Salman Khan welcomes Sajid Khan to Bigg Boss 16

Salman welcomed Sajid Khan on stage, while he expressed disbelief at his participation. The Housefull director said that he has been out of work for the past four years, so when he got the opportunity to do Bigg Boss 16, he took it up. Sajid expressed that there have been many highs and lows in his life. He further went on to recount that while success made him arrogant, his movies like Himmatwala and Humshakals did not work. Sajid continued that he was working on the script for Housefull 4, but he was removed from the film and the credits were taken away from him. 

Sajid Khan, who will be seen as a contestant in Bigg Boss 16, opened his heart out and said that he wants to be a 'nicer' and 'humbler' person and that he wants to erase all his previous interviews. When Salman talked about Sajid being single, the latter replied that he does not want a wife but would be happy if Bigg Boss gave him a television, as he can’t live without one. 

Meanwhile, apart from Sajid Khan, other contestants of Bigg Boss 16 are Tina Datta, Shalin Bhanot, Gautam Singh Vig, Sumbul Touqeer Khan, Shiv Thakare, Manya Singh, Soundarya Sharma, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Abdu Rozik, Archana Gautam, Ankit Gupta, Sreejita De, Gori Nagori and rapper MC Stan.
