Bigg Boss 18: Nia Sharma Confirmed As FIRST Contestant On Salman Khan's Show? Actress Reacts

The excitement around the upcoming season of Bigg Boss 18 is reaching fever pitch, especially with the speculation that popular actor Nia Sharma is set to be the first contestant. The chatter began during the grand finale of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, where filmmaker Rohit Shetty announced that Nia would be confirmed for Bigg Boss 18, reviving interest in the reality show’s latest edition.

Following the episode’s airing, Nia found herself inundated with calls and messages from fans and friends eager to know more about her potential participation in the iconic reality show. Rather than directly confirming or denying the rumors, Nia took to her Instagram Stories to address the speculation in a candid manner. “Hi there! Please don’t call or text me to ask anything about the Bigg Boss thing. Mujhe maaf kardo. Mein nahi reply karugi. (Please forgive me. I won’t reply) Not up for giving quotes or any interviews. Have an awesome day,” she stated, leaving fans even more curious about her possible involvement.

In addition to the buzz surrounding her, Nia was recently a guest on the Khatron Ke Khiladi finale, where she received warm congratulations from fellow celebrities after Rohit Shetty’s announcement. Despite the excitement in the room, Nia’s response was a mixture of nervousness and surprise, as she smiled but didn’t divulge any further details. It’s worth noting that this isn’t Nia’s first brush with Bigg Boss; she has been approached multiple times in the past but has always opted out. What has made her change her mind this time remains a mystery.

As fans await official confirmations, the anticipation builds not only for Nia’s potential participation but also for the return of Salman Khan as the host. He has been a fixture of the show since season three, and his presence adds to the show’s allure. Over the years, Bigg Boss has consistently ranked among the most-watched television shows in India, despite fluctuations in its TRP ratings.

The 18th season is rumoured to introduce significant changes to the format, thanks to a recent BTS-style promo featuring Salman Khan that hints at an innovative approach. While Nia Sharma stands out as the first name linked to this season, other rumoured contestants include Shilpa Shirodkar, Digvijay Singh Rathee, Shoaib Ibrahim and more.
