The new season will see self-proclaimed godman Aniruddhacharya offering life advice to the contestants on the show. In a recently released promo, he can be seen engaging with Salman and a contestant who’s a politician. The politician says in the promo, “Rajanitik log bahut laalchee hote hai. Aur laalach ye hota hai ki zyaada se zyaada log hume jaane. (Politicians are very greedy. The greed for more people to know us.)”
When asked if he’s married, the politician replies that’s he’s not, pointing out that he’s younger than Salman. The actor jokes that the contestant is too young to get married, to which Aniruddhacharya replies that he’ll find brides for both of them. He even assures Salman, “Main jo launga na, vo bhaagengi nahin (I’ll find a bride who won’t run away),” and the actor jokingly replies, “Humko bhagodi chahiye (I want someone who does)” leaving everyone in splits.
While the promo did not reveal who the contestant is, the profile looks like politician Tajinder Singh Bagga’s. Aniruddhacharya also gifted Salman a Bhagavad Gita while visiting the Bigg Boss house for the premiere.
