Salman Khan is a crowd favourite and the star enjoys a loyal fan base across all age groups across the country. Bigg Boss 13, hosted by Salman, has garnered the highest TRPs in the history of the show, and it's also thanks to the star's charisma and fan base.

A look at television ratings of the last few weeks of Season 13 suggests a surge in viewership over the weekend, when Salman Khan took the stage, as compared to the weekdays. While the average TRP recorded by Bigg Boss on the weekdays was 2.4, it spiked to 3.3, and at times even 3.5 on the weekends.
