Get ready for the drama to unfold! Television actress Nia Sharma has officially been confirmed as the first contestant for the upcoming 18th season of Bigg Boss. The news was announced during the finale of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, where Nia was a guest. While the season is set to begin airing on October 6th, with Salman Khan back at the helm as host, speculation has been rife about who will be joining the reality show. Nia’s confirmed participation marks the first official confirmation.
Nia, who recently appeared on the reality show Comedy Chefs, seemed a bit nervous but also delighted when host Rohit Shetty revealed the news. This isn’t the first time Nia has been approached for Bigg Boss, but she has declined previous offers. It seems she’s finally ready to face the challenges and drama of the Bigg Boss house.
Meanwhile, the winner of Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 14, Karan Veer Mehra, was crowned the champion after beating Gashmeer Mahajani and Krishna Shroff. He won a cash prize of ₹ 20 lakh and a brand-new car. When asked if he would be joining Bigg Boss 18, Karan Veer Mehra said he doesn’t have any plans but didn’t completely rule it out, hinting that the possibility isn’t off the table.
Bigg Boss 18 promises some fresh twists this year, as hinted by a recent promo featuring Salman Khan. Along with Nia Sharma, rumors are swirling about other potential contestants including Shilpa Shirodkar, Nyra Banerjee, and Shoaib Ibrahim. However, these are just rumors for now.
The new season of Bigg Boss comes after the grand finale of Bigg Boss OTT 3 in August, hosted by Anil Kapoor. The top five finalists were Sana Makbul, Sai Ketan Rao, Ranvir Shorey, Kritika Malik, and Naezy. Sana Makbul emerged as the winner, taking home a cash prize of ₹ 25 lakh. The event was streamed live on JioCinema for Premium subscribers.
