Bigg Boss 12 will start airing from September 16. Salman Khan, who is returning as the host for the ninth consecutive time will unveil the lineup of the contestants, who will be locked inside the dreaded house for a period of over 100 days. The lineup will have a mix of commoners and celebrities and there are quite a few names that are doing the rounds when it comes to the latter. There are rumours that singer Anup Jalota, who is famous for singing Hindu devotional songs is going to set foot inside the Bigg Boss house, but not alone. Considering the theme this year is vichitra jodis, contestants will go inside the dreaded house and pairs and there is another female singer who is tagging alone with Jalota.

We hear that Jasleen Matharu is entering the Bigg Boss house with Anup. Jasleen has been born and brought up in Mumbai. She started learning singing at the age of 11 and she has recorded quite a few songs. She is also a brown belt in kickboxing and has been practising it for the past 7 years. Love Day Love Day is Jasleen's solo debut album as singer and performer. Check out her picture with Anup Jalota right here:
