MUMBAI: Those in the news or even the slightest bit of controversy, usually find their names on the list of probable contestants of ‘Bigg Boss’ every year. So, it wasn’t surprising when Ritvik Arora was approached for the 14th edition of the popular reality show. However, he has declined the offer. The actor was in the news recently following his unceremonious exit from ‘Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke’. He has been replaced by Avinash Mishra in the daily soap.
Ritvik tells us, “I got an offer to participate in ‘Bigg Boss 14’ last month, but I turned it down. I refused, because it is not my cup of tea.”

The actor adds, “I think everyone is going through their own ‘Bigg Boss’ in this quarantine period at their respective homes. I, for one, thought it would be too much for me at the moment. Perhaps, a little more time outside, a little better understanding of people, then I’d be ready to give it a shot.”
Ritvik, we hear, is keen on taking up daily soaps at the moment. His focus is on acting. So, ‘Bigg Boss’ will have to wait.
While he has declined the offer, some popular faces have already given their nod to participate in the upcoming season of ‘BB’. Those confirmed include Jasmin Bhasin, Pavitra Punia, Naina Singh and Punjabi singer Sara Gurpal. Incidentally, Nishant Malkani, who was last seen in Ved Raj’s ‘Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega’, has also been approached by the makers, and sources say that he will be participating in the show.
