As Bigg Boss 19 preps for its much-hyped premiere later this August, television gossip mills are buzzing with a new name: Chandni Sharma. The actress, who earned major recognition for her fierce portrayal of Arshi in Jhanak, is reportedly in talks to join the upcoming season of the reality TV juggernaut.
While there’s no official confirmation yet, media reports suggest that Chandni may be among the final contestants locked in for the show. If true, it would mark her first-ever stint in a reality format — and the first time audiences will see her without a script or character filter.
The speculation has sparked curiosity among fans, especially given Chandni’s popularity as a television actress. Her role in Jhanak positioned her as a compelling antagonist, and her potential appearance in the Bigg Boss house could offer viewers a chance to see the real person behind the on-screen persona.
Apart from Jhanak, Chandni has appeared in shows like Armaan, Kaamnaa, and Aye Barish, and boasts a strong social media presence with nearly half a million Instagram followers. She also shares a close friendship with actress Surbhi Jyoti, further adding to her celeb circle influence.
Bigg Boss 19 Heats Up
This year’s season of Bigg Boss promises a digital-first rollout, streaming on JioCinema before its televised airing on Colors TV. With a five-month runtime and rotating hosts (Salman Khan kicking off the season), the makers are clearly aiming for scale and disruption.
While other rumored names like Khushi Dubey and Apoorva Mukhija are also making rounds online, the final lineup remains under wraps. Whether Chandni Sharma’s participation is confirmed or not, her inclusion in the speculative lists suggests that the Bigg Boss 19 casting team is targeting a strategic blend of TV favorites and emerging stars.
Stay tuned — the drama is just getting started.
