Amidst swirling rumors and speculative reports, Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat has firmly denied her participation in the upcoming season of Bigg Boss 19. This clarification comes as a relief to some and a disappointment to others, especially given the buzz surrounding the tentative list of contestants for the popular reality show.
The rumors gained traction as the new season approached, with many online sources and media outlets suggesting Sherawat as one of the potential participants. Such speculations are common before each season of Bigg Boss, fueled by the anticipation and curiosity of the audience. Other names that have been circulating include Apoorva Mukhija, Raj Kundra, Ram Kapoor, and Tanushree Dutta.
Sherawat's appearances on Bigg Boss in the past have been quite memorable. Notably, her interactions with the show's host, Salman Khan, have often grabbed headlines. For instance, during an appearance on Bigg Boss 18, Sherawat was seen playfully flirting with Salman Khan, even planting a kiss on his cheek, which caused quite a stir on social media. Colors TV uploaded a clip from the episode that featured Sherawat walking onto the stage in a bold red lehenga. She initiated a flirty conversation, asking Salman to look into her eyes and calling him "India's most eligible bachelor". Their dance together and the peck on the cheek further fueled the media frenzy.
Beyond her interactions with Salman, Sherawat also engaged with other contestants on the show. During her visit to the Bigg Boss house, she was playful with Karan Veer Mehra and Avinash Mishra. She playfully asked Karan Veer to compliment her, to which he responded that she was far more beautiful than she appeared to be on-screen. Avinash also showcased his physique, adding to the entertainment.
Despite her entertaining appearances on the show in the past, Sherawat seems to have other priorities at the moment. While she won't be a contestant on Bigg Boss 19, there are reports suggesting that she may be in talks for Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. This indicates that she is still open to participating in reality shows, albeit of a different nature.
Her recent projects include promoting her film, Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, where she plays the role of Chanda alongside Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri. This film marked her return to Bollywood after a two-year break.
The news of Mallika Sherawat not participating in Bigg Boss 19 will likely shift the focus to other potential contestants and the overall format of the show. As the premiere date approaches, viewers are eager to see who will ultimately enter the Bigg Boss house and what drama will unfold.
