Sidharth Shukla to co-host the upcoming season of Bigg Boss with Salman Khan?

Sidharth Shukla was already a popular name on Indian television before he entered the glass-walled house of Bigg Boss 13. However, nobody can deny the fact that his popularity and fanbase have seen a meteoric rise after he walked away with the winning trophy and prize money of Bigg Boss 13.

Looks like Colors wants to cash on his great popularity among fans in India and abroad and hence, the channel has approached the star to co-host Bigg Boss 14 with none other than superstar Salman Khan. Yes, you heard that right!


“Sidharth has come a long way since his stint in the Bigg Boss 13 house. Fans continue to shower him with a lot of love after the show’s conclusion too. In fact, one cannot deny the fact that the number of his followers have increased in the past few months. Keeping his popularity in mind, the makers have decided to rope him for Bigg Boss 14 too. However, this time not as a participant but for a special segment,” a source close to the development informs a publication.

The source goes on to add, “Sidharth’s role in the show will be associated with this season’s theme – Karara Jawab. He will be monitoring the contestants from outside and will give his comments, opinions on their performance inside the house. The makers are still discussing the format with the actor and once everything gets finalised, they will announce it soon.”

Bigg Boss 14 is scheduled to hit the airwaves on Saturday 3rd October on Colors. If reports are to be believed, the makers have roped in a number of popular names from the film and television industry.

Laura Dern reunites with Mike White as 'The White Lotus' recasts after Helena Bonham Carter’s exit

Highlights

  • Laura Dern has joined season four of The White Lotus
  • She replaces Helena Bonham Carter after her exit over creative differences
  • The new season is being filmed in southern France during the Cannes Film Festival
  • Dern previously collaborated with creator Mike White on Enlightened

Laura Dern steps into one of television’s biggest dramas

Just days after Helena Bonham Carter made an abrupt exit from The White Lotus, HBO has moved quickly by bringing in a familiar face for creator Mike White. Laura Dern has officially joined the fourth season of the Emmy-winning series, which is already filming in southern France. While Bonham Carter’s departure sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes, Dern’s arrival shifts the focus back to the show itself and adds another major name to one of television’s most closely watched franchises.

Why Laura Dern feels like more than a replacement

Dern’s casting stands out because this is not her first collaboration with White. The pair first worked together on Year of the Dog before reuniting for HBO’s Enlightened, which they co-created and which earned Dern a Golden Globe. That history makes her casting feel less like a quick fix following Bonham Carter’s departure and more like White turning to a long-time creative partner he trusts. Dern also brings considerable star power, having won an Academy Award for Marriage Story and starred in projects such as Jurassic Park, Wild and Big Little Lies.
