Is Apoorva Mukhija Entering Bigg Boss 19? Here's What We Know So Far

Reality television fans, brace yourselves! Bigg Boss 19 is around the corner, and speculation is already rife about the contestants who may enter the iconic house this season. Among the most talked-about names is content creator and The Traitors fame Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid. While nothing has been confirmed yet, her recent statement has stirred curiosity.

Apoorva Mukhija Confirms She's Been Approached

In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Apoorva Mukhija acknowledged that she has been approached for Bigg Boss 19. Although she hasn’t committed to joining, her “never say never” attitude has sparked hope among fans.

“Yes. I mean, I always say ‘never say never’. But I think just captive reality as a space is very anxiety-inducing, and as someone who overthinks and has anxiety, it’s tough,” she revealed candidly.

While the format may be emotionally overwhelming for her, Apoorva also added with a laugh, “Ab paise se kya hai upar duniya mein? Ab paisa hoga toh karlenge. Dekhte hai.” (Money makes the world go round. If the money’s right, I might do it.)

The Rebel Kid’s Fallout with Uorfi Javed Resurfaces

Apoorva, who was recently seen on Karan Johar’s reality show The Traitors, became a fan favorite for her wit and screen presence. However, she also made headlines for her clash with co-contestant Uorfi Javed during the finale. Addressing the feud, she remarked cheekily, “I have spoken about her in my storytime, and I cannot give her more footage.”

Debunking the Net Worth Buzz

Meanwhile, Apoorva addressed viral claims about her alleged ₹41 crore net worth. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, she laughed off the rumors, saying, “My net worth is nowhere near ₹41 crore. I’m not even making one-tenth of that.” Even her mother was puzzled by the viral reports. Apoorva recalled her mom asking, “Where is all this money? Why aren’t we able to buy a house?”

Bigg Boss 19: What's New This Season?

Bigg Boss 19 promises to be a game-changer. Hosted once again by Salman Khan, the upcoming season is expected to be the longest in franchise history, running for 5.5 months. The teaser shoot is scheduled between July 8–12, and the show will premiere in August 2025 on television, before transitioning to an OTT version later.

Major Highlights of Bigg Boss 19:

• Theme: Rewind, which hints at nostalgic elements and throwbacks to earlier seasons.

• Secret Room Returns: The fan-favorite hidden chamber will be back to add suspense and twists.

• AI Contestant: A first for the show, Habubu — a multilingual, AI-powered robot doll developed in the UAE — will enter the house. Known for her expressive personality and traditional Arabic attire, Habubu could bring a whole new dynamic to the game.

• Star Host: Salman Khan continues his reign as host, anchoring what is expected to be one of the boldest seasons yet.

Who Else Might Join the Show?

While Apoorva Mukhija is still undecided, several other celebrity names have surfaced as possible contestants:

• Krishna Shroff (Tiger Shroff’s sister, last seen in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14)

• Raj Kundra (entrepreneur and husband of Shilpa Shetty)

• Munmun Dutta (Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Babitaji)

• Tanushree Dutta and Mamta Kulkarni

• Sharad Malhotra (TV actor)

• Gaurav Taneja aka Flying Beast (YouTuber)

However, Ram Kapoor has officially declined participation, stating he doesn’t enjoy reality formats and values his privacy.

Apoorva Mukhija may or may not enter the Bigg Boss house, but her name already has fans talking. With a unique theme, tech innovations like an AI contestant, and an extended runtime, Bigg Boss 19 is shaping up to be the most ambitious season yet. Whether you're in it for the drama, nostalgia, or just the chaos, one thing is certain — all eyes are on August 2025.

Social media star Apoorva Mukhija has revealed she’s been approached for Bigg Boss 19 but hasn’t confirmed her participation due to anxiety concerns. The upcoming season, hosted by Salman Khan, will introduce a ‘Rewind’ theme, an AI contestant named Habubu, and a record 5.5-month runtime. The teaser shoot is scheduled for July, with the premiere expected in August 2025.
