Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 12 is one of the much-awaited show of the year. Bigg Boss 12, which is all set to premiere on September 16 this year, has already got the audience talking. The hunt for celebrity contestants has already begun and the names of probable contestants have started doing the rounds. As it was earlier reported that contestants will be welcomed in pairs this year. Reports suggested popular couples from the tinsel town like Gurmeet Chaudhary and Debina Bannerjee, Asha Negi and Rithvik Dhanjani, Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim, Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar, among others have been approached for the latest season. However, Milind Soman denied the reports.

Talking to The Times of India, the actor said that he wasn't  approached for the show at all. He further added, "Well, nobody has approached me yet for Bigg Boss and I have no idea when this happened. I don't know why they are even coming up with names that are not confirmed. It's always like that, they randomly choose names and put it up."

Even after denying the reports, Milind was again asked the same question by TellyChakkar whether or not if he will be a part of Salman Khan's show. The actor, in a statement to the online portal, clearly stated, "No I am not a part of the Bigg Boss house. I wouldn’t mind being locked in a house with 20 other people. It would be fun to be very honest, but as of now, I am NOT a part of the house and nor is my wife Ankita."

Earlier in the day, actor Gurmeet Chaudhary  too took to the micro-blogging site to clear all the speculation. The actor wrote on Twitter, "In reply to the speculation of me participating in bigbos;; I hearby say that my film #paltan is releasing then moving onto my next film project !!! I immensely enjoy watching big boss almost binge watch it. But unfortunately I am NOT doing #bigboss !! Eagerly waiting to watch👍"

On the professional front, Milind Soman is working on a few projects. Talking about it, the actor told the online portal, "I am working for a few projects but let’s see what turns out the best for me and web is something that is progressing would definitely love to be a part of it."
