Bigg Boss 15: Rhea Chakraborty turns down makers' offer of Rs. 35 lakhs due to legal troubles?

Rhea Chakraborty has been in the headlines recently as the Bigg Boss 15 team has allegedly been keen on getting the actress on board for the season as a contestant. While the other celebrities becoming a part of the season have been in quarantine for the past two weeks before the grand premiere with Salman Khan on October 2, reports have been suggesting that discussion have been continuing with the Chehre actress.

It was reported, that Rhea was offered a whopping sum of Rs. 35 lakhs per week, the highest ever in Bigg Boss history, to participate. Well, looks like the makers of the show have been turned away by the actress for now. A BollywoodLife report has now claimed that the actress’ legal entanglements have prevented her from taking up the show as she is still under investigation by the Narcotics Control Bureau.

Another report in Times of India, has claimed that the actress is ready to get back to work and is currently looking at Bollywood and South Indian movie offers. She is allegedly now being managed by Salman Khan’s talent agency.

With all the stresses of 2020 behind her, Rhea’s first appearance on the big screen was in the Emraan Hashmi and Amitabh Bachchan starrer Chehre where she was also praised for her performance earlier this year.

As far as, Bigg Boss 15 is concerned, Salman Khan is shooting for the new season with the contestants today for the premiere. The theme this year is ‘sankat ka jungle’ and Tejaswi Prakash, Karan Kundrra, Akasa Singh, Pratik Sahejpal, Umar Riaz, Shamita Shetty, Nishant Bhat, and Simba Nagpal are the confirmed names entering the house.
