Mohanlal shares about hosting Bigg Boss Malayalam: I have also become one among the housemates, it is an overwhelming experience

Bigg Boss Malayalam 3 contestant Firoz Khan became a sensation after his entry in the ongoing season of the show. Firoz, along with Riyas Salim, entered as a challenger during the BB Court task. From his first sarcastic comment on Aniyan Midhun to his strong judgement in tasks, he was a complete entertainer. Recently, in an exclusive interview with ETimes TV, Firoz Khan shared his first-ever experience of being a challenger in Bigg Boss Malayalam 5. Excerpts.

I had to step out of the game midway. Though I was sad to leave the house, I was happy that I stuck by my standpoint. When I was called to make a reentry to the house as a challenger, I was surprised. Over the seasons, the show has seen many contestants, but only four got the chance to enter as challengers. I feel blessed and proud to be one of them.

During my season, I couldn't leave the house on a happy note. But, this time, when I left, some of them had tears in their eyes. Glad that I could earn love and some bonds.

I was not targeting any contestant. My only aim was to make the show a complete entertainer. So I wanted to trigger everyone who was relaxing there and not making any fruitful contributions. I know that I might have hurt some of them, but I don't regret it, they need to step up.

Entering the show as a gamer is so easy compared to making an entry as a challenger. You have your own limitations but you do enter bearing a lot of expectations. It is tough that you have to provoke some contestants but not too harshly which might affect their game spirit. I am happy that I could live up to the expectation and wake some sleepy heads up.

I am impressed by the way Akhil Marar is playing. But, it is sad that there is not even a single person who can give a tough competition to him. I am curious to know his real spirit, which can only come out if a strong opponent comes. I badly wished he was in our season. We would have had some fiery fights. A win is a win only if you grab it from a strong opponent.

This season lacks the real spice of Bigg Boss. This show is known for its emotions - Sentiments, Violence, Comedy, and Love. Every Bigg Boss season needs a blend of all these. Sadly, this season lacks all that. It feels like the show is revolving around one person and everyone is nodding their head to that. This season had many issues that could have taken it to a whole new level. But, the contestants just don't know how to create content from it. Shame that they have forgotten that the game is all about survival of the fittest.

Undoubtedly, Akhil Marar has already reserved his seat there. Not to mistake that I am his fan. Sadly, he is the only gamer in the season. Sobha and Junaiz are playing well. Vishnu is a true Bigg Boss material, he deserves to be there in the final round. If he has taken my advice well and decided to play well, Rinosh can be seen in the Top 5, or else Reneesha deserves it.
