Bigg Boss 18: Arjun Bijlani reacts to the news of participating in the show

Bigg Boss, one of the most popular reality shows, is gearing up for its 18th season following the explosive conclusion of Bigg Boss OTT 3. Reports have started emerging about potential participants, with Arjun Bijlani's name surfacing in the media as one of the contenders.

In a recent episode of Laughter Chef, everyone was seen teasing Arjun Bijlani about participating in Bigg Boss.

Recently, in a media interaction, Arjun Bijlani addressed the question that fans and media have been asking for years: Why hasn't he participated in the reality show "Bigg Boss"? Known for his charming personality and versatility, Bijlani is a familiar face in the Indian television industry, appearing in several successful series and reality shows. However, his absence from one of the most controversial and talked-about shows on Indian television has often sparked curiosity.

Arjun shared his thoughts on why he chose to avoid "Bigg Boss." He explained, "The reason is that, as reality shows, you are put through various circumstances that don't allow you to be yourself; different situations bring out your hyperness and negativity. I prefer to do shows like this, where I can be as I am at home."

Arjun's comments highlight a common critique of reality television, where participants are often placed in high-pressure situations that can lead to conflicts and emotional outbursts. For many, these elements make for captivating viewing, but for Bijlani, they challenge his desire to maintain authenticity and positivity.

"Bigg Boss" is known for its drama-filled episodes and intense interpersonal dynamics, often leading to high tension and controversy; for actors like Bijlani, who value a calm and controlled environment, participating in such a show might not align with their personal and professional ethos. Instead, Arjun has found his niche in shows like Laughter Chefs, which allow him to showcase his real personality.

Shoaib Ibrahim was reportedly approached about appearing this season, but the actor denied the news and called it a rumour.
