As Bigg Boss prepares for its highly anticipated 18th season following the thrilling finale of Bigg Boss OTT 3, rumors are swirling about potential contestants, with Arjun Bijlani being one of the names circulating in the media.
In a recent episode of Laughter Chef, Arjun Bijlani was playfully teased about the possibility of joining Bigg Boss. This led to a media interaction where Bijlani addressed the long-standing question from fans and media alike: Why hasn’t he participated in the reality show Bigg Boss? Known for his charisma and versatility, Bijlani is a prominent figure in the Indian television industry, having starred in numerous successful series and reality shows. However, his absence from one of India’s most controversial and talked-about shows has often piqued curiosity.
Arjun candidly shared his reasons for steering clear of Bigg Boss. He explained, “The reason is that, as reality shows, you are put through various circumstances that don’t allow you to be yourself; different situations bring out your hyperness and negativity. I prefer to do shows like this, where I can be as I am at home.”
Bijlani’s comments shed light on a common critique of reality television, where contestants are often thrust into high-pressure situations that can trigger conflicts and emotional outbursts. While these elements make for captivating viewing for many, they challenge Bijlani’s desire to maintain authenticity and positivity.
Bigg Boss is notorious for its drama-filled episodes and intense interpersonal dynamics, which often lead to high tension and controversy. For actors like Bijlani, who value a calm and controlled environment, participating in such a show might not align with their personal and professional values. Instead, Arjun has carved out his niche in shows like Laughter Chef, which allow him to showcase his true personality.
Meanwhile, Shoaib Ibrahim was also reportedly approached to participate in the upcoming season, but the actor denied the claims, labeling them as rumors.
As Bigg Boss 18 gears up for its premiere, the buzz surrounding potential contestants continues to grow, keeping fans eagerly awaiting the show’s return.
