"There is not even one per cent of acting in 'Bigg Boss' that I do. I am being Salman Khan...Son of Salim Khan...Brother of Sohail, Arbaaz, Arpita and Alvira. I put my experiences or of my family or friends to them (contestants)," Salman told reporters here at the press conference of "Bigg Boss".
Salman said that his mother and Karan Johar's mother Hiroo Johar do watch the show and give him feedback.
"They watch the show and feel what the contestants are doing. It is not good to watch it. I feel one should be in limit and shouldn't cross the line," he said.
There have been reports that Salman would not be hosting the ninth season of "Bigg Boss", but he is back as a host of the controversial show.
"After three months I get exhausted but then I have a long association with the team. There are educated people ....Celebrities on the show either they do things in dramatic or subtle way," he said.
There is a buzz that couples might be part of the show. To which Raj Natal, CEO of Colors Channel says, "You will get to see all kind of characters in the film."
Interestingly, the show is going on air from October 11, the birthday of megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
"It's a coincidence...But we will take credit for it. It is our way of saying Happy Birthday," Salman said.
