Bigg Boss 18: This comedian from Kapil Sharma's show to join Salman Khan's controversial show?
Fans are eagerly waiting for the return of Bigg Boss 18, the popular and controversial reality show hosted by Salman Khan. Known for its drama, entertainment, and exciting twists, Bigg Boss always keeps viewers hooked. Salman's hosting, with his witty remarks and no-nonsense attitude, is one of the reasons why the show continues to be a favourite among fans. This season, viewers can expect even more surprises, including a fresh theme and new faces entering the house.
Reports suggest that a well-known comedian from The Kapil Sharma Show might be seen in this season of Bigg Boss. The comedian, who became famous for his comic timing and acting skills, has reportedly been approached by the producers and is in talks to join the reality show.
Chandan Prabhakar, famous for his role as Chandu Chaiwala on The Kapil Sharma Show, might be making his reality TV return through Bigg Boss 18. After leaving Kapil Sharma's show in 2022, Chandan has been away from the screen. Several entertainment news outlets have reported that he is in discussions with the makers of Bigg Boss, and although there is no official confirmation yet, sources suggest he is likely to accept the offer soon.
Chandan, who won hearts with his chemistry with Kapil Sharma, has taken a break from the comedy show for personal reasons. In an earlier interview, he told Pinkvilla, "I will not be a part of this season of The Kapil Sharma Show, and there is no specific reason. I just wanted a break." His absence from Kapil's latest Netflix special, The Great Indian Kapil Show, also caught fans' attention.
Kapil Sharma himself addressed the exits of both Chandan Prabhakar and Ali Asgar from his show. In an interview with Aaj Tak, the actor-comedian shared that both actors left for "different reasons" and the decisions about the show's cast are now made by the channel, not him.
