Salman Khan, the Lone Viewers-attracting Factor in 'Bigg Boss 8', say His Fans

Salman Khan is unlikely to renew his contract with "Bigg Boss" for the next season and there are already signs of the Hindi reality show losing a big chunk of viewership.

The "Dabangg" actor-hosted "Bigg Boss 8" show has not hit the bull's eye in terms of TRPs this season. Even his weekend episodes draw lesser audience compared to previous seasons. Added to that, the actor is accused of being biased towards some contestants and this has irked a section of audience who has shared their displeasure on social media websites.

However, Salman Khan's fans have taken strong exception to people's comment on his credibility and his popularity and have shot back saying that the actor is the lone factor getting TRPs for the show. Without him, it is quite impossible for the show to have such a large reach across the nation and a few foreign countries.

Critics say that "Bigg Boss 8" has been lacking the usual masala and is getting boring. Only in the last week there has been some drama in the house due to some controversies. This factor, on the other end, had made people debate whether Salman Khan's show is losing its charm.

Read some of the supportive tweets posted by Salman Khan's fans on Twitter.
