Reality-show personality Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, is going to be one of the more competitive contestants this season. He is associated with reality shows including MTV Roadies XX: Double Cross and Splitsvilla. He has also reportedly won multiple reality shows, including Maa Hai Naa.

Uditi Singh has also been linked to the upcoming season and is among the contestants entering the Bigg Boss house. Her name has attracted additional attention due to reports linking her with actor Karan Wahi. Her entry could therefore generate considerable curiosity among viewers from the very beginning.
