This year the show will be following the international pattern and Bigg Boss himself will be playing the game along with the contestants.

Tellychakkar has been at the forefront in bringing exclusive news from the world of the entertainment business.

As per sources Ridhima Pandit and Giaa Manek have been approached for the show and the talks are on between the makers and the actors.

Ridhima was seen last year as a contestant in Bigg Boss OTT and she came across as a strong contestant but was evicted not by the audience but by the housemates and the fans thought that her eviction was unfair and she did deserve another chance.

Her name has popped up for Bigg Boss 15 too but seems like things didn’t work and she couldn’t be part of the show.

On the other hand, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya actress Giaa Manek’s name has been popping up for many seasons from now but things have never materialized and hence she wasn’t part of the show.

Well, it will be interesting to see how Ridhima and Giaa would play the game and the fans feel they would be perfect contestants for the show.
