Shalin Bhanot to host the upcoming season of Indian Idol; details inside

Indian Idol, one of Indian television's pioneering singing shows with a rich legacy, is generating buzz about a potential new host. According to our sources, Shalin Bhanot, currently a top contender in Khatron Ke Khiladi, might be taking on this new role.

Our source informs us, 'Last season was anchored by Hussain, but the makers are looking for a fresh face this year. Shalin has been a top choice as while he may not have hosted reality shows before, he is spontaneous and lively, which was a top requirement for the makers.'

Shalin Bhanot is currently in Romania filming for Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, while auditions for Indian Idol have recently commenced. However, the show is expected to begin in September. We reached out to Shalin for a comment, but he has not responded yet. Let us know how excited you are to see Shalin taking up this new role!

For the unversed, Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 has already created a buzz in the entertainment world even before its commencement. Reports have surfaced about Asim Riaz allegedly getting into altercations with fellow contestant Shalin Bhanot and eventually with the show's host, Rohit Shetty, leading to his removal from the show.
