Stree 2 Sarkata, spiritual guru Aniruddhacharya: Who will enter the Bigg Boss 18 house? Rumored contestants revealed

As anticipation mounts for the premiere of Bigg Boss 18, scheduled to air on October 5th on Colors TV, excitement is reaching fever pitch. With Salman Khan set to return as host, the new season promises a fresh lineup of contestants and even more drama, though the final list of participants is still under wraps.

Speculation is rife about who might enter the Bigg Boss house this season. Rumored names include actors like Gurucharan Singh, Arjun Bijlani, Sameera Reddy, and Pooja Sharma, alongside social media influencers such as Mr. Faisu, Dolly Chaiwala, and Maxtern. There are also whispers of former Splitsvilla 15 contestants like Digvijay Rathee and Unnati Tomar joining the fray. In addition, former Bigg Boss OTT 3 winner Sana Makbul, with Naezy and Ranvir Shorey as the runners-up, has set the bar high with their recent performances. Here’s what we know about the latest buzz:

Sunil Kumar

Sunil Kumar, known for his role as Sarkata in Stree 2, has hinted at the possibility of joining Bigg Boss 18. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Sunil revealed that he’s been approached by the show’s producers and is seriously considering their offer. However, his commitment to his job as a police constable could pose a challenge. “I just got a call from Bigg Boss for their October season. I'm currently contemplating the offer, but my job in the police force makes it tricky to take time off,” Sunil said. He added that while getting leave from his police duties is usually manageable, participating in a reality show will require careful planning.

Aniruddhacharya
In contrast, Aniruddhacharya, the founder of Vrindavan’s Gauri Gopal Ashram, has made it clear that he won’t be joining the show. During a recent prayer meet, he disclosed that he was offered a substantial sum to participate but declined the offer. “I turned it down because it doesn’t align with my values and culture. Bigg Boss is known for featuring individuals who don’t share my beliefs. My principles matter more to me than money,” Aniruddhacharya explained. His rejection underscores his commitment to his spiritual path over financial incentives.

Somy Ali
Former actress Somy Ali, known for her past relationship with Salman Khan and her philanthropic efforts, has also been a topic of speculation. She dated Salu bhai from 1991 to 1999 and has since distanced herself from the entertainment industry. Rumors had circulated suggesting she might join the Bigg Boss 18 lineup, but Somy has firmly dismissed these claims. In a statement to IANS, she described the show as “heavily scripted” and expressed her disinterest in participating. “I’ve never watched Bigg Boss and have no knowledge of its format. I can’t leave my non-profit work to be part of a show whose duration is too long and whose scripting is questionable,” Somy stated.

As Bigg Boss 18 gears up for its launch, fans are eagerly awaiting the official list of contestants. With Sunil Kumar and Aniruddhacharya's reactions making headlines and Somy Ali’s denial adding to the intrigue, the show promises to be filled with surprises. Stay tuned for more updates as the final roster of participants is announced.
