After her triumphant win on The Traitors, Nikita Luther is riding high on success and speculation. As Bigg Boss 19 gears up for its OTT debut on August 29, Luther’s name has popped up on several rumored contestant lists. But the poker ace and reality TV breakout has finally addressed the chatter—and it’s not the answer many fans were expecting.
In an exclusive interview, the high-stakes strategist was quick to dismiss the Bigg Boss rumours, saying she’s not inclined toward a show driven by “screaming matches or fake controversies.”
“I’m open to reality shows if the format is interesting,” she explained, “but Bigg Boss doesn’t appeal to me. If it’s strategic and psychological, I’m listening. Otherwise, I’d rather stick to real games.”
Luther, who earned widespread praise for her gameplay and poise during The Traitors, revealed that despite her early elimination, she bounced back even stronger. “That moment gave me more power than if I had just quietly stayed on,” she said.
Though not a fan of typical reality show drama, Luther admits the attention she’s receiving post-The Traitors has been refreshing. “People are seeing a different personality—more grounded, more real,” she said.
Interestingly, while she downplayed her chances of entering the Bigg Boss house, she did offer a glimmer of possibility: “Never say never—if the price is right.”
As names like Ram Kapoor (who has already denied his participation), Apoorva Mukhija, and Uorfi Javed continue to dominate BB19 buzz, Luther’s clarity comes as a reality check for fans anticipating another crossover from The Traitors camp.
One thing is certain—Nikita Luther is not here for the noise unless the stakes, and the strategy, are worth it.
