The TVR (number) speaks in volumes about the love you all have shown towards the show and me. It's been a great 10+1 years of travel together, and it's time for me to move on with what I need to do. This will be my last season as a host for BBK, and I truly believe that my decision will be respected by my Colors and all those who have followed BB all these years.”
Sudeepa added that he will ensure his stint at the reality show ends on a high note. “Let's make this season the best, and I, too, shall entertain you all to my best. Luv & Hugs.
