Salman Khan’s reality show Bigg Boss 19 is gearing up for its premiere on August 24, but the set is still under preparation, and the casting of contestants is far from complete. The makers are meeting celebrities every day to finalise the lineup, and speculation about who will enter the house is creating buzz among fans. Among the names doing the rounds are rapper Raftaar and actress Khushi Dubey, both of whom have now addressed the rumours themselves.
Raftaar Breaks Silence On His Bigg Boss 19 Entry
For weeks, media reports suggested that Raftaar, known for his appearance on The Traitors, was a confirmed contestant for Bigg Boss 19. Fans were eager to see the rapper on Salman Khan’s reality show. However, Raftaar has now clarified the reports himself.
Sharing a shirtless photo on his Instagram story, Raftaar wrote, “Raftaar in Bigg Boss 19? No.” With this short post, he made it clear that he will not be participating in the show, debunking the ongoing rumours.
Earlier reports by Telly Chakkar and other entertainment portals had claimed that Raftaar was all set to join the house as a confirmed contestant, but the rapper’s social media update has put these speculations to rest.
Khushi Dubey Also Reacts To Reports Of Her Participation
Apart from Raftaar, Aashiqana actress Khushi Dubey has also reacted to reports linking her to the show. In an interview, she addressed the speculation directly.
Khushi said, “I have spoken to the team. I have discussed with them, but I don’t know where all these news are coming from that I have been confirmed.” She further added in Hindi, “Ye bhi likha ja raha hai ki maine confirm kiya hai ki main show ke liye approach hui hoon. Lekin main confirm nahi hui hoon. Abhi bhi baatcheet chal rahi hai.” (It is also being written that I have confirmed that I have been approached for the show. But I am not confirmed. Talks are still going on.)
When asked if she would join the show if everything goes well, Khushi replied that she has no idea at the moment. While she has not rejected the opportunity, she has clarified that the news claiming she is confirmed is false.
