When Karan replaced Salman in the third week of BB16
Karan had filled in for Salman in the third week of BB16. As per media reports, Salman was down with dengue and therefore he couldn't host the reality show over the weekend, which is why Karan took over the hosting for the mentioned time period.
Meanwhile, this week, Sreejita De and Abdu Rozik bid goodbye to Bigg Boss 16. While Sreejita was evicted on basis of the least public votes. Abdu had to quit the show due to prior commitments.
