He told the contestants it was the first time in his hosting career that he had received messages on his phone from viewers. According to Salman, he is opposed to getting former contestants on a new season, but they had to bring in the four wildcard entries since their existing housemates had failed to perform. He said that the contestants were not being honest. According to him, they are clueless and have no chance of winning the trophy.

According to Salman, none of the seven contestants possessed the winning quality for BB 15. Salman pointed out that season 13 had Sidharth Shukla and Asim Riaz who both had the potential to win the show. He did praise Shamita Shetty for showing her real self but also said that she has been restrained as well.

He went on to mention how in season 8, Gautam Gulati had gotten carried away and did something wrong and had been boycotted by the entire house. He eventually won because he was one man against 14 people. 

Then, he took the name of late Sidharth Shukla and described him as a man who stood against everyone. Salman said in a very disappointing tone that there is no one like that this season.

In a recent interview, Salman Khan called out Tejasswi Prakash and Karan Kundra for concentrating on their love story. He called out Karan Kundrra, saying it feels like he's on vacation. It's important to remember that he's here to play the game and he's being compensated for it. 

After the entry of four wild card entries, things seem to have taken a spicy turn, and we are very eager to watch more!
