As the 18th season of Bigg Boss kicks off tonight, spiritual orator Aniruddhacharya, also known as Pookie Baba, had a fun exchange with host Salman Khan. In a recently released promo, Aniruddhacharya joked that he would find Salman a bride, adding humor to the much-anticipated premiere.

The Bride Who Won’t Run Away

During the interaction, a politician contestant mentioned that he is unmarried and younger than Salman. In response, Salman joked about his bachelor status. Aniruddhacharya then quipped, “Main jo launga na, vo bhaagengi nahin (I’ll find a bride who won’t run away),” to which Salman humorously replied, “Humko bhagodi chahiye (I want someone who does),” leaving the audience in splits.

Aniruddhacharya Blesses Salman and Contestants

Aniruddhacharya will also be offering life advice to the contestants, as seen in another promo. He shared a picture of the Bigg Boss 18 set, gifting Salman a copy of the Bhagavad Gita and blessing the contestants ahead of the season.
