Since Bigg Boss 20’s first promo was released, excitement among fans has been rife, especially as they wonder about the contestant list this time. While several rumored names are circulating online, a video is going viral, claiming to be a promo for the reality show, with visuals of a female contestant in an anarkali with curly hair, who appears to be Shivangi Joshi, as fans speculate, but one cannot confirm since the clip is blurry. Delivering a definitive answer, the actress has now set the record straight, rejecting the claims.
On August 25, 2026, Shivangi posted a note on her Instagram Stories addressing the speculation, clarifying that she isn’t participating in the show. Shivangi said, “It has come to my attention that a video circulating on social media falsely claims to confirm my participation in Bigg Boss. I would like to clarify that I am NOT participating in Bigg Boss 20, and the video is completely fake.”
Shivangi Joshi is a well-known TV actress who has won hearts with her roles in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai on Star Plus, Bade Achhe Lagte Hai 4 on Sony TV, Begusarai on &TV, and others. She was last seen in the reality show Lock Upp: Sach Yaa Sazaa on Netflix (Season 2), where she emerged as the first runner-up, with Shreya Kalra winning the season.
Bigg Boss 20 is set to premiere on September 6, 2026, with Salman Khan returning as host.
