Priyanka Chahar Choudhary-Ankit Gupta's Udaariyaan Co-star To Join Isha Malviya In Bigg Boss 17?

Bigg Boss 17 contestants list: After a blockbuster season 16 featuring Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Ankit Gupta, Shiv Thakare and Archana Gautam, the makers of Bigg Boss have started preparations for the upcoming season. Considering the success of Bigg Boss OTT 2, the production wants to introduce an exciting line-up of participants in the new season.

ISHA MALVIYA IN BIGG BOSS 17

Filmibeat had earlier informed you that Isha Malivya would be seen in Bigg Boss 17. The actress, who worked with Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and Ankit Gupta in Udaariyaan, is the first confirmed Bigg Boss 17 contestant. While the TV diva dropped hints about her participation in Salman Khan's reality show, she later took a U-turn and denied featuring in BB 17 as the contestants are not supposed to reveal anything before the launch.

Bigg Boss 17 will have a unique concept as it will be 'Singles vs Jodis'. While Tejasswi Prakash-Karan Kundrra are expected to lead the jodis, Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav is expected to support the single contestants.
