'Bigg Boss' game show is not scripted, claims Salman

Countering speculations that the immensely popular reality show "Bigg Boss" is scripted, its anchor Salman Khan says it's not scripted, and is completely real.

"Tasks are given to the contestants, but there is nothing on what they have to say (while inside). There is no script. It's completely real", the showman said.

"Actors (contestants) do it themselves - it's exactly what happens - some people know how to play the game, some don't know...so, it's a combination. Everyone knows one person will be evicted, so obviously it has to be the best one. Only once you get into the situation, you will understand", he added.

The Indian adaptation of international show "Celebrity Big Brother", the show features celebrities from different fields congregating under one roof, without any frills or connect with the outside world, and under constant prying of multiple cameras for three months. It features a lot of emotional highs and lows.

The eighth season of the show is set to air on Colors from Sep 21.
