Finally, the night has arrived for Salman Khan to unlock the doors of Bigg Boss 17. 17 celebrities will be imprisoned in the opulent home for 105 days as part of the contentious reality show. They would be split up into the “Dil, Dimag, and Dum” categories this time, with each possessing unique abilities. Bigg Boss has also revealed that certain contestants would have unique powers, meaning that no two games will be the same.
Although the Bigg Boss 17 final contestant roster has not yet been revealed, the show’s producers have released a few promos featuring the show’s celebrities. The verified names of Bigg Boss 17 contestants have also been released on social media and fan pages. Before you watch the show tonight, here’s the list of people who will get locked inside.
Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain, two of the most talked-about candidates this season, will be competing on Bigg Boss. This is the couple’s first time appearing on a show together, despite the fact that they have always been outspoken about their relationship. Ankita is a great fit for Bigg Boss because of her direct nature, but it would be intriguing to watch her battle with her spouse along. A lovely dance routine demonstrating the wedded couple’s chemistry was published by Colours TV.
Together with her ex-boyfriend Abhishek Kumar, Udaariyaan actor Isha Malviya will take the stage to show off a different aspect of a relationship. The host seems delighted by the two fighting in front of Salman Khan in the teaser that the channel shared. While Isha will blame Abhishek for being possessive and even accuse her of infidelity, Abhishek will feign innocence and share how she has been disrespectful to him in their affair.
Exclusive reports from a news agency stated that Jigna Vora, a former journalist, was selected for Bigg Boss 17. The crime reporter was imprisoned on suspicion of having assisted in the death of a senior journalist. She wrote about her experience as a biographical memoir Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison, which Hansal Mehta eventually turned into the Netflix web series Scoop.
Bigg Boss 17 will also feature Mannara Chopra, Priyanka and Parineeti Chopra’s cousin. The actor, who debuted in Zid, was recently involved in a scandal after it was claimed that her director for Thiragabadara Saami had given her a forceful kiss. Barbie Handa is Mannara’s true name; she changed it when she started working in show business. While entering Bigg Boss 17, she would be seen dancing with Salman Khan on his and Priyanka’s song “Lal Dupatta”.
The most anticipated addition to Bigg Boss 17 is comedian and singer Munawar Faruqui. Munawar is going to be one of the stronger competitors this season because he won Lock Upp season 1. He will also be coming in with experience and the support of his followers. According to the teaser, Munawar will arrive dressed as a “shayar” and be shown joking around with presenter Salman Khan.
In 2021, the stand-up comedian was also taken into custody for allegedly offending religious feelings during his performance. Before the judge dismissed the case as “vague,” he was held for 37 days. Munawar won last year’s ALTBalaji reality show by channelling his frustrations from the show.
News agencies had reported on Manasvi Mamgai, the former Miss India, abruptly withdrawing from Bigg Boss 17. The Trial actor’s entry has been postponed due to a disagreement with the producers. Sana Raees Khan, an attorney, was hired overnight to take her position, according to the Bombay Times.
Navid Sole, a “sassy” pharmacist from the UK, will compete internationally on the show. Salman Khan, the host, is shown attempting to teach him Hindi in the preview for his arrival while they engage in light conversation.
Actor Rinku Dhawan has also been announced for Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki. The actor, who was married to Kiran Karmarkar, is known to be bold and bindaas and thus would be a strong voice on Bigg Boss 17.
Khatron Ke Khiladi 13 came in second. Bigg Boss 17 was extended to Aishwarya Sharma during her tenure on the adventurous reality programme. She made the decision to seize the chance, and her spouse Neil Bhatt will be living with her. According to reports, Bigg Boss and Salman Khan separated the duo even though they had taken the stage together.
Although there isn’t any official word yet, social media rumours suggest that Bigg Boss 17 also includes content creators Sunny Arya, Arun Srikanth, and Anurag Dhobal.
Feroza Khan, a celebrity from MTV Hustle, is rumoured to appear on the show. She is reportedly Bigg Boss OTT 2 Jad Hadid’s girlfriend. However, the name of actor Soniya Bansal is also making the rounds in the press. She recently made her debut with Shakti Kapoor and Rahul Roy’s film 100 crore.
Bigg Boss 17 will air Monday-Friday, 9 pm on Colors TV.
