“‘Bigg Boss OTT’ will undeniably have a lot more sensational and dramatic (content). I hope I can live up to the audience’s and my friends’ expectations, make Weekend Ka Vaar [Weekend attack] with the contestants an enjoyable affair in my own style and up the ante on the entertainment quotient. Wait for it!”
