s command over the house? Some fans feel the entire atmosphere shifts when he’s missing—and not for the better.

Family Week Begins

After announcing that there would be no eviction this week, Rohit also kicked off the much-anticipated Family Week. Kunickaa Sadanand’s son, Ayaan Lall, was the first family member to enter the house. His arrival brought tears, laughter, and emotional moments—adding a warm contrast to the chaos of earlier episodes.

You can catch Bigg Boss 19 on JioHotstar at 9 PM and on Colors TV at 10:30 PM.


Your Turn: What do YOU think?

Do you agree with the fans who believe only Salman Khan can control the housemates? Or do you think Rohit deserves more credit—and maybe even a chance to settle into the role?

Is this a case of fans resisting change, or is Salman’s impact truly irreplaceable?

Drop your thoughts in the comments — this debate is far from over.
