There has been much buzz surrounding actor Nia Sharma after she was announced as the first contestant for Bigg Boss 18 during the grand finale of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. However, Nia took to Instagram to deny these claims, and in a recent interview, she clarified that it was all a publicity stunt to create hype for the new season.
Nia Speaks Up
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Nia Sharma addressed the speculation and provided more clarity on the situation. When discussing why she wouldn’t be participating in Bigg Boss 18, despite Rohit Shetty announcing her name, Nia explained, “It was Colors. I was told at the very last minute. I was supposed to go for Laughter Chefs integration, but a few days after the announcement, Laughter Chefs got canceled. So eventually, when I was supposed to go, and I wasn’t supposed to go, the whole thing was to create a buzz, and I think they succeeded very well.”
Nia added, “If it was planning or anything like that, it’s okay to play along. I could not write the next day. People told me so many harsh words even though I apologised humbly. I was not supposed to put up a note. All that was done by the Colors team. It was their strategy, and it was up to them. I am working for them, and if they are doing something in my name, it’s completely alright.”
She also mentioned that it was the channel’s idea, and she supported their strategy. Nia stated that she is fine with the channel using her name, emphasizing her respect for their planning, having done two shows with them. She admitted that the hype around her involvement was significant and that she enjoyed it.
