The premiere episode of Bigg Boss 12 or what the makers are calling Bigg Night is just two days away. Salman Khan, who is returning to his hosting duties for the ninth consecutive time this year will unveil the lineup of contestants for this year. Last year's winner Shilpa Shinde too will be making an appearance and needless to say, her fans are excited to see her banter with Salman. According to some reports, Bigg Boss 11's runner-up, Hina Khan was also approached by the makers to perform on the opening night of Bigg Boss 12. But looks like Hina wants to maintain a safe distance from the show as according to a report in Pinkvilla, she refused the offer.

"Hina was approached for the show but she refused," the source was quoted. We wonder what is the reason? While some are saying that it's because of her upcoming show, Kasautii Zindagi Kii. She is reportedly playing Komolika on the rebooted version of the show, which will go on air from September 25. So as a part of this, she has signed a contract with Colors' rival channel Star Plus, which prohibits from making an appearance on Colors. Bigg Boss 12 House Pics Out!

During her stint on Bigg Boss 11, she made quite some controversial statements which got her a lot of flak from some celebrities and viewers. And this could be another reason why she doesn't want to be associated with Bigg Boss any more.

Nevertheless, her fans, who were looking forward to seeing her on Bigg Boss 12 are disappointed. Bigg Night of Bigg Boss 12 will air on September 16 at 9 PM on Colors.
