MUMBAI: Preparations for Season 12 of the controversial series Bigg Boss are in full swing. TellyChakkar has been at the forefront of reporting potential participants.

A little birdie reveals that the makers have offered the show to various popular celebrities. We have also learned of a few names that have given the green signal.

Popular TV duo Rithvik Dhanjani and Asha Negi have apparently been offered a whopping amount. ‘Rithvik and Asha are the channel’s top favourites,’ a source says.

Other couples who have been approached are the recently married Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim. With Shoaib’s show wrapping up, it is highly likely that they might come on board.

When contacted Shoaib, he simply denied the news. ‘We’ve got no such offer. I’m not interested in doing it right now. I can’t comment about the future.’

Rumours have it that TV duo Nikitin Dheer and Kratika Sengar have also been approached. Nikitin’s name comes up before every season of the show goes on air. However, he hasn’t entered the show. Kratika has always said that she would never do the reality series. When we tried contacting her, her manager responded: ‘It’s not true,’ he said.

We couldn’t reach out to Rithvik or Asha for comments.

Well, let’s see which celebs will be locked inside the house. Whom would you like to see? Let us know in the comments below.
