Mumbai: In a significant development for fans of the popular reality show Bigg Boss, Bollywood actress Isha Koppikar has been officially confirmed as the first contestant for the eagerly-awaited Bigg Boss 18 season. This revelation comes amidst a flurry of media attention surrounding the actress, largely due to her candid and controversial comments regarding her experiences in the film industry.
According to sources from Bigg Boss Khabri, a reliable insider for all things related to the show, Isha Koppikar has agreed to join the Bigg Boss house. The actress, who has been in and out of the limelight over the years, sees this as a strategic move to revive her career. With Bigg Boss 18 set to premiere on October 5, expectations are high, and fans are buzzing with excitement over Isha’s participation.
Recently, Isha Koppikar made headlines for an explosive interview where she shed light on the dark underbelly of the Hindi film industry. In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Isha revealed distressing incidents that occurred during her early years in Bollywood. She recounted an unpleasant encounter with a prominent A-list actor who made inappropriate advances. “One actor asked me to meet him alone, without my driver or anyone else,” she shared. “He said, ‘There are already controversies about me, and the staff spreads rumors.’ But I refused him and told him that I couldn’t come alone. He was an A-list actor from the Hindi film industry. I must have been around 22-23 years old at that time.”
Isha’s recollections did not stop there. She also spoke about another incident when she was just 18 years old. At that age, she was approached by a secretary and an actor who insinuated that to secure work in the industry, one had to be “friendly” with actors. “They told me that to get work, you have to be ‘friendly’ with actors.
. I am very friendly, but what does ‘friendly’ mean? I am so friendly that Ekta Kapoor once told me to have some attitude,” Isha recalled.
These revelations have generated waves of discussions among fans and industry insiders alike. Isha Koppikar’s brave stance has drawn both support and criticism, highlighting the persisting issues within the Bollywood industry.
Amidst this backdrop, her participation in Bigg Boss 18 adds an extra layer of intrigue.
