Riteish expressed, “This season has been incredible, and we’ve received a fantastic response. We’ve managed to attract a newer audience to the show, and the credit goes to the makers and contestants who have performed so well.”
He shared his gratitude for the love he receives from viewers, who affectionately refer to him as the “Bhau of the nation.” He reminisced about the first time actor Salman Khan called him Bhau, saying, “He was the first person to call me Bhau, Salman bhai, and that’s why I also address him that way.”
