Reports suggest that the producers of Bigg Boss 19 have contacted the hip-hop duo, Seedhe Maut.
In the world of Indian reality television, speculation is rife about the potential contestants for Bigg Boss 19, with some familiar names being linked to the show. Among them are the Delhi-based hip-hop duo Seedhe Maut, rapper Raftar, and actress Elnaaz Norouzi.
Seedhe Maut, comprised of Siddhant Sharma (Calm) and Abhijay Negi (Encore ABJ), has been at the forefront of India's hip-hop scene for several years, gaining popularity for their lyrics that delve into social and political issues relevant to the Indian youth. Over the years, they have produced over 50 tracks, including hits like Shaktimaan, Khatta Flow, and Maina.
In 2017, Seedhe Maut signed with the independent music label Azadi Records, and following the release of their final project, Lunch Break, in 2023, they parted ways with the label and went on to establish their own independent imprint, DL91, in 2024. Reports suggest that they have been approached for Bigg Boss 19, but as of now, they have not officially confirmed their participation. Talks are ongoing, but there is no official confirmation from the duo themselves.
Raftar, a rapper not a member of Seedhe Maut, has also expressed interest in joining Bigg Boss 19 after being approached. However, it is not specified whether he has received any offers similar to the ₹6 crore reportedly turned down by Elnaaz Norouzi.
Norouzi, known for her roles in films such as 'Veere Di Wedding' and 'Jhund', reportedly declined the offer due to work commitments.
Another potential contestant rumoured to be in the running for Bigg Boss 19 is Kavya Mehra, India's AI Influencer created by Collective Artists Network. While the timeline for her potential participation in Bigg Boss 19 is unknown, it is said that she might join the show for the first time in the reality television industry. The reasons for her potential participation are not specified at this time.
Bigg Boss 19, hosted by Salman Khan, may feature an AI influencer for the first time, marking a significant shift in the format of the popular reality show.
