This announcement marks a significant change for the show, which was previously hosted by Bollywood heavyweights Karan Johar in its inaugural season and Salman Khan in its second.
JioCinema made the official announcement on Instagram, generating excitement among fans. The post read, “🥁Presenting ‘Anil Kapoor’ as the new host for Bigg Boss OTT 3!!!🥁 From reigning on the big screen to now ruling the Bigg Boss house, @anilskapoor is kuch extra khaas!

The caption accompanying the post mirrored the platform’s announcement, highlighting Kapoor’s excitement and readiness to bring his unique flair to the show.
In a statement, Anil Kapoor expressed his enthusiasm for joining the Bigg Boss OTT team. He said, “Bigg Boss OTT and I are a dream team! We’re both young at heart; people often say – jokingly – that I’m reverse ageing, but Bigg Boss is – seriously – timeless. It feels a bit like going back to school, trying something new and exciting.”
Kapoor, known for his versatility and commitment, assured fans that he would bring his signature energy and dedication to the show. “I’ve always approached all my projects with sincerity and a commitment to hard work and I’m going to bring that same energy (times 10!) to Bigg Boss! Unscripted reality has something for everyone – laughter, drama, and surprising twists, and I can’t wait to bring my own flavour to it.”
Bigg Boss OTT, a digital spin-off of the popular Indian reality TV series Bigg Boss, first streamed on Voot. Divya Agarwal won the inaugural season, while YouTuber Elvish Yadav emerged victorious in the second season, making history as the first wild card contestant to win the show.
With Anil Kapoor at the helm, the third season of Bigg Boss OTT promises to deliver even more excitement, drama, and entertainment. Fans can look forward to witnessing Kapoor’s magic and charisma as he navigates the twists and turns of the Bigg Boss house. The show’s new season, streaming exclusively on JioCinema Premium, is expected to bring a fresh and captivating experience for its audience.
