Yesterday marked the much-anticipated launch of the widely popular reality show *Bigg Boss 18*, hosted by the charismatic Salman Khan. After introducing the first and second batches of contestants, Salman took the stage to unveil actress Eisha Singh as the next participant and referred to her as the “face of Colors channel.”
Salman humorously noted that, like every year, the channel has a representative on the show, which usually leads to fans accusing the network of being biased toward that actor. Eisha Singh then playfully revealed that she was upset with the channel. Explaining why, she shared that she received a last-minute call from the Colors team earlier that morning, urging her to pack her bags and rush to join *Bigg Boss*. When she initially refused, they jokingly called her “ehsaan faramosh” (ungrateful), adding a lighthearted twist to her sudden entry into the house.
There’s speculation that Eisha Singh may have stepped in after actress Nia Sharma declined to join *Bigg Boss 18*. At the finale of *Khatron Ke Khiladi 14*, Karan Veer Mehra was crowned the winner, and Rohit Shetty announced Nia Sharma as a confirmed contestant for *Bigg Boss*. Fans were excited by the news, but Nia later took to social media to clear the air.
In an Instagram post, Nia addressed her fans, apologizing for not being part of this season. She expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and hype from her followers, even admitting it almost made her reconsider joining. However, she made it clear that her decision had already been made, and she won’t be entering the *Bigg Boss* house this year.
