Bigg Boss 20’: Karan Johar, Shanaya Kapoor To Promote ‘Student of the Year: After Dark’ On Salman Khan’s Show (EXCLUSIVE)
Shanaya Kapoor and filmmaker Karan Johar are all set to make a joint appearance on “Bigg Boss 20” to promote their upcoming web series, “Student of the Year: After Dark.” This is the first time that Shanaya will be a part of “Bigg Boss Weekend Ka Vaar,” the special segment of the popular reality show. Johar and she will share the stage and meet the contestants and won’t enter the house.
Johar has hosted Bigg Boss episodes in the absence of Salman Khan a few times. He was also the host of “Bigg Boss OTT” Season 1. The filmmaker stepped in for Khan in “Bigg Boss” Seasons 16 and 17. “Student of the Year: After Dark” will stream on the same platform as the controversial reality show.

The young actress is an ardent viewer of “Bigg Boss” and has been waiting for a chance to appear on the reality show.
