His calm, cool nature, combined with a strategic mindset, were important elements of his widely acclaimed stint on Bigg Boss Telugu 5 when he reached the finals.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cHis journey on Bigg Boss Telugu earned him many loyal and ardent fans and the Hindi edition aims to tap into that layered personality he brings to the screen. He is perceived as both grounded and observant\u2014characteristics that appeal strongly with fans, especially in high-stakes circumstances like the Bigg Boss house,&#8221; said the source.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">An official confirmation regarding the same from the makers and the singer is still awaited.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Apart from him, other celebs who are likely to be a part of Bigg Boss 19 include TV actor Dheeraj Dhoopar, Alisha Panwar, Munmun Dutta, Anita Hassanandani, Lataa Saberwal, Ashish Vidyarthi, Twin sisters Chinki-Minki aka Surabhi and Samriddhi Mehra, YouTuber Purav Jha, Gaurav Taneja, Apurva Muhkija and cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal\u2019s ex-wife Dhanashree Verma.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">The last season of Bigg Boss ended in January, with Karan Veer Mehra lifting the trophy and Vivian D\u2019Sena as the first runner-up.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Previously, reports suggested that Bigg Boss 19 and Bigg Boss OTT 4 could be cancelled due to purported differences between the channel and the production team.
