Every year, several prominent actors' names surface on the Bigg Boss tentative contestant list, and Rithvikk Dhanjani consistently remains one of the top contenders. While fans and the Bigg Boss audience are often left disappointed when he doesn't make the final cut, 2024 appeared to be the year that would break the pattern. Multiple reports claimed he was all set to enter the Salman Khan-hosted reality show. However, once again, it didn't happen. So, Mid-day caught up with the actor himself to get to know what's up with the Bigg Boss drama.
While Rithvikk laughed off these reports of him entering Bigg Boss, he firmly stated, "It was never supposed to happen." When we questioned why, the actor clearly said everything about the show puts him off and confirmed he "will never do that show."
Talking more about the controversial reality show, Rithvikk shared that he does not relate to it as content or an entertainment piece and asserted, "I am sure it does wonders for people, but not for me." He also clarified that he didn't even meet the creators last year in 2024 and ended the topic on a rather happier note, saying, "Jab tak baatein ho rahi hain, tab tak sab bohot badhiya hai."

Bigg Boss is one of the most-watched reality shows on Indian television and has been hosted by superstar Salman Khan. While Bigg Boss primarily airs on Colors TV, this year, there have been reports that it might shift to Sony Entertainment after the producer of the show has decided to step back.
Meanwhile, some celebrities have already been locked in for the upcoming season of Bigg Boss, and others are still in talks. Comedian Kunal Kamra, who has been in the news for his stand-up special, was reportedly approached as well. He even shared a screenshot of his conversation with a Bigg Boss team member.
Rithvikk Dhanjani, who made his debut with a cameo role in the 2009 show Bandini, rose to prominence with his role in Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahani (2011). He further gained recognition through his iconic portrayal in Pavitra Rishta. Most recently, the actor was seen in Half Love Half Arranged season 2 on Amazon Prime, co-starring his close friend Karan Wahi and Maanvi Gagroo.
