As the much-anticipated Bigg Boss 18 gears up for its grand premiere, excitement is building around who will be entering the house. Hosted by Salman Khan, the reality show promises a star-studded lineup and plenty of drama, with viewers eager to see their favorite celebrities in real-life situations. However, one name that won’t be on the list is Rishabh Jaiswal, a co-star from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Despite receiving a lucrative offer to participate in Bigg Boss 18, Rishabh has decided to decline the opportunity in favor of his current role on the hit show.
Rishabh Jaiswal’s Decision to Reject Bigg Boss 18
Rishabh Jaiswal, known for his roles in shows like MTV Roadies and Splitsvilla, currently portrays the character of Krish in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. According to sources, the actor was approached with a hefty offer to join Bigg Boss 18, but he chose to focus on his ongoing television commitments. His decision has surprised many, especially since Bigg Boss is known for boosting careers and offering massive exposure.
Rishabh reportedly turned down the offer due to his dedication to his current role in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. A source close to the actor revealed, “Rishabh is deeply invested in his character on the show and didn’t want to disrupt his work at this point in time. Although Bigg Boss is a great platform, he believes his focus should remain on his current project.” Fans of both the actor and the show would have loved to see him navigate the challenges and drama of the Bigg Boss house, but for now, they can continue enjoying his performance on Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai.
