Earlier in an interview, Arshad had praised Salman Khan's hosting and called him the perfect host for the show. In an interview with Amar Ujala, Arshad had said, "I could not do the next season as I had gone to London for a shoot. But I do believe Salman Khan is the best shot the show could have. No one could have done that job better than Salman. The reality show needs a 'Dabangg' like Salman."
