While exclusively speaking to indianexpress.com, Manjrekar said, “I was actually quite eager. There was recently a buzz that the makers were planning to get a new host. While I was keen to come back, I would have been okay if they thought there was someone better to do the job. Honestly, I love Bigg Boss Marathi. I act because it pays me well but I don’t really like it. But this show is something I really enjoy and have fun doing it.”
The list of contestants who will appear in the show is not yet out. 15 celebrities will be locked up in a palatial house for 100 days, with multiple cameras recording them 24×7. The first season of the show was won by Megha Dhade.
