Gaurav Taneja, popularly known as Flying Beast, has officially shut down the speculation about his entry into Bigg Boss 19. With his name circulating across fan pages and online chatter, the fitness influencer and pilot-turned-YouTuber finally addressed the rumours head-on — and made it clear he’s not stepping into the Bigg Boss house this season.
In a candid vlog, Taneja said, “Arre bhai, nahi jaa raha main Bigg Boss 19,” adding that some PR accounts had casually thrown his name into speculative contestant lists, fueling baseless assumptions. He admitted that this wasn’t the first time Bigg Boss had come calling — the show had approached him before the pandemic and once again during a “couples season,” but he declined due to prior commitments.
While fans might be disappointed, Taneja hasn’t completely ruled out a future appearance. “You should never make absolute statements on social media,” he noted, implying that he might consider it under different circumstances — possibly even if things take a financial downturn, referencing actor Ranvir Shorey’s past admission of doing the show out of necessity.
The buzz surrounding Taneja’s potential entry is part of the larger frenzy building around Bigg Boss 19, which is set to premiere in late August 2025. With its revamped theme “Rewind,” the upcoming season is poised to blend nostalgia with fresh drama. The show will debut on JioCinema before its Colors TV broadcast, and Salman Khan will return as host — at least for the initial weeks.
From dramatic format overhauls to wildcard contestant lists, Bigg Boss 19 is already shaping up to be a season that blurs the lines between reel and real — just not for Flying Beast. Not yet.
