Bigg Boss 19 is all set to begin on August 24, but the buzz around the contestant line-up is already in full swing. While the makers have not confirmed any names, reports and rumours are flooding social media. Two major updates have caught fans’ attention – Elnaaz Nourozi saying no to the show despite a huge offer, and fake news about another supposed participant.
Elnaaz Nourozi Turns Down Bigg Boss 19
According to a Hindustan Times report, actress Elnaaz Nourozi was approached for Bigg Boss 19 with a massive Rs 6 crore fee. The Iranian–German star, however, refused due to her busy shooting schedule. She is currently filming Masti 4 in London and also working on the web film Tehran with John Abraham.
An insider told the publication, “At this point, Elnaz is not running after the quantity of work or money, but she is focusing on the quality of her work. This is the reason why she is not joining Bigg Boss 19. There is no doubt that Bigg Boss gives a lot of recognition to an actor, but Elnaz does not want to compromise on the quality of her work.”
Elnaaz, who has appeared in Sacred Games, Made in Heaven, and The Traitors on Amazon Prime, is known for choosing her projects carefully. Right now, she is focusing on films rather than reality television.
Fake News About Pahalgam Attack Victim’s Wife?
Another name that made headlines was Himanshi Narwal, wife of a Pahalgam terror attack victim. A report by Telly Chakkar claimed that the makers were in talks to bring her on board, saying her story could emotionally connect with viewers.
However, the popular Instagram account Bigg Boss Khabri, which shares insider updates, called the news “FAKE.” The post asked media outlets to stop spreading unverified information, especially about such a sensitive topic, just months after the tragedy.
Countdown Is On For Bigg Boss 19 Premiere
