The much-anticipated reality show Bigg Boss 18, hosted by Salman Khan, is all set to premiere on Colors TV from October 6, 2024. While fans are eager to see which celebrities will participate, recent developments suggest that Bollywood actress Isha Koppikar, who was almost confirmed to join the show, has backed out just four days before its launch.
Isha Koppikar’s Exit
Isha Koppikar’s name has often been linked with Bigg Boss in the past, and this year, her participation seemed almost certain. However, as per sources, the actress decided to opt out of the show at the last moment. While no official statement has been made, it is believed that last-minute changes led to her exit from the contestant lineup. That said, the show’s unpredictable nature leaves room for surprises, and fans might still see her make an appearance if negotiations succeed in the coming days.
Nia Sharma Confirmed for Bigg Boss 18
While Isha may have stepped back, popular TV actress Nia Sharma has been confirmed as the first official contestant of Bigg Boss 18. The announcement was made by Rohit Shetty during the grand finale of Khatron Ke Khiladi. Nia, known for her bold personality, is expected to add some excitement to the show and entertain the audience with her presence.
Other Celebrities Joining the Show
Apart from Nia, several other prominent names are being speculated to join the Bigg Boss house this season. Bollywood actresses Shanti Priya and Shilpa Shirodkar are also rumored to be part of the show. As per reports, Shilpa has already signed the contract with the makers.
Other celebrities likely to enter Bigg Boss 18 include popular TV actors such as Shoaib Ibrahim, Alice Kaushal, Meera Deosthale, Naira Banerjee, Avinash Mishra, Debchandrima Singha Roy, Chahat Pandey, and Shahzada Dhami.
No 24/7 Live Feed This Year
In a surprising move, the makers have reportedly decided to discontinue the 24-hour live feed on JioCinema for this season. This decision has sparked curiosity among fans, as the live feed has been a significant feature in recent years. However, the daily episodes will continue to air on Colors TV as usual. There has been no official confirmation from either JioCinema or Colors TV about this change yet.
As Bigg Boss 18 gears up for its grand premiere, fans are eagerly waiting to see who will ultimately step into the house and what surprises this season holds.
