Munawar Faruqui
A popular stand-up comedian, Munawar initially grabbed headlines in 2021 when he was arrested for hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus during his act. He also recently appeared in a reality show called “Lock Upp” and emerged as the winner. Munawar revealed many of his dark secrets in that show, including his sexual assault as a child. So yes, you can expect him to spill many more beans about his life in BB Season 16.
Vivian Dsena
A silver screen heartthrob, Vivian Dsena can also enter the show's upcoming season. Dsena recently got divorced from his long-time partner Vahbiz Dorabjee and no sooner did the news break than the internet started buzzing with the hows and whys. But you don’t have to anymore - trust the “Sirf Tum” actor to break his silence about each of his controversies in the BB house.
Shivin Narang
Another B-Town hottie who can be a possible contestant of BB 16 is Shivin Narang. Known for his charming smile and popular roles in TV serials, Shivin is by far the least controversial celeb on this list. But come on - isn’t Bigg Boss known for bringing out the wild side in everyone?
Jannat Zubair Rahmani
If you’ve not heard of Jannat, do you even use Instagram? A legit social media icon, Jannat has amassed millions of followers on many digital media platforms solely through her videos and reels. In fact, this 20-year-old influencer also recently participated in the Rohit Shetty-hosted stunt competition, Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 12. Unbelievable, right? Well, wait till you see her inside the BB house!
Faisal Shaikh (Mr. Faizu)
Talking of influencers, how can we miss the infamously famous Mr Faisu? We’re sure you all know about the epic YouTube vs TikTok combat that divided the internet. Well, that’s what made this social media star popular across India. But, while the saga has ended and Faisal is currently contesting in Khatron Ke Khiladi S12, fans can’t wait to see more of his wit in Bigg Boss.
Ashish Chanchlani
Who doesn’t know Ashish Chanchlani? A YouTuber who shot to fame with his funny vines and videos, Ashish is one of the highest-earning creators in India. In fact, he’s also interviewed many Hollywood celebrities and is known for his rib-tickling sarcasm. But little do we know of his personal life. So, let’s hope the BB house makes up for that as well.
Bharti Singh
The OG comedy queen of India, Bharti is one of the most loved and popular stars of Indian television. But in 2020, this celeb attracted foul controversy when the NCB arrested her and her husband for alleged drug consumption. While we all know the NCB’s side of the story, Bharti’s side remains in the dark. So can we expect that to come to light inside the house? We think so.
Munmun Dutta
Is Babita Ji from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah your crush too? Then get set to see a lot more of her in the next season of Bigg Boss. Yes, as per sources, the Bong bombshell Munmun Dutta can also be seen serving looks and much more inside the house. And who knows, maybe Cupid also plays its trick on her?
Kat Kristian
Indian model and actress Kat Kristian will also be a contestant on Bigg Boss Season 16. This cutie rose to fame with her silver screen debut in the modeling reality show MTV India’s Next Top Model Season 4. So, get ready to see this beauty stealing the show!
Mahi Vij
In the last season of Bigg Boss, we saw Jay Bhanushali entering the house. His fans were expecting him to be in the top 5. But in a shocking turn of events, Jay got evicted on the 55th day itself! But this year, his better half Mahi Vij is entering the house. Let’s hope she doesn’t prove to be as disappointing on the show.
Disha Parmar
In BB Season 14, Rahul Vaidya caught the limelight for being one of the wittiest and most active contestants. In fact, Disha also appeared in the season once when Rahul proposed to her. Since then, Disha and Rahul have been in the headlines, often regarded as one of the cutest couples in B-town. And now that she’ll be entering the house this season, fans can’t keep calm!
Shiney Ahuja
We have saved the best one for last! As per the sources, the forgotten hunk of Bollywood, Shiney Ahuja is also highly speculated to enter the BB house in the upcoming season.
Shiney was a popular Bollywood actor who had starred in blockbusters like Bhool Bhulaiyya and Gangster until he was arrested in an alleged case of molestation and rape. After that scandal, his career came to a halt, and he went completely incognito. But now that he’ll be there in BB Season 16, we’ll get to know this celeb and all about his controversies and scandals up close.
