Overview

  • In new interviews, Grover argued that Indian reality shows overly elevate superstar weekend hosts, saying contestants put in the real 24x7 work.
  • He remarked that a host should watch episodes personally rather than rely on summaries, a comment widely read as a hint at Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 19.
  • Grover said television is not his primary revenue stream, claiming his business earnings from two unicorns, including BharatPe, far exceed TV income.
  • Now hosting Rise & Fall, he is fronting a Rulers-versus-Workers format that launched in early September on Amazon MX Player with a celebrity lineup.
  • He welcomed direct comparisons with Bigg Boss, calling it a free market and saying his show will not shy away from being measured against incumbents.
