Shafaq Naaz
Since the past few days, there have been multiple reports speculating who could be the contestants on the upcoming season of Bigg Boss 19. Among them, one such report claimed that Shafaq Naaz is one of the confirmed contestants of Bigg Boss season 19. However, later some reports said that the TV actress had exited at the last minute due to an emergency. The actress has now cleared the air about all the reports, clarifying that she is not doing the Salman Khan-hosted show, and that there's no emergency in her life, and her health is good.
Shafaq took to social media to share a video in which she can be heard saying, "Hi, I am making this video to clarify two things. Number 1: Am I doing Bigg Boss or not? So, I am not doing Bigg Boss guys. But, yaha tak bhi thik hai (But it was fine till here)."
She further added, "Then main news dekhti hu, due to some family emergency, due to some health issues; I exited the show and I am like 'yeh kab hua?'. (Then I saw a news that due to some family emergency, due to some health issues, I exited the show, and I am wondering 'when did that happen') So much drama happening in my life, and I am absolutely clueless. Nothing of that sort is happening in my life, and I am absolutely fine."
The actress further went on to clarify, "I am alright, I am walking and talking. Doing my normal things and being my normal self that I am. I am fit to go on sets, I am fit to work, I am fit to walk, I am fit to talk, I am fit to do everything. Thankfully, no emergency is happening in my life."
Bigg Boss 19 is all set to premiere on Colors TV and Jio Hotstar on August 24, 2025. So far, Gaurav Khanna, Ashnoor Kaur, Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar, Zeeshan Qadri, and Apoorva Mukhija are rumoured to enter the Salman Khan-hosted reality show.
Recently, a Times of India report claimed that the makers of the show have approached former American boxer Mike Tyson to arrive on Bigg Boss 19. It further claims that he will enter the BB house in October just for a week or 10 days.
