Salman and Sanju is the leader of the New Big Boss Season

It was an entertaining press conference at Mehboob Studio in Bandra earlier this evening that kicked off Bigg Boss Season 5 with Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt at their playful best on stage. It more than made up for the delay in the conference that was attributed to Sanjay’s makeup. Interesting. But the media greeted Salman and Sanjay with a thunderous applause once they took centre stage and their shenanigans began.

When the CEO of Colors addressed Sanjay as ‘Baba’ and Salman as ‘Bhai’ – Salman interjected and looked at Sanjay and said, “You are four years older than me and I’m Bhai and you’re Baba! How did you manage this Baba? You started calling me Bhaijaan and now I am jagat bhaijaan!” The easy camaraderie between the two hosts is sure to double the ratings of the show.

There were many more hilarious moments during the conference; the one that really stood out was when Sanjay asked Salman for how many crores would he consider going inside the Bigg Boss house. Salman in his nonchalant way quipped, “Hum dono to free mein bandh ho jaate hain!” Both of them laughed at their own jokes, which made a mockery of their own lives more than anyone elses. Sanjay also asked who should be put in the house – Mike Tyson or Shakira – and everyone said both, to which he said, “Itna budget nahi hai bhai!” It is an obvious hint that either of the two international stars could be on the show.
