Bigg Boss 12 kickstarted last night with a bang! Host Salman Khan introduced us to the contestants of this year, but not without some electrifying performances by them. Winners of the past two seasons of Bigg Boss, Shilpa Shinde, and Manveer Gurjar too made an appearance on the grand premiere. The two were a part of an interrogative panel, which also had two senior journalists. They gave some tips to the contestants before they entered the Bigg Boss house. Apparently, last year's runner-up Hina Khan too was supposed to be a part of the opening episode. In fact, she was going to perform. So what went wrong?

Well, Hina herself revealed the reason for her absence from the grand premiere of Bigg Boss 12. The episode was shot in the span of two days, that is on September 14 and September 15. And Hina was in London till September 13. She didn't get any time to rehearse and hence she didn't end up performing.

Hina also revealed that the makers wanted her to be in the panel. Yes, the same panel that had Shilpa and Manveer. But Hina refused that offer as she said that she doesn't want to judge anyone only by watching an hour long episode. She also said that she will not be a part of any panel throughout this season. Well, fair enough, we say.

 

But it's not that we won't get to see Hina on Bigg Boss 12. In fact, she entered the house yesterday. We EXCLUSIVELY revealed to you that she moderated a heated debate along with her Bigg Boss 11 co-contestant Hiten Tejwani. We will get to see this on tonight's episode of Bigg Boss 12.

Shilpa also entered the house today along with TV actor Karan Patel and the two of them will play an important role in the first nominations of Bigg Boss 12. Stay tuned to LatestLY as we bring you all the latest updates on Bigg Boss 12.
