The new season of one of the most popular reality shows, Bigg Boss is all set to premiere on September 13. One of the contestants who will surely increase the show's sex appeal is going to be Television actor Sidharth Shukla. Yes, he's the same guy who flaunted his washboard abs in Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt starrer Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. Sidharth shot to fame with his stint as Shiva on one of the most popular TV soaps, Balika Vadhu. Not many would believe but before taking on acting, Sidharth graduated in Interior Designing from Rachna Sansad School of Interior Design, Mumbai.  Bigg Boss 13: Is Rashami Desai The Highest Paid Contestant On Salman Khan's Show This Year?

Although things changed when he took up modelling and started enjoying every bit of it. Before venturing into acting, Sid won a few honours in the modelling industry including the runner-up position in the Gladrags Manhunt competition in 2004 and later in 2015, where he bagged the coveted title of Best Model of The World that was held in Turkey and became the first Asian to do so.

As for his love life, Sidharth has been linked to a number of Television actresses including Aarti Singh and Rashami Desai, who are expected to be a part of Bigg Boss too. While the rumours of Sidharth and Aarti's relationship have been strong recently, it will be interesting to see them in the house together. Ahead of Bigg Boss 13, Sidharth Shukla Officially Joins Instagram!

Sidharth checks all prerequisites for being a Bigg Boss contestant, one of them being a controversial personality. Shukla has been controversy's favourite child since a while now. In 2014, he was caught drunk driving on the New Year's Eve and in 2018, he was booked for rash driving after he hit his BMW car into three vehicles and rammed it onto a divider. Not just this, Shukla has also been known to have had tiffs with his co-stars. Actor Kunal Verma had openly criticised Sidharth Shukla for his bad behaviour on the sets of Dil Se Dil Tak and said that the actor indulged in abusive behaviour on the sets. The actor is also known to have delayed shoots thanks to his tantrums and created a ruckus on sets.

Looks like Bigg Boss 13 is going to be an exciting affair with Shukla in it. Will the actor get into fights with his co-contestants from the start? Are we to see any romance between him and Aarti? Well, only time will tell. Don't forget to tune in to catch Salman introduce all the contestants on the show on September 29 on Colours TV.
