Celebrities who might not be a part of Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 19
Ram Kapoor
The actor, last seen in JioHotstar's Mistry, said that he wouldn't be a part of Bigg Boss 19 even if offered Rs. 20 crore. During his interview with Filmibeat, he said that the show feels like voyeuristic and that does not sit well with him.
Mallika Sherawat
Mallika Sherawat was claimed to have received Bigg Boss 19 offer. She took to Instagram to clarify, "I am NOT doing Bigg Boss and NEVER WILL. THANK YOU." The actress had attended Bigg Boss 18 as a guest to promote Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.
Anusha Dandekar
Talking to News18, Anusha Dandekar said that she would not participate on Bigg Boss 19 and the makers might already be aware of it by this point. "I think they know I’ll slip out midway! But really, if they’re going to keep using my name for attention, I deserve a cheque at this point," she cheekily said.
Zareen Khan
While talking to Hindi Rush, Zareen Khan cited two major reasons why she cannot do Bigg Boss 19 - one being that she cannot stay away from home for three months straight and the other that she cannot tolerate misbehaviour and might slap the person involved.
Anita Hassanandani
While talking to Pinkvilla, Anita Hassanandani got candid as she mentioned how she was not wired for a show like Bigg Boss since she is not dramatic in real life.
