The upcoming season of Bigg Boss is already creating buzz, with several celebrity names doing the rounds. According to multiple reports, the popular reality show is set to premiere next month. Among the speculated participants is well-known television actress Anita Hassanandani, who was reportedly approached for the new season. Addressing the rumours, the actress has now clarified whether she will be stepping into Salman Khan's show or not.

In response, the actress stated that she does not believe she is suitable for the show. 'Honestly, I don't think I am made for Bigg Boss. Mai agar karna bhi chahu toh they will only be hesitant kyuki joh voh chahte hai mai voh shayad de nahi paungi (Even if I want to do, they will be hesitant because what they want maybe I can't give them that)," she said. Anita Hassanandani will soon appear in the reality show Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, hosted by Rannvijay Singha.

Chhoriyan Chali Gaon is set to bring together a mix of television and digital media celebrities, placing them in a remote village setting, far removed from the comforts of urban life. The show aims to explore how city-dwellers adapt to a radically different lifestyle, testing their resilience and ability to live without modern amenities. Framed as a reality-based social experiment rather than a competition, the show will unfold over several weeks. Joining Anita Hassanandani on the show are several familiar faces, including Aamna Sharif, Aishwarya Khare, Chahat Pandey, Anjum Fakih, Sana Makbul, Maera Mishra, and others. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 19 will premiere in the last week of August and will run for a full five months. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
