Actor Sanjay Dutt, who makes his debut on televison as the host for the fifth season of reality show 'Bigg Boss', says, he was nervous initially but co-anchor and friend Salman Khan built his confidence. The Bollywood celebrities made a splashing entry at a promotional event here last night, where they played anchors and questioned each other on various things including Khan's recent surgery and talk of an alleged tiff between the star-duo sometime back.

“As an anchor I enjoyed and liked it. I got confidence from Salman. Since this the first time I am hosting a show so there was nervousness backstage. I was nervous but when we came on stage and Salman started the act and then I became comfortable....and we went with the flow,” said Sanjay. Both Salman and Sanjay have worked together in films like 'Saajan' and 'Chal Mere Bhai', and share a great friendship.

“I feel this is the best time to do TV. Earlier I was little afraid to do it. When I went as a guest on Salman's show 'Dus Ka Dum' he had told me that I must host a show. And if there is a good opportunity then he will ensure I do it. It is Salman who told me about Bigg Boss and that is how I came on board,” said Sanjay. Sanjay says he considers Salman like his younger brother. "We share a great chemistry, there is a great bond and friendship so all this is fun to do," he said.
