A Bhopal-based dermatologist named Dr. Abhineet Gupta has filed an FIR claiming he was conned out of Rs 10 lakh on the pretext of getting entry in the popular television reality show Bigg Boss. The dermatologist revealed that he has filed an FIR at the Oshiwara Police Station in Mumbai. Previously, he had also filed an FIR in Bhopal.

During a recent press conference held in Mumbai, the doctor claimed that back in 2022, a man named Karan Singh urged him to try for Bigg Boss. SIngh claimed to have good relations with the makers. Abhineet said, "He talked about giving one crore rupees, but I said that I do not have that much money. Then he went to Mumbai, and he made me talk to his colleagues on the phone. He talked about giving 60 lakh rupees and told me to pay in cash. He called me to Mumbai and arranged a meeting with Harish Shah, Senior Vice President of Endemol Company."
He further revealed that Karan asked him for money, and he transferred Rs 10 lakh to the accused. However, when the list of contestants for Bigg Boss season 16 was announced, Abhineet's name was not in it. When questioned, Karan said that Abhineet would enter mid-show as a wild card. But when the season ended, Karan changed his statement, claiming that he would make him participate in the next season. The next season too, nothing happened.
"When season 17 also ended, I asked Karan Singh to return the 10 lakh rupees. But he kept making me run around. Finally, I went to the police to lodge a complaint, but there too it was delayed a lot, and after almost two years, the FIR was registered with great difficulty," Abhineet shared. The police have reportedly registered a case against the accused under Section 420 of the IPC for fraud. The dermatologist said that he wants everyone to be aware of people like Karan so that they do not end up getting scammed like him.
Bigg Boss 19
Bigg Boss is all set with another exciting season. The makers recently treated the viewers with a gripping trailer of Bigg Boss Season 19 on Thursday. This season has been set against the dramatic backdrop of a Parliament with the theme 'Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar' hinting at a seismic shift in power. In a first, the housemates will be given the authority to make their own decisions, whether big or small. Teasing this thrilling transformation, the trailer shows Salman Khan stepping into a commanding role once again as the 'host' of this chaotic new democracy.
The season is expected to effectively echo the cultural pulse of the nation, where power, people, and unpredictability collide in pure Bigg Boss style. Salman spilled his excitement for the latest season, saying, "Bigg Boss ka har season alag hota hai, lekin iss baar toh scene hi palat gaya hai. 'Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar ka matlab hai power unke haath mein aur jab power milti hai, toh asli chehre saamne aate hain. Is baar contestants ko apne decisions lene ka poora haq diya gaya hai, par har decision ke saath ek consequence bhi aata hai."
"Main hamesha kehta hoon, tameez se khelo, par yeh log tameez chhod ke drama le aate hain. This season, they'll try to run the house their way, but when things go out of control, you know who's coming back to set the record straight!" the actor added.
