from
the
show’s
launch.
Anil
Kapoor
makes
a
dhamakedaar
entry:
At
the
event,
Bigg
Boss
17
winner
Munawar
Faruqui
quizzed
Kapoor
about
the
inevitable
comparisons
with
Khan.
“Everyone
is
asking
this
question
but
it
is
very
wrong.
No
one
can
replace
Salman
Khan,”
said
Kapoor.
After
a
pause,
he
added,
“Nobody
can
replace
Anil
Kapoor
either.”
Calling
Khan
his
younger
brother
and
friend,
Kapoor
said
that
actors
often
get
replaced
due
to
various
reasons.
“Everyone
has
work.
Sometimes,
for
some
reason,
one
cannot
do
a
certain
project
or
does
not
have
time
to
do
it.
Many
people
have
replaced
me,
I
have
also
replaced
people.
We
are
just
doing
a
job.
We
should
do
it
with
a
lot
of
sincerity
and
honesty.
Things
like
this
happen.”
“Everyone
in
my
family
is
very
excited
about
it,”
he
says.
He
shares
who
he’s
taken
inspiration
from
to
host
the
show.
Just
why
was
Anil
Kapoor
roped
in
for
the
show
instead
of
Salman
Khan?
Here’s
the
real
answer:
“I
wanted
to
do
something
different
for
a
long
time
now.
I
have
done
many
movies,
judged
shows
but
have
never
done
something
like
Bigg
Boss.
I
am
very
excited
about
it.”
AK
shares
how
he
will
solve
the
fights
in
the
reality
show.
Who
would
he
like
to
share
the
Bigg
Boss
house
with?
“Salman
Khan,
Karan
Johar,
Kapil
Sharma
and
I
should
go
in
the
house,”
he
said,
adding,
“And
do
you
know
who
should
host
the
show
when
we
are
inside
the
house?
It
should
be
Amitji
(Amitabh
Bachchan).
It
would
be
very
exciting.”
At
the
launch
event,
Kapoor
was
asked
who
from
his
family
would
be
the
perfect
choice
as
a
participant
for
a
show
like
Bigg
Boss.
He
said,
“I
would
say
I
am
the
best
for
this.
Actually,
the
30-year-old
Anil
Kapoor
would
be
the
best.”
“There
was
a
movie
that
I
did
called
AK
vs
AK
and
I
had
to
think
a
lot
before
accepting
it.
My
image
was
at
stake.
But
I
decided
to
do
it
and
it
turned
out
to
be
a
success.
During
that
time,
the
director
(Vikramaditya
Motwane)
even
asked
me
if
he
could
have
Rhea,
Sonam,
my
wife
and
Harsh
in
the
film.
“I
asked
him
to
speak
to
them
as
they
are
strong
enough
to
make
their
own
decisions.
Similarly,
you
can
ask
them
if
they
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
Bigg
Boss.”
