Salman Khan too busy to host Bigg Boss 5

The demand for Salman Khan has never been so high. Following the back-to-back successes of Dabangg and Ready which are among the all-time blockbusters in Bollywood history, producers have been queuing up to sign Salman, but he’s so hard-pressed for time that he has to turn down a lot of offers.

The latest, we hear, is that Salman Khan has expressed his inability to host the fifth season of the telly show ‘Bigg Boss’ because he’s too much wound up in film commitments. Salman was the host of Bigg Boss 4 last year and his presence helped the show score good telly ratings.

But a slew of Bollywood projects in Salman’s kitty make it almost impossible for him to squeeze out time for ‘Bigg Boss 5’. Here’s a quick lowdown: Salman is busy with films like Bodyguard with Kareena Kapoor and Ek Tha Tiger with Katrina Kaif. After that he will commit to good friend Sajid Nadiadwala’s film Kick, brother Sohail Khan’s Sher Khan and, of course, Dabangg 2.

So Salman has reportedly told Colors, the channel that airs Bigg Boss, that he won’t be able to host Bigg Boss 5 this year. Not just that, he is reported to have recommended Sanjay Dutt as the new host.

However, the channel has yet not signed Dutt on to host the show.

We ask you...can Sanjay Dutt be a better host than Salman Khan, if not as good?
