Previously, he had participated in BB Marathi 2.
'Gadar 2' promotions
Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel graced the 'BB' stage
Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel—who are currently gearing up for the release of Gadar 2—also graced the Bigg Boss stage to promote their upcoming film. It's a sequel to their action-drama film Gadar and is heading toward release on August 11. While Patel recreated a moment from her Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai with former contestant Gautam Vig, Deol indulged in funny banter with Khan.
'Naiyo Lagda' launched
'KKBKKJ's first song was also released during the finale
As promised, superstar Khan also launched Naiyo Lagda during the Bigg Boss finale, featuring him and Pooja Hegde. It is the first song from his upcoming film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and came out around 10:30pm. Shot in Leh and Ladakh, it has been sung by Shabbir Ahmed, Kamaal Khan, and Palak Mucchal, and composed by Khan's frequent collaborator Himesh Reshammiya.
'Bhai's banter
Khan had his own fun with Bhanot and Ankit Gupta
As is the case each season, Khan didn't leave a chance to pull the contestants' legs even during the final episode! While Bhanot was his target for his "overacting" and "fake love-angle" with former contestant and actor Tina Datta, Ankit Gupta was also pulled up for his "habit of talking a lot," with Khan even taking a subtle dig at Gupta's post-elimination interviews.
