So, Salman Khan is stepping into Amitabh Bachchan’s shoes as the host of Bigg Boss. But Bollywood’s big eccentric kept the laughter coming as he took digs at himself, punning non-stop on his brief jail time, joking about how, for a change, he was on the ‘outside’ this time. Asked if he knew who the inmates of the Bigg Boss house were this time, he smirked, “Oh, I know a lot of inmates.” Then, pointing out the difference between Bachchan and him, he said, “Well, Mr Bachchan has a lot of dignity… and I have none.” What’s more, the star shrugs off the irony that while he’s always kept his life hidden from prying eyes, now he’s hosting a show that keeps nothing under wraps. “Well, as long it’s not my private life, it’s okay,” he says with his bad boy grin.
