Bigg Boss 20 is creating plenty of buzz ahead of its September 6 premiere, with fans eager to know which celebrities will enter Salman Khan's controversial reality show. While several names have been linked to the upcoming season, some celebrities have made it clear that they have no interest in becoming part of the Bigg Boss house.
One of the latest names is Mallika Sherawat. Rumours recently suggested that the actress could enter Bigg Boss 20, but she has firmly denied the speculation. She told paparazzi that she would not be going on the show.
But Mallika is certainly not alone. Several other well-known personalities have either rejected the show or repeatedly said that they do not want to participate.
Key Details

1. Mallika Sherawat
Mallika Sherawat has once again made her position clear about Bigg Boss. When photographers asked her about entering the 20th season, she simply denied it and said she would not be going.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Mallika has rejected Bigg Boss. In 2025, she had also dismissed reports of entering Bigg Boss 19, saying that she was not doing the show and would never do it.
Mallika has previously explained that she prefers reality shows involving travel, adventure, food and conversations rather than staying inside a house under cameras around the clock.
2. Ram Kapoor
Popular television and film actor Ram Kapoor has also been linked to Bigg Boss several times.
According to News Nation, Kapoor prefers focusing on scripted acting projects and finds the idea of staying inside the Bigg Boss house for around three months difficult.
The actor was recently seen in Lock Upp 2, which renewed fan requests for him to appear on Bigg Boss. However, he has continued to stay away from the Salman Khan-hosted show.
3. Munmun Dutta
Munmun Dutta, best known for playing Babita Iyer in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, is another familiar name associated with Bigg Boss rumours.
Her name has surfaced for the show multiple times, but she has reportedly made it clear that she is not currently interested in participating in this kind of reality show.
Despite her popularity and strong television fan base, Munmun has chosen not to enter the Bigg Boss house.
4. Gaurav Taneja
YouTuber and social media personality Gaurav Taneja, popularly known as Flying Beast, has also been linked with Bigg Boss.
With his large digital following, his participation could have generated significant interest. However, according to News Nation, Taneja did not show interest in becoming a contestant.
His name has appeared in discussions surrounding the show, but there has been no confirmed entry.
5. Surveen Chawla
Actress Surveen Chawla has reportedly received offers to participate in Bigg Boss over the years but has repeatedly declined.
The actress has continued to focus on her acting career, particularly her work in web series and OTT projects. According to News Nation, she has preferred to remain focused on acting rather than joining a reality show.
6. Jannat Zubair
One of the most frequently discussed names is Jannat Zubair.
The young actress and social media star has reportedly been approached for Bigg Boss several times. However, she has said that staying inside the house for around three months would be difficult for her.
Her name continues to generate excitement among fans whenever a new Bigg Boss season approaches, but she has so far stayed away from the show.
7. Sunita Ahuja
Sunita Ahuja, wife of actor Govinda, has also revealed that she has repeatedly rejected invitations from the Bigg Boss team.
According to News Nation, she said that she had been invited to participate for around four years and had received offers for both the television version and Bigg Boss OTT. However, she never considered joining the show.
Her decision makes her another celebrity who has consistently kept her distance from the reality show's format.
Why Do Celebrities Reject Bigg Boss?
For many celebrities, the biggest challenge is the long commitment and constant camera presence.
Contestants can spend several weeks or months inside the house, away from their normal lives and professional schedules. They also have to deal with intense public scrutiny, arguments, personal revelations and the pressure of being filmed almost constantly.
Some stars prefer scripted acting because they have greater control over their work, while others simply do not feel comfortable with the Bigg Boss format.
Bigg Boss 20 Begins on September 6
Despite some celebrities turning down the show, excitement around Bigg Boss 20 remains high. Salman Khan will return as host, and the new season is scheduled to premiere on September 6, 2026.
As the premiere approaches, more names and rumours are expected to emerge. But for Mallika Sherawat and several other celebrities, the answer appears to remain a clear no to entering the Bigg Boss house.
