MUMBAI: The Bigg Boss house has long been a hotbed of high drama, emotional meltdowns, strategic alliances — and the occasional chilling tale.

While audiences tune in for the entertainment, whispers of paranormal activity inside the house have lingered for years, often discussed in hushed tones by former contestants once their journey ends. Now, a resurfaced throwback video has reignited those spine-tingling rumours, adding fuel to the fire.

In what appears to be a genuinely startled reaction, Kishwar runs out in a panic, immediately approaching fellow housemate Mandana Karimi to share her eerie experience.

According to Kishwar, she caught a glimpse of what she believed to be a ghostly figure in the mirror, a moment that left her unsettled and unnerved.

Though she later admitted to suspecting that the show’s creators might have orchestrated the incident for dramatic effect, the fear on her face suggested that the moment felt all too real.

“I know the makers must be behind this,” she confessed, “but I was genuinely scared.” Despite brushing it off afterwards, her initial reaction was one of real fear, a reaction that many viewers have since empathised with, reigniting chatter about the house’s haunted reputation.

Over the years, several former housemates have hinted at unexplained occurrences from strange sounds in the dead of night to eerie sensations and unexplainable chills.

While some dismiss these claims as tricks of the mind heightened by the pressure-cooker environment, others remain convinced that the Bigg Boss households' secrets are beyond the visible.

Whether fact or fiction, these ghostly anecdotes continue to add an element of mystery to India’s most talked-about reality show — keeping fans hooked, and a little spooked, season after season.
