Kannada reality show went off air on May 8 amid Karnataka govt’s Covid curbs
BENGALURU:
After nearly 45 days, Bigg Boss Kannada season 8 is all set to resume its second innings from June 23.
The Colors Kannada channel made an official announcement on Monday. The show will resume with actor Kiccha Sudeep anchoring the show.
The reality show was pulled off the air after the last show (the 71st episode) on May 8 amid the lockdown-linked curbs announced by the Karnataka government as a surge in Covid-19 cases was witnessed in the state.
