Key Rumors vs. Reality
- The Initial Hype: Early September leaks pointed to actresses Shikha Malhotra (known from TV shows like Yeh Hai Mohabbatein) and singer Tia Kar as prime candidates for a double female wild card entry. Sources suggested their arrival could shake up dynamics amid captaincy battles and boost TRPs. This chatter peaked around September 10, with multiple outlets echoing the speculation.
- What Actually Happened? No entry yet. Current contestant lists (updated as of mid-September) include originals like Gaurav Khanna, Amaal Mallik, Ashnoor Kaur, Awez Darbar, Abhishek Bajaj, and others—no sign of Shikha or Tia. The show’s only confirmed wild card so far is Shehbaz Badesha (a male contestant who entered around September 6-7).
- Latest Twists:
- A fresh rumor from September 17 hints at Siwet Tomar (from MTV Roadies and Splitsvilla) as the second wild card—another male, potentially entering soon.
- No recent posts from @BIGGBOSS__KHABRI or similar insiders confirm a female entry; searches turned up zilch on X for matching updates.
Why the Delay?
Reality TV twists like wild cards often get teased for hype but depend on production schedules, evictions, and TRP dips. With BB19 already heating up (e.g., fights over ghee rations and “flipper” accusations), makers might be holding off—or pivoting to other names. Earlier speculation about Khushi Dubey or even Swara Bhaskar (likely satirical) fizzled too.
Bottom line: The female wild card feels “likely” but not locked in. If it drops this weekend, expect fireworks—especially with speculated sparks like a Baseer Ali pairing. Keep eyes on Colors TV episodes for the real reveal. What’s your take—hype or bust? Drop thoughts below!
