The anticipation is building up as the 17th season of the reality show 'Bigg Boss,' hosted by Salman Khan, draws near. As per the numerous teasers and promos that have been unveiled, the grand premiere of 'Bigg Boss 17' is scheduled for Sunday, October 15, 2023. While 'Bigg Boss' is known for its unscripted drama, unexpected twists, and turns, one of the aspects that excites fans the most is the roster of contestants for each season. Interestingly, for this season, several individuals were invited to join the show; regrettably, a handful of our beloved favourites have declined the opportunity. Here, we'll highlight a few of them who opted not to enter the show.
1. Munawar Faruqui
According to Tellychakkar, the show's producers extended an offer to Munawar Faruqui for the upcoming season, generating excitement among fans who were eager to see him on the show. However, sources indicate that Munawar Faruqui made a significant financial demand, leading the show's makers to reconsider their decision. While there's no official confirmation regarding this development, it's worth noting that Munawar Faruqui is a well-known stand-up comedian who gained attention in 2022 when he participated in Kangana Ranaut's reality TV show 'Lock Upp Season 1' and emerged as the winner.
