From Ankita Lokhande, Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Karan Patel to Zareen Khan, Rajpal Yadav, Chunky Pandey, Sidharth Shukla, among others, the housemates will be a mix of both Bollywood and television stars, as reports suggest. The reports have suggested that this time, the makers (after the debacle of its last season Bigg Boss 12) have decided that Bigg Boss 13 will not feature any commoners and only celebrities will enter the show as contestants in order to raise the TRP of the show. Bigg Boss 13 EXCLUSIVE!
