Hosted by Salman Khan, the thirteenth season of the popular reality show Bigg Boss, that thrives on controversies and chaos, is just two days away from its air date and just like every year, we can't contain our excitement! Recently, Salman made an impressive grand press launch of the new season of Bigg Boss on a metro station, in the city (Mumbai) on Monday (September 23) just before its premiere date (September 29). After a flop season 12, the makers decided to only feature celebrity contestants in Bigg Boss 13. Now that only celebs would get locked in the house for 15 weeks, we wonder if 'not having commoners in the show' concept will affect the popularity of the series. Bigg Boss 13: Salman Khan Launches the Reality Show on a Metro Station Amid Much Fanfare (View Pics)

Talking about it, Salman, during an interview with Indian Express, said, "I will treat these celebrities like common people only. I will have the same connect." And when asked if the audience will miss the relatability factor, the Dabangg actor added, "I don’t know. But that aam aadmi connect is really strong. Let’s see. I am sure Colors will figure out something." Bigg Boss 13: From Shilpa Shinde to Manveer Gurjar, Taking a Look at the Least Deserving Winners From Salman Khan’s Reality Show

Speaking of whether the makers faced any difficulty finding the right contestants for this season to work, Salman said, "At the end of the day, I have to handle them. I hope this time, the makers will go for chilled out people. While they would be all celebrities, it all depends on what kind of temperament do they have." Bigg Boss 13 Contestants: Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Sidharth Shukla, Koena Mitra and Other Celebrities Who May Enter the House This Season
