Bigg Boss 14: Saath Nibhaana Saathiya’s Gopi Bahu Aka Gia Manek Backs Out Of The Reality Show; Here’s Why

The much awaited 14^th season of superstar Salman Khan’s reality show Bigg Boss is all set to premiere on television on 3^rd October. While makers recently revealed that Jaan Kumar Sanu will be the first contestant in the show this year, a list of other probable contestants has also been doing the rounds including names such as Pavitra Punia, Jasmin Bhasin, Eijaz Khan, Nishant Singh Malkhani, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla. Well, it was reported that Saath Nibhaana Saathiya’s Gopi Bahu aka Gia Manek will be also be a part of the show. However, she has reportedly backed out.

In a report shared by Pinkvilla, a source was quoted saying, “Gia was all set to enter the house but her deal with the channel did not work out. Gia would definitely had been an addition to the show and with an anticipation about her camaraderie with Nishant Malkhani, the buzz would have definitely picked up. However, Abhinav Shukla's entry will definitely fill that void especially given that Rubina and Abhinav share a great chemistry. The duo was perhaps the last ones to give their nod for the show.”

This year the show is going to be very different and the BB house will be like nothing you’ve ever seen before! Ex contestants Sidharth Shukla, Hina Khan, Gauahar Khan and Prince Narula will also be entering the show as mentors for the first two weeks, after which the entire format will change. Let’s wait and watch what happens!
