Quotes
Sourav Ganguly
Former Indian cricketer and television host
“Bigg Boss is the biggest show in the country and has always stood apart because of the scale of its audience and the way the franchise has travelled across languages. I have done many shows on TV but never hosted this, so joining Endemol Shine India for the first time and leading its Bengali edition with Bigg Boss Bangla, after ten years is a wonderful new experience.”
